Delivering emissions reduction in complex industrial environments requires more than engineering - it demands precision, planning and partnership.

Babcock has successfully completed a low-NOx burner retrofit project at a major South African petrochemical facility, supporting compliance with Minimum Emission Standards and helping to improve environmental performance.

Delivered within a planned outage window and achieving 141 consecutive LTI-free days, the project demonstrates our ability to execute technically complex retrofit projects safely, efficiently and at scale.

From maintenance and upgrades to performance and environmental improvements, Babcock continues to support customers across the lifecycle of their critical infrastructure.

Your truck is generating valuable information every kilometre it travels. Are you using it? 🚛📊

Fuel consumption. Driver behaviour. Routes. Maintenance. Uptime.

When that data is connected and put to work, it can help fleet operators spot inefficiencies, reduce costs, support drivers and keep trucks moving.

Mark Gavin, Sales Director: DAF Trucks at Babcock, explores why data is becoming one of a modern truck fleet’s most valuable assets – and how connectivity is helping transform the way fleets are managed.

Every decision leaves a footprint.
Not just the big ones.
The everyday decisions.

How we use resources. How we manage waste. How we plan our work. How we protect the environment around us.

For Thamuso, Environmental Practitioner at Babcock in Africa, sustainability isn't something that belongs to one department - it's something every one of us contributes to.

Her passion is helping people see that protecting the environment starts long before legislation or compliance. It starts with awareness, responsibility and the choices we make every day.

This Women's Month, we're proud to celebrate the women whose expertise is helping build a more sustainable future for our business, our customers and the communities we serve.

Two milestones. One long-standing partnership.

Babcock recently handed over Precision Opencast Mining Services (POMS) 350th Volvo Articulated Hauler - a significant milestone in the growth of its mining fleet.

The handover also marked an important milestone for Babcock: the delivery of our 5,000th Volvo Articulated Hauler since introducing Volvo Construction Equipment to Southern Africa.

Behind those numbers is a story of long-term customer relationships, proven equipment performance and the support that keeps machines working productively throughout their operating life.

Congratulations to the POMS team, Volvo Construction Equipment and our Babcock colleagues who have played a part in reaching this milestone.

What happens when decades of engineering knowledge walk out the door?

Every experienced engineer, artisan and technician carries years of practical knowledge that can't be found in manuals or textbooks.

As more experienced professionals approach retirement, ensuring that knowledge is passed on has become one of the biggest challenges facing industry.

In this article, Welma Prinsloo, Managing Director of Engineering at Babcock Africa, explores why knowledge transfer is essential to developing the next generation of engineering talent.

Someone believed in you.
Think about that for a moment.

Behind every engineer, artisan, technician and leader is someone who took the time to teach, encourage and open a door.

For Kathryn, Head of Learning and Development at Babcock in Africa, that's the most rewarding part of her role. Helping people discover what they're capable of, build confidence and grow into the next stage of their careers.

This Women's Month, we're celebrating the people who don't just build projects - they help build people. Because when we invest in people, we invest in the future of our business and the future of industry.

For generations, Babcock has supported KwaZulu-Natal's pulp, paper and sugar industries through the supply, maintenance and refurbishment of critical boiler infrastructure.

Today, many of these facilities continue to operate ageing assets that require specialist engineering knowledge, OEM expertise and responsive technical support to maintain reliability and performance.

With the re-establishment of our Pinetown office, we are strengthening our presence in the region and improving access to local engineering support, maintenance expertise and technical collaboration.

Our commitment remains the same: helping customers maximise asset life, improve operational performance and support the industries that continue to drive economic growth and employment across KwaZulu-Natal.
