Company Announcement - In a recent acquisition, South African founded engineering company DRA has purchased Cape Town-based ports and harbour engineering business RLH Consulting Engineers. This is yet another step for DRA, headquartered in Johannesburg, towards achieving their global diversification strategy.
DRA will leverage the wealth of industry experience of key personnel in RLH, spanning more than 30 years, which focus on international Port and Harbour developments and Coastal Engineering. The management and staff at RLH have worked on multi-million dollar projects together with leading international companies, and are dedicated to completing the work on time and within budget, which makes it a suitable acquisition as this philosophy fits closely with DRA’s objectives of enabling DRA’s clients to achieve their project goals optimally.
Additional services that DRA will now be able to offer current and future clients include:
• Marine Project Concept Planning and Evaluation
• Ports, Harbours and Coastal Engineering
• Marine Terminals and Pipelines
• Environmental Data Collection and Analysis for Marine Projects
• Port Logistics and Materials Handling
• Forensic Engineering and Numerical Analysis
RLH will be integrated into DRA’s new Cape Town office, servicing client projects in the South African region as well as up into West Africa. “Diversification into marine engineering as offered by RLH, has been part of DRA’s strategy for the past year and we are very excited about RLH forming part of our team. The RLH culture and diligent approach to projects align well with that of DRA and we expect a smooth integration. I am excited about the prospects of our Cape Town offering which supports our innovation drive, “says Johann de Bruin, Managing Director, DRA Africa.
“RLH has a good working relationship with DRA going back a number of years, and has provided specialist marine design services to DRA on various projects internationally. We are excited about integrating into a global engineering company, with the associated increase in capacity in delivering EPCM projects that this will bring. We look forward to further developing and enhancing the engineering capabilities of the new marine division within DRA.”
