At GIBB, complexity forms part of our DNA. As a company operating in a deeply complex society, we understand the many elements that influence successful project delivery. The more moving parts there are to a project, the more we revel in creating integrated solutions that are responsive to a demanding environment.
Our large footprint, combined with the vast expertise of our people and more than 65 years of experience in the power, mining, water, transport, industrial, project finance & development, property and petrochemicals & energy markets in Africa, provides us with a profound understanding of the opportunities and challenges presented by complex projects on the African continent.
Combined with our multi-disciplinary approach, we are the right partner for project delivery. Through our subsidiaries and affiliates, we also partner with project developers and owners to finance early-stage project development in the water sector, undertake joint development of renewable energy projects and provide life cycle services, such as asset management and operations & maintenance of infrastructure projects.
