About GEC

Registered engineering practice, with the software built in-house

Global Executive Consultants is a South African civil and structural engineering consultancy. Every deliverable carries the stamp of a registered Pr.Eng - and the platforms that monitor the work afterward are built by the same team.

From statutory CR11 structural compliance on wind turbine towers to dam safety intelligence, GEC's work is grounded in real project data, SANS-aligned practice, and ECSA professional accountability.

ECSA professional accountability
Deliverables signed by a registered Pr.Eng - legally binding and professionally insured.
CR11 wind-sector specialism
Statutory structural compliance for wind turbine towers, delivered at Garob Wind Farm.
Proprietary digital platforms
TowerSentry, Dam Safety Intelligence, and three more - built in-house, not bought off the shelf.

Sustainability

Engineering a greener South Africa

Structural compliance work extends wind farm operating life under the REIPPP programme; dam safety intelligence protects water security across ~5,710 registered dams. Where remote monitoring replaces site visits, the carbon footprint of infrastructure management falls with it.
