JOINED UP COMPETENCIES
Being multi-faceted, it is starkly clear, is a huge differentiator for M&D as it can cater to major aspects of a project as a coherent unit.
The company comprises several specialised units, including:
Building (10 ongoing projects): Long-associated with public sector higher learning institutions and healthcare facilities, it is one of only a few contractors that has also specialised in inner city refurbishments, having successfully completed the renovation, restoration and redesign of numerous residential, commercial and public space buildings.
Civil Engineering (Seven ongoing projects): Operates primarily in the mining, water and energy sectors, drawing on the skills contained within the wider group. Works include mining infrastructure, water treatment plants and pump stations, and civil structures for fuel, gas and electricity projects.
Pipe Laying (Four ongoing projects): Recognised as a leader in this field, M&D has its own equipment and expertise able to lay steel pipes up to three metres in diameter. It predominantly serves, water, oil & gas, and mining clients, and recently became the first native contractor to have its workshop certified to ISO 3834-2 quality standards by the South African Institute of Welding.
Road & Earthworks (Two ongoing projects): Roads and Earthworks is complementary to the other units, demonstrated by recent works around mining sites and the construction of a precast stormwater culvert and stream upgrade with two steel bridge crossings for a ‘green’ initiative in Central Johannesburg.
Oil & Gas (Two ongoing projects): M&D’s newest division focuses on tank farm construction, fuel depot refurbishments and new builds in the
oil & gas space.
Plant Division: Serves all divisions. While certain plant items, such as large side booms, are specific to the pipe laying industry, most of the equipment can be deployed in general building, earth moving and civil engineering projects. The fleet is regularly renewed and upgraded to ensure high productivity levels and fuel efficiency.
