Structural and Civil Engineering Consultants since 1996 . . .
EMOS Close Corporation, based in Pretoria (or Tshwane), South Africa, is an independent Consulting Engineering practice founded by Pieter Swanepoel, a Professional Engineering Technologist.
Our consulting services are focused on the Structural and Civil Engineering disciplines. We not only operate in and around Pretoria/Johannesburg, but over the whole of Southern Africa. We would even be willing to travel abroad – distance has never been a barrier to practical, cost effective engineering solutions.
Pieter has been involved in Structural and Civil Engineering since 1979, mainly in
private practice where he was actively involved in most of the functions typically
encountered in a consulting engineering practice. Prior to that he followed a career in
Architectural practices for 8 years. A combination of his extensive experience and artistic
talents equipped him with a sensitive flair for architectural features and requirements
with regard to aesthetic appearance and functionality. His qualification is internationally
recognised as governed by the Sydney Accord. This allowed him to work and gain
experience in New Zealand during 2006. (Click here to read more about the Sydney
Accord and Engineering Technologist Mobility Forum).
Pieter is registered with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) and is member
of both the South African Institution of Civil Engineering (SAICE) and Institute of
Professional Engineering Technologists (IPET). Continued professional development ensures that he stays in touch with the latest trends in his industry.

Projects We Have Completed To Date
Since establishment in 1996, EMOS has executed a wide range of projects all over Southern Africa with expertise to ensure compliance with relevant standards laid down by local authorities.
Projects completed to date consist of:
● Entire Reinforced Concrete
Structures, Structural Steel and/or Load-

On most of the projects EMOS works in close association with Architects who, like all good architects, take pride in the uniqueness of their designs. The complexity of these buildings often presents demanding structural design challenges but our aim is always to meet the aesthetic, functional and economic considerations.
In the case of structural projects, we are generally responsible for the entire structural system of the project, but in some cases our involvement is only required on individual elements, which could be foundations, concrete slabs, concrete or steel beams, roofs, columns or retaining walls. Various structural systems and/or construction materials appropriate to project requirements, are often utilised, i.e. concrete, steel, timber, structural glass, etc..
Optimum design is ensured by applying latest technology modelling and analysis computer
software. The internet, CAD -
EMOS’ reputation is built on dedication and innovative, practical solutions that speak for themselves. Scores of satisfied Clients all over Southern Africa provide proof that EMOS is truly
committed to an improved quality of life for all.

We Design Building Structures That Are Guaranteed To Be Safe And Reliable Yet At A Limited Fee!
If we’re not mistaken, you would prefer to appoint a Structural Consultant who’s work results in a Safe and Reliable end product and in addition to that, caters for those Architectural Features you paid for dearly!
Allow us to tell you why we believe that We can provide you with the service you require:
Since establishment in 1996, EMOS has never had any failures due to shortcomings in Structural Design. Nevertheless, we will accept full responsibility in this regard for the ENTIRE STRUCTURAL SYSTEM* of your project for a period of 10 years after completion – Yes, We Take The Risk!
We take delight in designing the backbone of complex, intricate Architectural
features that others won’t touch. We join the design of your house or building
with safe and reliable structural integrity. Therefore, your dreams can now be
realised!
We commit ourselves to never charge you more than the Guideline Scope of Fees as published annually by the Engineering Council of South Africa. In addition to that, we promise to do everything we can to engineer the end product to fulfil your project requirements. It is therefore safe to say you can determine beforehand how much you will need to pay us and what the end product will look like. That already removes a lot of uncertainty at concept stage of your project.
