Providing quantity surveying services to protect the health and safety of communities and environments.
South Africa’s Department of Mineral Resources has established a major programme to close and rehabilitate more than 600 asbestos mines. The primary objective is to protect the health and safety of communities and environments at risk.

As engineering design lead and sub-contractor to global leader in minerals processing Mintek, SRK Consulting commissioned Turner & Townsend for pre- and post-contract quantity surveying services across the entire programme.
Pre-contract services include collaboration with engineers in each discipline to prepare re-measureable bills of quantities, detailed cost estimates and enquiry documentation. Post-contract services involve measurement of work in progress, forecasts, monthly cost reports, change management and contract administration services, and preparation of final accounts and close-out reports. So far we have provided quantity surveyor services for nine abandoned mines.
Making the difference
- Agile advice: bringing confidence to the programme by anticipating and responding to the unique challenges of each mine, applying our mining, health and safety and commercial expertise.
- Controlling costs: giving SRK control through advance planning and containment of costs, both throughout each project and the overall programme.
- Transparent and efficient service: providing cross-programme visibility with open communications and reporting and ability to respond to project needs 24/7.
Because of the inherent uncertainty associated with these sites, accurate quantity surveying and good understanding of the situation during the course of this rehabilitation is absolutely critical.
