Construction Management & QA/QC
Project management, construction management, safety and environmental management, quality control, scheduling and reporting for EC&I works.
In-House Fabrication
Regional fabrication strength supporting Zambia establishment.
Our South African facility provides an end-to-end solution — detailing, fabrication, delivery and on-site construction — tracked with STRUMIS material control software and Tekla detailing across four dedicated workstations.
The facility is well suited to fabricating and assembling modular structures, under cover or in dedicated laydown areas, and our detailing team works directly with client engineers so every stakeholder contributes their expertise.
STRUMIS traceability
Every steel component is tracked by progressive barcode scanning, with live progress updates from detailing through to final installation.
