Our Story

With over 30 years of experience in structural, mechanical, and civil design, we are a highly skilled team of senior designers, 3D modellers and engineers specialising in mining, industrial, and construction projects. We bring a deep understanding of design standards, modelling techniques, and fabrication processes, consistently delivering 2D layouts and 2D detailed  drawings and advanced 3D models that align with complex engineering specifications. Our background spans from electric arc furnaces, structural supports, staircases and ore handling infrastructure across Southern Africa and abroad. Using mainly Autodesk software incl. Vault as data management system, we’ve led design efforts from concept through to fabrication and commissioning. We possess strong interpersonal and leadership abilities, enabling effective coordination with multidisciplinary teams, project stakeholders, and clients. Our organisational skills, attention to detail, and technical insight ensure the timely and precise delivery of high-quality engineering documentation across all project phases.

About Us

Who we are

We are a team of leaders in our field, all working together to provide engineering solutions across the globe. Together, we’re a formidable problem-solving, project design team, who value-maximising force

What we do

  • We specialize in mechanical, structural, piping, and civil engineering designs from concept to feasibility study to project execution and detail design, as well as final shop detail drawings for fabrication. We take care of all your engineering design needs.
  • Parametric 3D modeling and 2D concept layouts during pre-feasibility and feasibility stage. Regular 3D concept model reviews with the client.
  • Parametric 3D modeling and 2D drawings for detail design during execution stage. Regular 3D concept model reviews with the client. Many clients require us to provide PR-Eng sign off during detail design phase as well as a final BOQ to allow them to go out to the Market for costing.
  • Shop detail drawings for steelwork fabrication.
  • Reverse engineering services.
  • 3D printing services for concept review.
