MOZISA energy project; Cities resilience study and Sustainable management of social impacts relating to Dams. The Dams project addressed involuntary resettlement at early stages of infrastructure development as well as post resettlement scenarios upon completion of a project. The ASPIRE approach enables GIBB to deliver of projects that take cognisance of economic, social and environmental benefits and provides for high integrity engineering design.

“It is clear that in order to ensure sustainability principles are applied to large infrastructure projects, expertise and experience is required in the project teams. GIBB has the tools to facilitate these conversations and experienced team members that can add value, through developing and tracking project sustainability reports.Integrating sustainability principles into our infrastructure and other projects will certainly leave a lasting legacy”, says Dr Govender.
