The firm works on the concept of a Virtual Project Team, utilizing the Internet and drawing on resources from all its offices and any joint venture partners as required. Great emphasis has been placed on the acquisition and application of high-end computer hardware and software in an effort to gain a competitive advantage. This is in line with GMH/CPP's policy of maintaining a highly responsive, production orientated corporate culture.
GMH/CPP is a member of the South African Association of Consulting Engineers and presently has two accredited Targeted Procurement Practitioners.
GMH/CPP has the professional capacity to undertake projects in the following fields:
GMH/CPP is fully capable of the civil, geotechnical and traffic engineering aspects and limited structural works for petroleum service stations, shopping centres, office blocks, factories and any other commercial development. Other building structures such as hospitals, sport facilities and educational buildings can also be handled.
We specialize in the analysis and design of a wide variety of civil engineering structures including bridges, culverts, retaining walls, steel structures, reservoirs and water towers. Construction techniques include reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, structural steel, timber and masonry.
GMH/CPP has been involved in a number of geotechnical investigations that were mainly undertaken for purposes of township and commercial developments.
| Traffic & Transportation Engineering |
We are competent to undertake traffic impact studies, access investigation, traffic signal planning and design, traffic counts, origin-destination and trip generation surveys for roads, townships and commercial developments.
We have been involved with the design of residential and industrial townships with special reference to low-cost applications. Work includes streets, stormwater, sewer and water networks as well as outfall sewers.
| Labour Based Construction |
GMH/CPP boasts extensive experience in the design and administration of labour based construction of roads and township services. We have been involved in various successfully completed Contractor Development Programmes, designed and managed projects under the Professional Team Approach, Managing Contractor Approach and Targeted Procurement System. We have also perfected the process of maximisation of labour based road construction through the on site manufacturing of kerbs as well as paving blocks at some of our construction sites We also have incorporated the concept of community retained earnings in a number of Design and Construct (Turnkey) tenders for specifically the Johannesburg Roads Agency. We have NQF qualified personnel in labour intensive construction methods to support our believe that labour intensive construction should be promoted to higher levels of implementation within the civil engineering construction industry in South Africa.
| Urban & Rural Road Design |
GMH/CPP has extensive knowledge of the design of low volume roads, provincial roads, urban freeways, bridges, airport runways and taxiways. Through our involvement with various provincial and local authorities we have also built up a knowledge pool for the rehabilitation of pavements using Mechanistic/DCP/Catalogue design methods. Techniques included in this knowledge pool are in situ recycling, asphalt overlay, concrete block paving and Hyson Cells.
| External Funding Applications |
GMH/CPP takes prides in having extensive experience of the working procedures of local, provincial and central government in the implementation of their capital projects. The application for "external" funding to support some of our clients through the MIG process has lead to various successful project implementations. This aspect of knowing our client and the environment in which they operate is considered very important to ensure the smooth and effective execution of projects.
GMH/CPP is truly specialised in running Joint Venture projects. JV's have been successfully formed with emerging consultants requiring technical or project management support. Further to this we have also associated successfully with international consultants requiring an on-the-ground presence and local engineering knowledge. This capacity is augmented in the South African region through our affiliation with CPP. It is also our believe that Joint Ventures are probably one of the most effective ways in transferring skills to emerging consulting entities and therefore eagerly accepts the responsibility within a JV to successfully complete these projects to the benefit of the client but also to the emerging JV partner.
Although Project Management is often seen as a generalised activity based on years of experience GMH/CPP ensured their professional approach to this activity based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) approach.
Having a graduated Landscape Architect as part of the GMH/CPP team has enabled us to extend our services and offer these and related services to our Clients. We offer efficient services in landscape planning, landscape architecture and environmental planning and management with specific attention to the following:
- design, documentation and management of projects during the construction phase with the aim to finalise projects timeously and within the budget
- integrate conservation and development to the benefit of the environment, our Clients and the Community
