Mechanical Building Services


Working with SSA Consulting Engineers, we are responsible for the design, detailing and correct implementation of all mechanical services for a number of government funded projects. The drawing above is an example of the water reticulation layout for a police station.

Pumpstation Upgrades and Maintenance


This is the view of the inside of a water Pump Station located at Makhatini, Zululand. I am working with SSA Consulting Engineers to refurbish the pump stations (there are 5 similar pump stations in the scheme, drawing 6MWe of power). The pump stations are all approximately 40 years old and have not been well maintained, we are currently implementing very necessary remedial works.

Pipeline Repair


A view of some repair work of an 800mm diameter water pipeline. I was the on-site engineer.

Small Woodchip Hopper


This is an example of a "mirrored assembly". The power of a good CAD system is undeniable.

Concrete Shutter System



Here is an example of a typical detail drawing that is produced from the 3D Solid models shown elsewhere in this blog.
