Africa’s large size and vast variety of cultures make it an
extremely challenging region. Despite this we have been growing
steadily over the years with work in 34 countries and permanent
offices in South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria.
A significant amount of our success in the region is attributable to our growing presence in South Africa, where we have over 300 staff working in sectors ranging from transport, health and education to buildings and stadia, communications and energy.
Our expansion in South Africa has been driven by our work on a major capital expansion programme, which Transnet – a state owned transport organisation – embarked on to upgrade nine ports and 2000km of freight railway line. With Hatch Africa and Goba we are programme managing the upgrade of all facilities, totalling approximately ZAR78 billion.
In communications we have been providing technical and marketing due diligence services on the prospective launch of a new dedicated commercial satellite serving African mobile phone and satellite service providers, and a new low cost mobile network.
Also significant are the achievements of our health and education experts who have been growing activities across the continent through their engagement with worldwide aid organisations.
In Zambia, HLSP, our health consultancy, is managing a multi-sector programme – Strengthening the AIDS Response in Zambia (STARZ) – aimed at reducing vulnerability to HIV infection and to the social and economic consequences of HIV and AIDS. HSLP is also supplying technical assistance and managing a R446 million programme to support South Africa’s response to HIV and AIDS.
We recently embarked on the Education Sector Support Programme in Nigeria. Funded by the UK Department for International Development the project has been designed to help develop a system in which every child in Nigeria is given the opportunity to receive a basic standard of education.
In Southern Sudan, we are helping rebuild the country’s water, primary education and healthcare services through the Sudan Basic Services Fund. The programme makes use of the existing networks of NGOs to deliver service improvements.
Meanwhile, in Uganda we project managed the delivery of the Small Towns Water and Sanitation Project, a US$30 million African Development Bank-funded project to provide water supply, sanitation, stormwater drainage and solid waste disposal facilities to seven towns.
Our building design engineers have been commissioned by Libya’s Engineering Consulting Office for Utilities to design a new library and auditorium at the Al Fateh University campus in Tripoli.
From the beginning water has been a cornerstone of our work in Africa – stemming from work on the Nile’s Aswan Dam between 1926 and 1933 and later landmark projects such as the Greater Cairo Wastewater Project for which we provided specialist tunnelling input.
Over the years we have also worked in the power sector where landmarks include serving as technical advisor on the 1320MW Jorf Lasfar private power development in Morocco.
