Civil & Structural Engineering
Engineering Practical Solutions for Architects, Planners and Developers
Traffic
Traffic engineering and transport studies is a deep specialty of ours. A Masters in Transportation Engineering qualifies Justin to conduct traffic impact statements for small developments, and traffic impact assessments for large developments. We also conduct parking studies and street-parking plans, as well as transit-oriented-development planning related to BRT and Rail - including land-value capture strategies.
Stormwater
Stormwater Management Plans do not have to be complicated. We ensure that your site development plan complies with local authority stormwater by-laws and policies. We investigate, assess, model pre-development versus post-development flows, and design mitigation measures of runoff events in-line with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) methodology and using the latest Hydraulic calculation methods.
Structural
We make sure your structure will be fit-for-purpose, elegant and efficient. We design, calculate sizes and details of raft foundations, retaining walls, reinforced concrete slabs and beams, steel structures, and roof trusses for small and medium-sized structures in line with SANS10400 and NHBRC requirements. Call us out for an assessment of cracks in existing structures before sale for seller or buyer - or for mitigation recommendations.
Advisory
I've built digital products and strategies for startups - grew a large userbase on mobile and delivered new revenue models - by leveraging innovative tech applications, partner development and venture fund-raising. Innovation is a methodology and a discipline - and it can be taught. I'm now sharing my methods with others. I write, speak, blog and Youtube about Disruptive Thinking - running workshops, doing 1-on-1s and speaking at events on Entrepreneurship...

As a practicing Civil Engineer, a lot of my day is spent either answering questions regarding concrete or soil tests, or paving conditions and traffic circulation layouts. However, engineering is moving into the digital age and engineering solutions require software code - especially with the proliferation of smartphones in recent years.
