Provincial bridges, river crossings, canals and mass earthworks. Work that gets built in a live river, under traffic, or in a season that will not wait.
The Discipline
Heavy civils is the discipline where the site dictates the method. A river bridge is governed by the flood season, a road widening by the traffic accommodation, a canal by the irrigation calendar. Our long relationship with the KZN Department of Transport has been built on getting those constraints right before the first machine moves.
The scope runs from bulk earthworks and layerworks through to the finished deck: substructure, superstructure, approach works, guardrails and rehabilitation. We work almost entirely under the GCC suite, priced to SANS 1200 and constructed to the provincial standard specifications.

Who We Build For
Method
Substructure work in a river bed is scheduled into the low-flow window. Getting that wrong costs a season, so it is decided before tender price is confirmed.
Coffer dams, diversion channels and dewatering designed and signed off, with traffic accommodation in place before the road is touched.
Excavation to founding, inspection, then bases, piers, abutments and wing walls. Founding conditions in a river bed frequently differ from the borehole log, so early exposure matters.
Falsework or precast beams, deck reinforcement and pour, then parapets, joints, surfacing and drainage.
Approach fills, layerworks, guardrails, road furniture, then rehabilitation of the working area and river bed.
Capacity
We self-perform the work that carries the risk and subcontract the rest to an approved vendor list. What follows is the plant and capability this discipline draws on.
