There's nothing quite like being on site and connecting with the people who make our projects possible.

Our Top Management team recently visited the Moses Mabhida Stadium site, spending time with employees and subcontractors as they made their way across the project. These interactions are an important part of understanding the work being done, recognising the efforts of our teams, and strengthening the relationships that drive our success.

Thank you to everyone on site for your continued hard work and commitment.

18 years, countless milestones, and an inspiring journey of growth.

This month, we are celebrating Keegan Chettiar, our Senior Estimator, whose dedication and determination truly embody what it means to strive for excellence.

Keegan’s story with Southey Contracting is a powerful testament to where hard work and perseverance can take you. Over nearly two decades, his commitment has made a lasting impact across our business.

In 2024, Keegan brought his extensive industry knowledge, sharp expertise and trademark work ethic to our Head Office team as an Estimator—and his progression hasn't stopped since.

Thank you, Keegan, for 18 incredible years of pushing boundaries, delivering value and inspiring those around you. We are proud to have you on the team! 💼

Drop a 👏 in the comments to congratulate Keegan on his incredible journey and continued success!

Two million reasons to celebrate! 👷

We are incredibly proud to announce that our Cape Town (CPT) Division has officially reached a monumental safety milestone: 2 Million Man-Hours LTI Free.

In our industry, safety isn't just a policy, it’s a culture. Achieving 2,000,000 hours without a Lost Time Injury is a testament to the vigilance, discipline, and care every member of our CPT team brings to the site every single day.

To commemorate this achievement and keep the team protected as the seasons change, we’ve issued commemorative winter beanies to everyone in the division.

A huge thank you to our Cape Town team for proving that excellence and safety go hand-in-hand. Let's keep the momentum going!

They say there’s a first for everything!

While we’re usually on refineries or offshore platforms, we recently took our expertise to a more "monumental"scale: restoring the iconic giant propeller at the MSC Head Office in Durban.

This wasn't just a standard coating job. It was a precision project involving:

• Deep cleaning and profiling to prep the metal.
• Precision polishing to restore its original luster.
• High-performance coating to protect it from the Durban salt air.

Whether it’s heavy industry or a local maritime landmark, the Southey standard remains the same. A huge thank you to MSC for trusting us with this unique piece of shipping history! ⚒️
