Geopolitical tensions are disrupting oil supply chains, putting global energy markets under strain, and creating uncertainty around pricing and availability. For South Africa, which relies heavily on imported fuel, this has caused rising fuel costs, delays at ports and congestion

The 34 km underground tunnel enables water transfer between the Polihali and Katse reservoirs, forming a critical link in the system. Multinational, buildings and infrastructure engineering consultancy Zutari is contributing to one of the most technically complex components of the

The mining sector’s significant progress in health and safety – with fatalities declining from 200 to 41 over the two decades from 2005 to 2025 – has been supported by improved skills development. According to the newly appointed director of

Encouragingly, collaboration between public and private sector stakeholders in South Africa’s civil engineering industry is strengthening – underpinned by a firmer stance on accountability across the construction value chain. According to Lindie Fourie, Operations Manager at the Bargaining Council for

As fuel prices surge amid global oil volatility linked to the ongoing conflict in Iran, South Africans are being cautioned against storing large quantities of petrol and diesel in excess of 100 litres at home, a practice that significantly increases

As mining operations become deeper, more mechanised and increasingly data-driven, the role of technology in safeguarding workers and ensuring regulatory compliance has never been more critical. For proudly South African industrial software leader Adroit Technologies, this shift has driven the

A manufacturing plant needs a steady-state generator set that can power sensitive CNC machines with stable and clean power. A mine requires generators that operate underground in confined spaces while meeting safety, emission, and noise requirements. Meanwhile, a construction site’s

Zambia is experiencing rapid growth in mining, driven predominantly by copper but also increasing interest in other minerals linked to Electric Vehicle (EV) battery and energy transition demand, including cobalt, nickel and lithium. New mining licences are being granted, and

South Africa’s construction sector continues to experience fatal building failures, including the George and Ormonde collapses in 2024 and 2026. While causes differ, these incidents consistently reflect weak oversight, fragmented accountability, and limited visibility of who is on site. “Building
