Who we are
Engineering infrastructure that shapes communities.
Urban Infrastructure Projects Africa is a Harare-based civil and structural engineering consultancy with a legacy of delivery across property, public infrastructure, mining and energy.
We engineer more than drawings and specifications. We engineer assets that perform through seasonal rainfall, demanding traffic loads, and the materials market that actually exists on the ground.
