Electrical engineering · Johannesburg & project locations
PrEng-led field testing, engineering interpretation and earthing-design support for substations, mines, solar and BESS projects, industrial facilities and infrastructure across South Africa and selected Southern African locations.
Completed work includes Smart Schools, Sturrock Dry Dock, New Burgersfort Landfill and the Fungurume Electrification Project.
Core services
Start with defensible site data, then add the engineering scope your project actually needs. Testing, design, review and commissioning are quoted as clear work packages.
One accountable engineering workflow, with clearly defined outputs at every stage.
Four-terminal field testing at planned electrode spacings to provide the measurements needed for soil interpretation and earthing-system design.
Practical electrode arrangements informed by measured site conditions and the installation environment.
Independent checks of installed earth systems before handover or during periodic maintenance.
Defined engineering support around LV/MV distribution, substations and protection interfaces.
Built for project teams
The same technical capability is packaged differently depending on who is appointing Mshezi Projects.
01
Specialist field testing without taking over the client relationship. You retain design ownership and receive controlled engineering data.
Request subcontract support02
Agreed mobilisation dates, defined test lines and reporting that can feed procurement, construction and design decisions.
Submit project information03
Independent assessment of soil and installed earth systems, with assumptions and limitations made explicit.

Project applications
Field evidence
Test arrangements, recorded readings and the equipment used in our fieldwork.
A short on-site view of the instrument, leads and stake preparation. 9 seconds · No audio.
Delivery method
A documented workflow: submit project information, define the survey, mobilise, measure, review, report and decide on the next engineering step.
Confirm site, installation, access, test lines and deliverables.
Record spacing, direction, conditions and repeat readings.
Calculate apparent resistivity and establish design inputs.
Issue findings, assumptions, limitations and recommendations.
Standards-led engineering
Methods and standards are confirmed for the actual installation, client specification and design decision.
Testing and engineering methods are selected to suit the installation and client requirements. Applicable standards and current editions are confirmed at appointment, including IEEE, IEC and SANS requirements where relevant.
Why Mshezi Projects
Mshezi Projects combines field testing with more than two decades of electrical engineering and leadership experience across mining, energy, oil and gas, and industrial environments.
Clients engage a technically led business able to understand the measurement, challenge weak assumptions and connect findings to the wider electrical design.
Before you book
No. Soil resistivity describes soil behaviour and is expressed in Ω·m. Earth resistance is a measurement of an installed electrode or system in Ω. One test does not automatically replace the other.
No. The assessment may also require fault current, protection clearing time, bonding, touch and step voltages, and installation-specific requirements. A single resistance target is not a complete design basis.
Site location, layout, proposed equipment or structure, access restrictions, required deliverables and target date. If you do not know the test spacings or number of lines, say so: these need to be agreed as part of the scope.
The survey uses an identified instrument, a documented test arrangement and recorded field conditions. Include any instrument-calibration and traceability requirements in your brief so the supporting records can be reviewed before mobilisation.
Yes. Mshezi Projects completed soil-resistivity testing for the Fungurume Electrification Project under a subcontract awarded by Werkman DRC, the appointed main contractor. Agree interfaces, report ownership and deliverables before appointment.
Enquiries are welcomed for Johannesburg and other project locations. Travel, mobilisation, access and availability are confirmed in the quotation.
Read the project summaries and reporting guide, then request the supporting information relevant to your appointment. Client-specific records are shared with the appropriate permission.
Start with the site details
Start with a brief description. We will clarify the survey extent, access requirements and deliverables with you.
What happens next: we review your brief, clarify access and deliverables, then prepare a scoped quotation. Include your required site date so availability can be confirmed.
