Sanyati North
Managing Director: Gerhard van Schalkwyk
Sanyati North has played a significant role in the development of the greater Johannesburg and Tshwane region, as well as Mpumulanga, Limpopo and Northwest, over the last 15 years, and focuses on civil engineering projects in the inland regions of South Africa. Sanyati North has the expertise and experience to tackle almost any construction project, and activities include:
- Road works
- Bulk earthworks
- Residential and golf estate developments
- Township services and developments
- Pipelines
- Concrete structures
Sustainable growth
With the consolidation of the old Sanyati Inland and Sanyati North companies into the new Sanyati North from the beginning of March 2010, the division’s objective is to keep growing in a sustainable, controlled way, moving into new areas geographically and work wise. The consolidated division also means added depth and capabilities, and combined professional experience to get the project executed to the client’s satisfaction.
Historically turnover for the Gauteng-based Sanyati Civils Inland division was drawn largely from private sector developments, whereas Sanyati North did more road works projects. By combining the two companies into Sanyati North, the new division is ideally placed to take advantage of the numerous opportunities in the public sector and will build on becoming a strong player in the government contract sector as well as maintaining its strength in private developments.
World class projects
The division has recently been involved in the following major projects:
- The Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) on a 23 km stretch of the N1 freeway from 14th Avenue in the south to the Buccleuch interchange in the north including major upgrades of Malibongwe Drive, William Nicol and Rivonia Road interchanges (Sanyati North was a partner in a joint venture with WBHO, Rainbow Construction, Patula, Glash and Munasi on this project); and
- The upgrade of the R40 through the centre of Nelspruit.
- Sanyati North’s involvement in the FIFA Soccer World Cup infrastructure involved several high-profile contracts around the FNB Stadium which included:
-
- The realignment and upgrade of Stadium Avenue;
- The construction of a section of Golden Highway – a dual carriageway access to the stadium and the Nasrec exhibition centre; and
- The construction of platforms, roads and services for the FIFA hospitality areas around the stadium.
- New Taxiway for ACSA
- Monaghan Farms Eco Estate
Professional excellence
Although still a relatively small player in the industry, Sanyati North measures up extremely well and has had a good year in 2009/2010 with an increase in turnover and profit. The division prides itself on its great workforce, excellent team work and highly effective systems and controls. The division’s management team is dynamic and flexible, and equipped with plant and information technology resources to provide theoretical and practical engineering solutions to a range of civil contracting challenges.
The division is fully aware of its social responsibility to its various communities and has applied its first-hand experience and knowledge to upgrade gravel roads to surfaced standard and improve storm water drainage in several areas, especially Soweto and Ivory Park.
Sanyati North keeps ahead by combining professional discipline and practical engineering knowledge, and maintains a high standard of quality and service excellence.
With he R100 million Medupi Coal Stockyard project, as subcontracor to Thyssen Krupp, which started in-2010, several prospective tenders in the pipeline, mainly on mines and government contracts, as well as possible ventures into neighbouring states, the division is in a good position to fulfil its role as a major player in the construction industry.
