YEARS OFEXCELLENCE

CELEBRATING ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE

South Africa is aptly called the Rainbow na�on — a term coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu a�er South Africa's first fully democra�c elec�on in 1994 — because of our diversity. In the 1990’s we all trusted that diversity would give impetus to res�tu�on, equality and growth.

Hailing from a disadvantaged background we exuberantly started our own company in 1999, driven by a belief that we would be regarded as equals among our peers, however, this in itself became our biggest challenge. The challenge of ge�ng clients to believe that we were equal to the task would take considerable �me to overcome.

Today, when I look back over the past twenty years, I am proud of what we've achieved — building a company with humility and perseverance. We did it by always se�ng out to exceed our clients’ expecta�ons, building respec�ul rela�onships with our peers and by sourcing the right exper�se to complement our own. Against all odds — despite an environment of s�fling procurement legisla�on, takeover bids from interna�onal companies, recessions and the fragmenta�on of the construc�on industry — Lyners has grown steadfastly into a sizeable, dynamic and diversified prac�ce.

We have never strived to be the biggest company, but rather to be the best in our day-to-day offerings. Our primary goal is to have sa�sfied clients and competent, dedicated and enthusias�c employees. Our mission is to remain CARING, INNOVATIVE and FOCUSSED in our quest to help eliminate poverty and reduce inequality in this beau�ful South Africa — the country that we love and call home.

Neil Lyners established Neil

Lyners & Associates

(RF) (Pty) Ltd (commonly

known as Lyners) in 1999

to provide mul�-disciplinary

consul�ng engineering and

project management services

in the built environment

sector. The company’s first

office was in Paarl. Lyners

moved its head office to

Tyger Waterfront in 2004, a

third office was opened in

George during 2014 and

recently established a fourth

office in Sutherland, falling

under the management of

the George office.

EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY &SERVICE ARE PART OF OUR DNA

CARING | INNOVATIVE | FOCUSSED

The shareholders, management and some of the Bellville and Paarl staff of Lyners

celebrated the company’s 20th Anniversary by having a social get-together and to

reminisce about the past 20 years. Lyners believes it will remain one of the brightest

stars among professions in the built environment for the next 20 years.

LYNERS IS A DYNAMIC & EXPANDING COMPANY

Lyners has twenty years’ experience in providing consul�ng and project management

services in the public and private sectors. Over the years the company has expanded into a

mul�-disciplinary engineering consultancy providing Civil-, Structural- and Electrical engineering

services. The company has worked with all �ers of government, as well as the private sector.

LYNERS SPECIALISES IN

Civil engineering

Roads and bridges

Structural engineering

Electrical and electronic engineering and renewable energy

Project and programme management

Lyners has worked on projects throughout the Western Cape, Southern Cape and

Northern Cape, as well as in the Republic of Chad and Lesotho.

Growth and diversifica�on created a synergy that has allowed Lyners to capitalise on a large pool of resources, exper�se, personnel and equipment. Today Lyners employs more than seventy professional engineers, technologists, technicians, and administra�ve and support personnel.

LYNERS HAS OFFICES IN THE NORTHERN-, WESTERN- AND SOUTHERN CAPE


VALUES & VISION

At Lyners we have always upheld a

strong set of core values. These values

include respect for clients,

sub-consultants, communi�es,

contractors and personnel and a belief

in professionalism, integrity and ethical

behaviour under all circumstances.

Openness, honesty, confiden�ality,

discre�on and excellence are all values

that form the bedrock of the

company’s value system.

We are commi�ed to exceeding our

clients’ expecta�ons for outstanding

service and sustainability. Our culture

of self-evalua�on, self-development

and post-contract reviews has allowed

us to not only stay relevant in our

industry, but also to become leaders in

our field.

In 2015 Lyners embarked on an extensive

restructuring programme that involved all

personnel. The goal was to reformulate

the company’s brand iden�ty, corporate

culture and to ar�culate our core values. In

order to do this we invited Dr Mar�e

Lancellas of the Strong Founda�on to audit

the whole company and to develop

leadership and personal-development

programmes for the company’s staff. Over

a six-month period we were able to

redefine Lyners’ core value, vision and

mission.

Our core value encapsulates the reason we

exist as a business. We believe that the

quality of rela�onships will make a

significant difference in people’s lives.

Our vision is to help people and our clients

to turn opportuni�es into reali�es, and to

do that in a way that is both extraordinary

and sustainable.

Our mission is to bring good things to life

by building rela�onships and by offering

competence, sound business principles

and excellent professional knowledge.

Core values direct behaviours and attitudes. Core values such as commitment, honesty, integrity, respect and trust are like the root system of a well-anchored tree. That which clients and colleagues experience, that which is visible, manifests as qualities such as courage, optimism, support, tenacity, maturity, humility, caring, fairness and the ability to listen.

WE OFFER CLIENTS SUPERIOR SERVICE, QUALITY WORKMANSHIP, WISDOM AND MATURITY, SUSTAINABILITY,

AND A HIGH STANDARD OF PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE.


EMPOWERMENT & MENTORSHIP

At Lyners empowerment means much

more than achieving the highest B-BBEE

level. We believe that we have a

significant role to play in bridging the

divisions created in the past. We are

commi�ed to crea�ng meaningful

opportuni�es for learners at school

who have the poten�al to become ac�ve

par�cipants in the engineering industry,

for students trying to complete their

engineering studies, and for all our current

employees, to become the best they can

within their poten�al. Lyners is therefore

commi�ed to black economic

empowerment and the development and

training of historically disadvantaged

individuals (HDIs).

THE COMPANY EARMARKS A SIZEABLE PROPORTION OF ITS PAYROLL FOR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING OF ALL PERSONNEL, AS WELL AS INTERNSHIPS AND BURSARIES FOR HDI STUDENTS.

Our mentorship programme for engineers, technologists and technicians is an integral part of our skills

development and training programme. The company has signed the Engineering Council of South Africa’s

(ECSA) “Commitment and Undertaking” and supports ECSA’s mentorship programme for the development of

young professional and technical staff in the engineering industry.

Today the majority of the company’s equity is vested with HDIs and more than a third of our

technical and professional staff members are HDIs. We are also commi�ed to increasing our

company’s representa�on of female technical and professional staff. We are commi�ed to

suppor�ng emerging businesses in the built environment sector and dedicate both �me and

resources to enterprise and supplier development.


QUALITY & EXCELLENCE

LYNERS RECEIVED THE 2017 CESA AON ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE AWARD IN THE CATEGORY FOR PROJECTS BETWEEN R50M AND R250M IN 2017 FOR WORK ON THE L’ORMARINS HYDRO PLANT.

CELEBRATING ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE

The civil and structural engineering construc�on was completed within budget and prior to the client’s deadline for

readiness. Lyners was appointed as consul�ng structural and civil engineers. This included the construc�on of two

turbine sta�ons and pipelines in an environmentally sensi�ve part of the Western Cape and in mountainous and

inaccessible areas to enable the genera�on of 2.3 MW of green electricity. Approximately 1 650 return helicopter

flights were undertaken during construc�on.

A small por�on of the mountain stream, up to 700ℓ/s, was abstracted to generate the electricity. The project required

the design and construc�on of a pipeline from a high and inaccessible part in the mountain to convey water at a

maximum flow rate of 700ℓ/s to the first turbine sta�on situated about 300 m below the intake point. A second pipeline

was constructed to convey water from the first turbine sta�on to a balancing dam or directly to a second turbine sta�on

situated a further 100 m lower than the first turbine sta�on. The design then directed the water back into the stream

below the turbine.
