Consulting Engineers South Africa (Cesa), supported by Aon South Africa, on Thursday announced the winners of this year’s Cesa Aon Engineering Excellence Awards, which recognise outstanding achievements in the engineering industry and celebrate innovation, quality, outstanding workmanship and professionalism.

“Consulting engineers are at the forefront of infrastructure development and these awards bear witness to the pivotal role that consulting engineers, as trusted advisers and partners to our clients, play in the delivery of services to the people of South Africa and the African continent.

“Given the pivotal role that Cesa members have in South African society and the economy, these awards are about thanking all the participants for the role they play in our country’s growth. Most of all, the winning projects show us that South Africa still has so much to deliver and offer to its citizenry, and that the potential of the country that we love and call home will continue to require excellence that the consulting engineering industry has to offer,” commented Cesa president Lynne Pretorius.

To promote the consulting engineering industry to young professionals, Cesa recognises the contribution young engineers make to the industry and to the future of the profession.
