Independent engineering and scientific consultancy SRK Consulting South Africa was recognised as a top five company in South Africa’s consulting engineering, mining and infrastructure segment in the recent Top 500 Companies Awards.

The awards survey over 3 000 businesses and honour those that excel in their sectors in terms of best practice standards and implementing strong social, empowerment and development policies.

Conducted by business-to-business publishing house Topco Media and the University of Cape Town’s Development Policy Research Unit, the survey singled out the five top firms in each of 100 different economic segments.

The top 500 companies currently have a collective turnover of R3.5-trillion.
SRK MD Vis Reddy enthuses that “being ranked so highly among peers is gratifying and humbling”.

“We are certainly known as innovators and perfectionists in our efforts to create value for our clients’ businesses, and we work hard to stay at the cutting edge of what is an increasingly competitive and demanding field,” he states.

Further, Reddy remarks that it is also vital that businesses promote equity and social transformation; therefore, it is fitting that is recognised in the adjudication.
The Top 500 Awards consider employment profiles and diversity in management and control, as well as commitment to corporate social investment, employment equity and skills development.

As an independent network of consulting engineers and scientists, SRK is owned and managed by its staff and invests significantly in “fostering talent in a culture of excellence”.

Reddy comments that the growing social, environmental, financial and legal pressures on industry have over the decades motivated SRK to broaden its expertise from its traditional mining base into fields including civil engineering and infrastructure; water and waste; environmental management, social impact and governance; and the energy sector, including renewables.

“The SRK approach is to integrate all aspects of project success to optimise opportunities and manage risk,” he concludes.
