EPC IN POWER GENERATION<br />
Leaders in execution of turnkey engineering<br />
in <strong>South</strong> Africa<br />
Home-grown Lesedi Nuclear Services is a leading EPC (Engineering,<br />
Procurement and Construction) company with extensive experience<br />
in the execution of turnkey engineering projects, in both nuclear<br />
and conventional environments. It has operational footprints<br />
throughout the <strong>South</strong> <strong>African</strong> power industry.<br />
Having completed numerous projects,<br />
primarily at Eskom’s Koeberg Nuclear<br />
Power Plant, construction of the<br />
14X150MW Open Cycle Gas Turbine<br />
Power Plant in the Western Cape,<br />
and executing EPC contracts for the<br />
balance of plant systems for Eskom’s<br />
Medupi and Kusile Coal Power Plants<br />
- still under construction - Lesedi is<br />
well-placed to play a leading role in<br />
offering competitive EPC proposals<br />
to the country’s power infrastructure<br />
industry.<br />
Lesedi is now a Level Three B-BBEE<br />
(Empowering supplier) company<br />
and has registered *8EP, 9ME,<br />
7SF certification levels with the<br />
Construction Industry Development<br />
Board. The company’s main<br />
shareholder is global nuclear<br />
company, AREVA, with the remaining<br />
shares split between Group Five,<br />
the J&J Group and local Lesedi<br />
management. Since 2001, Lesedi<br />
Nuclear Services has provided a wide<br />
range of services to Koeberg Nuclear<br />
Power Station. Our major involvement<br />
has been in the supply of technical<br />
personnel for plant upgrades (150<br />
modifications), engineering, project<br />
management, procurement and<br />
maintenance.<br />
Lesedi has a number of key<br />
partnerships, one being our<br />
partnership with Exosun. Exosun<br />
is a worldwide leading supplier of<br />
advanced, cost-effective solar tracking<br />
solutions for ground-mounted<br />
photovoltaic (PV) plants.<br />
Since the partnership of Exosun<br />
and Lesedi took place in March<br />
2017, Lesedi has been focusing on<br />
optimising its local supply chain<br />
with a target of cost reduction and<br />
an increase in local content in order<br />
to benefit its clients and prospects.<br />
In parallel to the progress made on<br />
local manufacturing, Lesedi is also<br />
focusing on optimising logistics with<br />
local transporters and installation with<br />
our certified installers. Due to some<br />
uncertainty in the REIPPP in <strong>South</strong><br />
Africa, Lesedi is getting more involved<br />
in private projects, and also assessing<br />
a number of opportunities in SADC.<br />
