Specialised Civil & Marine Works

Science tells you what to build; someone still has to build it. This is where Tectonians put on harnesses, wetsuits and welding masks — in-water works, dam and powerhouse maintenance, industrial surface protection and power line construction.

What we deliver

Marine + in-water works

  • Assembly, anchoring, tensioning and commissioning of floating debris barriers
  • Professional diving for underwater inspection, sampling and repair
  • Over-water working platforms, pontoons and anchoring engineering
  • Intake and trash-rack cleaning

Dam + powerhouse maintenance

  • High-pressure jetting of relief drains with pre and post flow verification
  • Chemical and cement grouting, drilling and injection works
  • Remedial concrete works and structural repair
  • Long-term monitoring of dam civil structures

Industrial coatings

  • Surface preparation to specified cleanliness standards
  • Multi-stage epoxy coating of powerhouse floors, control buildings and steel
  • DFT, adhesion and environmental quality control
  • Waste management and site restoration

Transmission lines + substations

  • Route survey, feasibility study and design support
  • Excavation and tower foundation works
  • Tower assembly and erection, monopoles and lattice towers
  • Conductor and OPGW stringing to client QA/QC and EHS programmes
  • Substation civil works and earthworks

Structural preservation + NDT

  • Impulse radar, ultrasonic pulse-echo and impact-echo testing
  • Potential field measurement and rebound hammer survey
  • Pile Integrity Testing (PIT), pile reflection and plate load testing
  • Concrete core extraction and in-situ testing
  • Crack, vibration and strain monitoring; preservation of evidence

Other mission areas

Most projects draw on more than one mission area. Tell us the structure and the site and we will assemble the right combination.

We make it happen

We read the ground. We de-risk the build.

From dam foundations on the Nile to transmission lines across the Great Lakes, our crews turn Africa's toughest sites into certainty you can build on.
