An efficient Defence Force depends on an effective, operationally ready estate environment. Defence industry facilities require continual upgrade and support. This path must be flexible and efficient, with smart design that optimises cost and provides for user requirements across the infrastructure’s Whole-of- Life (WOL).
WSP works with the South African National Defence Force to conceptualise, select the best options, manage the feasibility process and execute the project. Our considerable experience has taught us to approach every project by considering the multi-cultural challenges of your internationally competitive industry.
Our strong project management skills and advanced technical expertise means we add value to the work we do for you - from project conception to completion. We are experts in being consortium leaders; environmental, health and safety; cost control and schedule monitoring; multi-criteria risk analysis; procurement strategies; master-planning, construction management; project support, completion and handover.
We design and implement safe, secure and operational defence infrastructure by delivering construction management, installation management, structural engineering, electrical engineering, HVAC services, mechanical engineering and piping engineering.
