Critical projects back on track

It has been widely reported that South Africa’s construction industry has been eager to return to work after construction across the country came to a halt in accordance with government restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic. While ‘critical public works construction’ was still allowed under pandemic alert level five, ‘other public works civil engineering projects’ have been permitted under level four. 

Under level four, the ICON Group was able to return to work on sites deemed as ‘critical infrastructure’ development. “We understand that the disruptions to our work schedule were absolutely necessary in the face of the pandemic, and we have ensured strict compliance in alignment with the mandated regulations and directives,” comments Wayne Neary, ICON Group MD.
