Adjective
Having or showing great knowledge or learning as a result of formal qualifications, decades of practical experience on the African continent and moreover, understanding what it takes to deliver in a challenging environment.
Our people deserve it, our clients rely on it and our performance depends on it.
We strive to constantly improve the awareness and implementation of safe working environments at all levels of the projects and organisations that we are associated with.
Safety should not be driven by the need to be compliant, but rather by the drive to always do the right things to ensure the desired outcome is achieved.
AFRICA
54 Different Countries
“Understanding Africa means understanding it’s differences”
International mining companies, both in Australia and Canada, have warmly received our offering of African support as part of, or an extension of owner’s teams. Our successful track record in the delivery of multiple projects across the continent places us in an enviable position relative to the competition. We are able to support mining companies in all facets of their projects on the continent from Localisation, Legal requirements, through geology and every engineering discipline to construction management.
Beyond South Africa, the Erudite team has the understanding that Africa is not a single continent with a single set of rules, but rather 54 different countries – each with its own set of requirements, languages, cultures, legislation and history. Our deep understanding of the unique challenges in each country significantly reduces project development risk.
