At IPES we believe people don’t buy what we do: they buy why we do it. Founded more than thirty years ago and long established as a leading Consultancy in Africa’s Energy, Mining and Petrochemicals markets, IPES is also a participant in some of the most innovative Urban Development projects in Africa. Amongst our client portfolio, we are proud to have been chosen to work regularly with prestigious international clients including ACSA, Sasol, Discovery, VGI, MegChem, Engen, Aveng, Energas and EPCM: providing high quality independent consultancy services through a team of highly skilled engineers with unrivalled industry experience. We aim to deliver innovative and cost effective turnkey solutions that are tailor made to meet the specific project requirements of or clients and we’ve become highly effective in accomplishing this no matter how challenging or fast moving the day-to-day demands of the project might be. Our Electrical Engineering assignments are usually focused on low and medium voltage fields, MV and LV supply and distribution systems and MV substation projects as well as power factor correction tasks, but we are regularly engaged also to work on overhead power lines as well as, in a different context, office peripherals and UPS systems. Instrumentation is also a specialty: working on flow, pressure and temperature calculation and monitoring across a full spectrum of liquids and gases; valve sizing; orifice plate calculations; safety integrity level calculations; hazardous area classification and intrinsic safe loop design. We also work on control and communication systems, including Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), radio based telemetry networks, industrial satellite systems and remote terminal unit layout and design. And we bring the same level of professionalism to our Maintenance and Construction Management projects: always ensuring completion on time, within budget and meticulously to specification.
