Omnibus Engineering cc

OMNIBUS ENGINEERING cc is a young business that was established in 2003, shortly after the World Summit for Sustainable Development - Johannesburg. The firm was born out of a merger of specific expertise from three other companies, which have been in the related industry for over ten years. The members and associates have been involved in development work in Africa for many years. By combining forces, the firm is well set to fill the market demand of sustainable alternative services solutions to the African communities. Through much research and development the firm offers a one-stop-shop for design, construction and maintenance of its projects throughout Africa. A range of products, carefully selected, tested and altered for African conditions where needed, completes the pallet of services offered. Projects range from very small sales to multi million infrastructure projects in the built environment. Most projects involve the communities in the design, construction, maintenance and operation phases. This secures not only vital new services, but also new long-term local jobs and financial benefits.  The quality involvement of our staff and partners is secured not only through training and long standing relationships, but also through a profit sharing system.  The phenomenal growth of the firm shows the demand for its services and the commitment of quality to its clients. OMNIBUS will continue producing appropriate design and environmental management solutions in order to contribute to a high quality of living without depriving future generations. Currently the company has premises in Hartbeespoort (South Africa) and associates in Brazzaville (Congo), Maputo (Mozambique), Kigali (Rwanda), Burundi, Namibia, Nigeria, Ghana, Botswana, Madagascar and South Africa. Our international and local partners include:
African Energy (USA), Solar Fabrik (Germany), Steca (Germany), SMA regelsysteme (Germany), Grundfos (Denmark), SUNDA (China), SUNPU (China), XStream (SA), EuroDrain (SA), Prof Dr D Holm (SA) to name but a few.

OUR APPROACH: OMNIBUS ENGINEERING cc approaches all clients and projects in a totally integrated way by promoting the overall goal of sustainability. The one-stop-service-shop is ensured through our believe in networking with other companies and professionals. We do and encourage in-house and external training of not only our own staff, but also our partners and end-user clients. Our work and projects are non-polluting and operate in stable harmony with the earth’s physical and ecological systems, create jobs and new opportunities out of expenditures that previously had gone to purchase non-fitting import solutions. Our service excels through finding appropriate tailor made solutions for each individual client. Our projects are distinguished by knowledge and understanding of the environment and the people it serves. The projects’ cradle to grave life cycle is calculated and controlled in advance. Our partners are superior by being well informed and trained professionals with a sense of value and integrity. An understanding of local conditions is an absolute minimum requirement.
