core services

At PRODEO, we believe we redefine the landscape of process plant design and delivery. Drawing from the wealth of our experience in Africa, we add value to everything we do, whether we are involved in straightforward stay-in-business work or complex multi-disciplinary projects. To our clients, this means that excellence is our only standard, regardless of what projects we undertake or where we perform them.

• Our collaborative approach means we adopt broad perspectives when executing or reviewing a study or project.
• Collaboration facilitates better decision-making early on in projects. This collaboration ensures that more time is available for directing at high-value areas.
• We strive to provide the right information to make informed decisions and align with our client's corporate goals and values.
• From inception to completion, we guide our clients through the intricate stages of scoping, pre-feasibility, definitive level studies, and the critical bankable studies crucial for project financing.
• Our study work, characterised by innovative design concepts, has seen projects transitioning seamlessly from planning to construction and successful operation.

• When operations cannot be interrupted, and the stakes cannot be higher, PRODEO is an unwavering partner in executing stay-in-business projects.
• We understand that these critical projects demand a unique blend of expertise.
• Our purpose-driven approach hinges on delivering solutions that maintain operational continuity while enhancing efficiency and safety.
• Effective communication and collaboration with clients' teams ensures a smooth alignment of objectives and minimises disruption.
• Regardless of whether we are helping to optimise processes, ensure compliance, or enhance safety measures, our solutions are simultaneously practical and innovative.

• What sets us apart is our access to a highly skilled team of on-site construction experts.
• This team includes seasoned project managers, engineers, and technicians who have years of experience working in Africa’s unique environments. They bring:
  - Deep knowledge of local regulations and compliance requirements.
  - Expertise in risk assessment and mitigation strategies tailored to the region.
  - Exceptional problem-solving skills, ensuring minimal delays and cost overruns.
• Our on-site teams work collaboratively with local stakeholders, ensuring that projects are executed efficiently and with respect for the local communities and environments.

• In the construction management sphere, we coordinate all site activities.
• We issue instructions to contractors.
