Construction and Engineering Awards 2020

BUILD Construction & Engineering Awards 2020 84 s a highly regarded name in the landscaping industry, Kabrioah Irrigation Pty Ltd have focused on providing a range of professional services to their clients since inception. To start, Simone provides us with a brief overview of the firm and offers more insight into its typical clientele. “The name Kabrioah comes from the letters of the names of our children, KA- Kaylee, BR- Gabriel, IO- Cairo, AHZedekiah. Naturally, we have engaged a market, that has been monopolised by traditional corporate giants with huge financial muscle which we lacked. “In the absence of government or private funding assistance, the market proved to be hostile and unwelcoming to a new brand/contractor in irrigation and landscaping installations. The decision was hence made to offer A to Z complete water solutions through irrigation design and installation, borehole drilling and water filtration systems (Reverse Osmosis). “Based upon our mission statement ‘Your Garden, Your Identity & Your Signature’, we are committed to offering affordable bespoke optimized water solutions. Some of our recent clients include Stefanutti Stocks, Cresslawn Primary School and Parcel Ninja and a private homeowner of South African Airways.” In today’s construction and engineering world gaining a competitive edge on your closest rivals can be crucial in an effort to win contracts. Moreover, as Simone goes on to explain, customer satisfaction plays a huge role in the firm’s client approach. “As a company, we aim to give the client what they require and at a budget they are happy with. Like our mission statement says, ‘Your Garden, Your Identity and Your Signature’, our clients are the ones who have to be happy with the view and design of the landscaping and they need to be happy that the irrigation system has no dry spots and the water coverage is optimised. In addition, they need to be impressed with the design and installation of the borehole pump station as in some estates if these are not compliant with the Home Owners Association Rules, such structures can be removed forcefully and at the cost to our clients.” Best Irrigation & Landscaping Contractors - Gauteng Established by Norbert and Simone Pong, Kabrioah Irrigation Pty Ltd is a leading irrigation and landscaping contractor who have been working across Gauteng since 2016. Following their success in the Construction & Engineering Awards 2020, we got in touch with Simone to find out more. A Aug20449 Recently, the firm assessed the irrigation system at Royal Reef Estate (Property Developer based in Boksburg), and as Simone is keen to highlight, to save the client money the team offered an alternative solution to redoing the 76-zone manual irrigation system. “After an initial assessment, we discovered it was under strain due to extremely high pressure and a very poor irrigation design and installation, with multiple leaks and damaged sprayers the estate had focused on surface repairs. To upgrade the system, we proposed emergency valves spanning over 800 square metres to throttle and reduce the flow rate respectively to each zone thus balancing out the volume to the respective zones points. Thanks to our correct diagnosis the trustees at Royal Reef Estate were very happy.” In South Africa, the demand for the supply and availability of clean water has resulted in a spike in the pricing and cost of water services and Kabrioah have felt the impact of this in recent times. “As of March 2020, once again the high demand for clean water in schools/education, hotel & accommodation, and the mining sector, meant we saw a direct impact on the services we provide. In response, we are in constant communication with various regulatory bodies for the latest projections that would impact our sector.” Finally, Simone commented on the future of the business and offered more insight into one or two plans that are in place. “It is our endeavour to continue bi-lateral relationships by liaising with the private and public sector in order to meet the demands of our clients. In addition to our existing services we are starting to introduce Gabion installations i.e dam wall design construction, barrier walls, retainer walls, and general landscaping imagery. This authentic natural rock finish has hugely impressed in the South African market and has hence become our newly featured primary roll out.” Company: Kabrioah Irrigation Pty Ltd Contact: Simone Pong Phone: 073 528 4833 Email: [email protected] Web: www.kabrioahirrigation.co.za
