When you partner with Southey Contracting, you aren’t just hiring a contractor. You are engaging the collective power of Southey Holdings.

As part of one of South Africa’s largest and most respected industrial services groups, we offer a level of stability and authority that few can match.

Being part of a diverse, well-established group means:
• National Reach: We have the infrastructure to support major projects in every corner of the country.
• Financial Stability: The backing of a massive organisation ensures we have the resources to deliver on high-value, long-term contracts.
• A Century of Knowledge: Decades of multi-disciplinary experience across the group are funnelled into every site we manage.

In a fluctuating economy, our clients choose us for the peace of mind that comes with a trusted, industrial giant. We’ve been here for decades, and we’re built to last for many more.

Reliability on a national scale. That’s the Southey standard.

The Southey name isn't just a brand. It’s a heritage of industrial excellence in South Africa.

For decades, we’ve built our reputation on three simple pillars: Reliability, Delivery, and Safety. But our greatest achievement isn't the projects we’ve completed—it’s the relationships we’ve maintained.

Our long-standing client relationships are built on years of consistent, deadline-driven delivery. That’s probably due in part by our proven track record by the partners who return to us for every major shutdown and expansion. And while technologies change, our core values of integrity and "Zero Harm" have remained constant for generations.

We don’t just show up for the job, we show up for the legacy. When you see the Southey name, you know you’re working with a partner who has stood the test of time.

Our rope access team successfully completed descending operations on the hanger cable at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, ensuring critical corrosion protection work was carried out safely and efficiently.

The process began with thorough degreasing and high-pressure washing to remove salts and surface contaminants. Mechanical surface preparation followed, eliminating all loose debris and corrosion (rust) to ensure a clean, stable substrate.

Once preparation was complete, the hanger cable was professionally wrapped to provide long-term protection and prevent future corrosion.

✅ The project was completed successfully, safeguarding the structural integrity and extending the service life of the hanger cable.

We don’t just view safety as something with a sign on the wall. It’s an active daily practice, even in the most extreme conditions.

During our recent site shutdown, our team faced grueling temperatures exceeding 40°C. To ensure everyone remained focused and hydrated, we held a "Pause and Reflect" session with all 140 employees. This wasn't just a break. It was a collective commitment to accountability and care for one another.

As a result, and despite the challenging environmental pressures, the team achieved zero injuries.

To recognize this incredible commitment to a Zero Harm culture, our site leadership issued Powerade, chocolates, and chips to the team, a small token of appreciation for a massive achievement in safety.

Leadership means showing up for your team when the heat is on. When we prioritize people over the pace of work, everyone goes home safe. 🤝
