Design & Software Platforms

We use various software platforms as well as in-house developed costing programs and the latest publications governing best practice and design codes. Each engineering function is resourced with enabling tools that are selected and designed to complement and prove engineering calculations and theoretical comprehension:

Mechanical Engineering Software

All our mechanical related designs, modelling and simulations are executed with the latest AutoCAD Design Suite and Solid Rock software. Our mechanical engineers have gained extensive practical experience in the use of these software over the years.

Electrical Engineering Software

Our electrical engineering practice utilizes three complimentary design software suites; namely Power System Simulator for Engineers (PSSE), DigSilent and MicroStation. The first two software are used for integrated power system modelling, analysis and simulation. Whilst the latter is mainly used for draughting purposes.

Programme Management Software

Our programme management undertakings are executed through Primavera Project Planner – Project Portfolio Management (PPM) solutions. The organization is in the process of acquiring ProjectWise software that will facilitate the integration and management of all field and office activities on one platform. The organization has a number of custom built programs for costing, bills of quantities, drawing registers, office administration, and more.

Support Services

Over the years we have established excellent working relationships with our support service providers. This has led to service level agreements with support and administrative businesses, e.g. Courier Services, Travel Services, stationary, etc. that can be made use of via project related expenses.

Mini-substation Solutions

The organization has identified the development of its own mini-substation solutions for targeted industries as the potential contributor to the organization’s long-term profitability and market differentiation. Whilst this forms part of the research and development projects ear-marked for 2016/17 financial year, the organization is not prioritizing on it as yet. The emphasis is in ensuring the sustainability, profitability and value add on the existing solutions.
