Enhancing Infrastructure Resilience in South Africa
Finalists announced for the CESA Aon Engineering Excellence Awards 2024
12 July 2024: With infrastructure becoming increasingly vulnerable to economic fluctuations, climate change, and natural disasters, the need for resilient infrastructure has now become imperative. Engineering excellence is therefore critical in developing systems that can withstand these challenges, ensuring safety, sustainability, and stability for communities and economies alike.
“Engineers and innovation in the industry have played a critical role in increasing the quality of life in South Africa,” says Chris Campbell, CEO of Consulting Engineers South Africa (CESA). “From developing enhanced water supply, to providing healthcare, reliable electricity, fixing natural disaster-ravaged areas, building transportation systems and developing innovation in agriculture, the resilience of these projects is a testament to the ingenuity of this industry and changing the infrastructure narrative in South Africa,” he adds.
To recognise and celebrate South Africa-based consulting engineers, who are members of CESA, and the difference they are making to the country, CESA is proud to host the upcoming CESA Aon Engineering Excellence Awards in August.
Now in its 52nd year, the CESA Aon Engineering Excellence Awards feature a range of categories, highlighting the quality of engineering design, ingenuity, originality, innovation, business excellence and outstanding leaders in the industry.
“By fostering innovation and collaboration, we are not only enhancing the longevity and reliability of our projects, but also contributing to the overall stability and growth of our economy,” Campbell highlights. “The finalists for this year’s awards showcase a diverse range of projects across the board. We congratulate every organisation, their clients and individuals,” he adds.
