Civil Works Services
Engineering resilient infrastructure to empower South Africa’s communities and drive sustainable progress.
Lenkosi Civil Works
In South Africa, infrastructure challenges undermine economic and social progress. Over 19% of rural communities lack reliable water access, 33% are without adequate sanitation, and flooding causes over R1.5 billion in annual damages due to outdated drainage systems. These issues disrupt public health, education, and sustainable development, particularly in underserved regions.
Lenkosi Civil and Construction, a proud subsidiary of the Lenkosi Group of Companies, is dedicated to addressing these challenges through innovative civil works solutions. Since 2019, we have delivered durable, efficient infrastructure that enhances water security, improves sanitation, and builds resilience against environmental risks. By combining advanced engineering, sustainable practices, and community-focused designs, we create lasting change that supports South Africa’s long-term prosperity.
Pipe Laying
Underground pipelines form the backbone of modern infrastructure, yet South Africa loses approximately 37% of its potable water to leaks from aging or poorly installed systems. This inefficiency strains resources, increases costs, and limits access to clean water, particularly in rural and peri-urban areas.
Lenkosi Civil and Construction delivers precision-engineered pipe laying services for water, sewage, and utility networks. Utilizing advanced trenching technologies, corrosion-resistant materials, and real-time monitoring systems, we ensure leak-proof, durable pipelines that withstand environmental pressures. Our projects, such as the 120km water pipeline in Limpopo, have connected over 15,000 households to reliable water sources, reducing water loss by 25%. By partnering with municipalities and private clients, we tailor solutions that enhance connectivity, minimize waste, and support sustainable development.
Water Supply
Reliable water access is critical for health, agriculture, and economic stability, yet 9% of South Africans still depend on contaminated water sources. Climate-induced droughts and aging infrastructure further exacerbate water scarcity, threatening over 2 million households and countless businesses annually.
Lenkosi Civil and Construction designs and constructs advanced water supply systems, including pipelines, pump stations, and distribution networks, tailored to urban and rural needs. Our projects incorporate smart metering and eco-friendly technologies to optimize water flow and reduce waste. For example, our Gauteng water supply network serves 50,000 residents with a 98% uptime, improving public health and supporting local industries. By integrating sustainable engineering and stakeholder collaboration, we ensure water security and drive socio-economic progress across South Africa.
Drainage
Poor drainage systems exacerbate flooding and erosion, costing South Africa over R1.5 billion annually in infrastructure damage and economic losses. With climate change intensifying extreme weather events, ineffective drainage threatens urban development, rural livelihoods, and public safety across the nation.
Lenkosi Civil and Construction delivers robust drainage solutions, including culverts, stormwater channels, and retention basins, engineered to manage high water volumes and prevent environmental damage. Our KwaZulu-Natal drainage project reduced flood-related damages by 40% in local communities, protecting homes and businesses. Using 3D modeling and eco-conscious designs, we ensure our systems are resilient, sustainable, and aligned with local needs, safeguarding South Africa’s infrastructure for generations.
Reservoir Construction
Effective water storage is vital in a country facing frequent droughts and uneven rainfall. South Africa’s reservoirs, many operating below 50% capacity, struggle to meet growing demand, leaving communities, agriculture, and industries vulnerable to shortages that disrupt daily life and economic productivity.
Lenkosi Civil and Construction specializes in building high-capacity water reservoirs, from community-scale tanks to regional facilities, using advanced materials and seismic-resistant designs. Our Eastern Cape reservoir project, with a 10-million-liter capacity, now supports 30,000 residents and local farmers, boosting agricultural output by 15%. By employing innovative construction techniques and rigorous quality controls, we deliver reservoirs that ensure water security, enhance resilience, and meet South Africa’s evolving needs.
Our Impact
Since 2019, Lenkosi Civil and Construction’s civil works services have transformed South Africa’s infrastructure landscape, delivering over 80 projects that provide water access, sanitation, and flood protection to more than 500,000 people. Our pipe laying and water supply initiatives have reduced water loss by an average of 20% across serviced regions, saving millions of liters annually.
Our drainage and reservoir projects have mitigated flood risks for over 100,000 households and supported agricultural productivity for 10,000 farmers. By employing 300 skilled workers and investing in community programs, such as water conservation workshops and youth training, we’ve fostered economic empowerment and environmental stewardship. As part of the Lenkosi Group, our civil works continue to drive sustainable progress and resilience nationwide.
