Our team and experience

  • Flexible & adjustable.

  • Graduate civil, mechanical & industrial engineers.

  • In-house Cost Management, Quality Assurance & Administrative Support.

  • Total solutions package in a Turnkey format. 

 

Our team is flexible and able to adjust to clients’ specific needs with respect to geography, internal processes and systems, as well as the availability of resources. The core team of project managers consists of graduate civil, mechanical and industrial engineers, with inhouse Cost Management, Quality Control and Administration Support complementing our service delivery.

We have been involved in projects of repetitive nature and are in a position to package total solutions in a Turnkey format for similar projects. This includes the sealing of redundant mine shafts, security installations, box cut developments, underground mine access, fuel and lubrication storage facilities, legacy rehabilitation, ventilation shafts, conveyor systems etc.

Although it is preferable for formal project management to be included as early as possible in the life cycle of a project and remain included until closure, we have with success completed stand-alone activities and phases in project life-cycles, such as feasibility studies (mine development, facilities relocation, minerals extraction), implementation planning (establishment of a cellular telephone enterprise in the Middle East), risk assessments (mine development in Africa) etc.

Some of our most successful ventures have arisen from being appointed to perform project status audits on “in trouble” projects and the subsequent appointment to get the projects back on track towards completion. Although this is not “the ideal” type of project, we pride ourselves in the fact that we have the skills and tenacity to get involved and ensure eventual success.
