The #SouthAfrican construction market stands as an economic colossus, valued at a staggering $25.5 billion, and primed for a substantial annual growth rate exceeding 3% from 2024 to 2027. This growth trajectory, propelled by the government’s ambitious National Development Plan 2023, has catalyzed a surge of mega projects spanning all nine provinces. Noteworthy endeavors such as the monumental #MtentuBridge, destined to be Africa’s tallest, and the visionary High-Speed Rail (HSR) framework, underscore South Africa’s ascendancy as an infrastructural powerhouse in the continent.

We have all experienced a tough property development market in London for the last few years. Our latest report on International Construction Costs evidences a part of that challenge with London ranking the most expensive city in which to build globally. This is a bit ironic with the backdrop of quality issues currently being uncovered. Not only is it expensive, but it is not delivering consistently on quality.

As part of our Skanska Costain STRABAG Joint Venture, we’ve successfully completed the western section of the Copthall Green Tunnel. This is one of five green tunnels which are shallower than the main tunnels and finished with trees and shrubs on top, ensuring they blend into the landscape. We used an innovative technique to save money for HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd and reduce risk for employees; a ‘roof traveller’ created a temporary deck between the tunnel walls to support the construction and pouring of the concrete roof. Check out the video below to see it in action 📹 Once the section of roof was strong enough, the roof traveller was lowered and moved to the next section. This only needed four people to operate and saved nearly £5m compared with traditional methods. It also provided big safety benefits, cutting the number of working-at-height hours by 90,000. #TransformingPerformance #Infrastructure
