Design and Construct solution takes 80 % to 90 % of the risk and project management away from the implementing agent . With Enza playing the role of developer , turnkey design and build contractor , they are committed to making the entire process as seamless as possible .
Tractionel Enterprise Tractionel Enterprise , one of the leading electrical construction companies in South Africa , was a strategic acquisition for Enza in 2021 . Tractionel Enterprise specialises in Electrical Infrastructure Projects , with a focus on both railway and power solutions . The acquisition of Tractionel Enterprise fits into Enza Construction ’ s strategic decision to shift its focus from being purely a construction service provider to also being known as a provider of infrastructure solutions .
The acquisition allows Enza to play a larger role in the rollout of renewable power solutions projects that are expected to gather even more momentum once the new Energy Security Bill before Parliament is passed . This is aligned to the Government ’ s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme ( REIPPP ). With the ability to provide both civil and electrical infrastructure on renewable energy projects , Enza is able to offer a more turnkey solution to clients in the sector .
