About Metsi Projects (Pty) Ltd
Metsi Projects (Pty) Ltd evolved from Turbo Projects cc, a company originally specialising in the supply and installation of large pumping plant and other rotating machinery, which was established in 1980. Metsi Projects is a well-respected contracting company, having completed many pumping and water purification plants over the past 36 years, as well as the maintenance and refurbishment of plant in the water treatment industry.
Metsi Projects is committed to the promotion of Black Economic Empowerment and is currently a Level Four B-BBEE Contributor.
Our Achievements
Our strength can be attributed to our vast experience and to the fact that we are not connected to specific equipment suppliers. We are therefore in a position to offer our Clients the best technical and commercial solutions. Metsi Projects has a CIDB 8ME grading, with 3 staff members holding Professional Status with the Engineering Council of South Africa. We are therefore in a position to offer our services for all contract values.
Our Clients
Our clients include Public Bodies such as The Department of Water Affairs, Water Boards, Municipalities, Eskom, Atomic Energy Corporation, Mining Houses and Private Companies. Considerable work has been carried out in remote and rural areas throughout South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho and Zambia.

Metsi Projects is a design, procurement and management company and as such does not manufacture any equipment, nor do we employ specialist Quality Assurance Engineers, as each Project Manager is responsible for the quality assurance procedures that are carried out. In line with our Quality Policy, orders are placed with reputable companies who generally comply with the requirements of ISO 9001. Additionally we provide our suppliers with Quality Control Plans, where we specify the Client’s and our own requirements.
Metsi is committed to constant improvement and in order to ensure high quality products and services, we are at present working towards a system in line with the ISO 9001 Quality Management System.
It is of vital importance that accurate drawings are produced which will ensure successful projects. To ensure high standards, our mechanical layout and manufacturing drawings are produced in-house on AutoCAD® drawing software. This enables us to overlay mechanical equipment drawings onto drawings received by us in electronic format and we easily produce concept or "as-built drawings" for submission to Clients or Engineers.

Below are some projects we have done over the years.
