Civil Infrastructure & Pipelines

Civil Infrastructure Delivery

Under our CIDB Grade 8CE PE accreditation, Makhaswa Holdings executes vital municipal and bulk water infrastructure across South Africa. We specialize in deep trenching, high-capacity pipeline installations, and structural hydraulic works.

Our operations comply strictly with SANS 1200 and municipal standard details. From precast box culverts to mass concrete retaining walls, each project is backed by comprehensive geotechnical assessments, trench shoring safety protocols, and certified pressure testing.

All pipeline and drainage installations are delivered in accordance with client engineering specifications and municipal requirements.
