Functional Design
Watson Consulting Engineers provides clients with an expert engineering team quipped with diverse skills to meet various challenges across industries.
It services two distinct developmental sectors: building & industrial infrastructure and road-related infrastructure. Our most recent services include structural fire engineering using both prescriptive and performance based design techniques.
Our designs are modelled in modern BIM software, but designed from first principles. This safeguards our engineers’ integrity, and ensures they never fall into the ‘what you see is what you get’ trap of modern design software.
We’re constantly looking for new advancements and technologies to find the smartest and most optimal solutions..
Road Safety & Material Innovation
Providing well engineered roads is vital to maintaining safety in most projects we undertake at Watson Consulting Engineers.
This business unit is proficient in the design, management and rehabilitation of roads. We have specific teams that deal with geometric designs, pavement engineering, pavement rehabilitation and the development of pavement management systems.
Our engineers have been involved in the design and management of roads under the auspices of national government departments and local municipalities.
To complement our well-engineered pavements, our specialists design surfaces using modern technologies that determine adequate surface finishes as opposed to the previous penetration grade method.
Planning is important in order to ensure that all engineering projects completed by our Civil Engineering Firm are safe, stable, and built to last.
High Performance
South Africa is a water-stressed nation and predictions are, it will face serious water shortages over the next decade.
Our water engineers have taken the initiative to sensitise municipalities as well as end-users to the need for sound water demand management.
We service two important sectors through this business unit: water and water demand management and sanitation.
Our water engineers are capable of determining how much water, and revenue, is being lost in any given system, and then developing methods to reduce these losses. Using technologically advanced equipment we’re able to detect leaks, locate underground pipes and record important water-related data.
Urban drainage poses a massive problem to municipal infrastructure due to the rapid post development of previously developed drainage infrastructure.
Our engineers have developed cost-effective methods of designing highly efficient drainage systems and mitigating the flow of water within these systems before they enter municipal water infrastructure.
In line with green building requirements, our engineers are also well positioned to develop systems that harness stormwater and repurpose it for green roofs or landscaped vegetation. This reduces the cost of maintenance of such infrastructure.
As part of our commitment to socially-responsible engineering, we provide this service for all clients who require it. Our team is flexible and takes all environmental considerations into account to minimize environmental damage.
