PROJECT MANAGEMENT
& SHUTDOWN SERVICES
At DGC AFRICA, we understand that every industrial shutdown or capital project is more than just a maintenance window, it’s a decisive opportunity to enhance reliability, safety, and long-term asset performance.
For over a century, our teams have supported Africa’s leading industrial operators in mining, metals, and manufacturing to execute complex projects safely, efficiently, and profitably.
Our approach combines engineering precision, commercial discipline, and hands-on field expertise to deliver measurable results, shorter shutdowns, predictable outcomes, and reduced total lifecycle costs.

A SMARTER WAY
TO MANAGE
INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS
Industrial shutdowns are inherently high-stakes, with multiple contractors, tight deadlines, and intense budget pressure. DGC AFRICA’s integrated model removes friction between engineering, finance, and execution by managing the entire lifecycle under one accountable team.
We bring together:
-
Project Management & Coordination – planning, scheduling, and multi-discipline oversight.
-
Quantity Surveying & Cost Control – financial clarity and governance across every stage.
-
Shutdown Execution – skilled teams delivering on time, on budget, and to specification.
This holistic approach means our clients gain both operational confidence and commercial transparency, ensuring every project outcome strengthens their reputation and bottom line.
