Challenges

With a new century bringing new opportunities to Africa, HHO Africa has been restructured to meet the challenges that lie ahead for the continent. The need to build infrastructure has been identified as one of the primary requirements for the development of the continent and its peoples. HHO Africa understands the needs, the environment and has the skills and local knowledge to plan and design appropriate and innovative infrastructure.

Roots & Achievements

In 1926 our first consulting engineering office was opened in South Africa. For over 75 years HHO Africa has been contributing to the infrastructural development in both rural and urban regions of Southern Africa. HHO Africa has been acknowledged for their excellence in planning and design through numerous awards for technical excellence, innovation and environmental sensitivity.

HHO Africa has been a major contributor to water projects that have brought potable water to urban and rural communities, thereby providing a radical improvement in public health. Similarly key highways, airports and rail links have enabled HHO Africa to be part of the creation of modern communication network providing access to markets for people, goods and services.

Our People

With our motivated, versatile professional engineers, technologists, planners and technicians, we aim to meet the needs of our clients and to help them build the infrastructure that will improve the quality of life of all who benefit from their projects. At the same time we are committed to the development of our own people through in-house training, bursaries for tertiary education and mentorship.

Ownership

For more than 30 years HHO Africa has been an equal opportunity employer and today more than 50% of our staff come from the previously disadvantaged communities. Today HHO Africa represents a transforming consulting engineering practice with a 30% black equity ownership. This black ownership has been achieved through a systematic skills transfer programme involving building each individual's capacity through training, mentoring, supporting and finally promoting our staff.
