- André Burger realised from the start that a Consulting Engineer, wanting to operate in the countryside (“platteland”) environment, has to be able to handle both Civil and Structural Projects. At Technicon André Burger specialised in Civil and Transport Engineering and at University he specialised in Structural Engineering. It also come in handy when designing Packing, Cold Room and Industrial Facilities as it help with the interfaces between Disciplines if the same Engineering team designs both the Structural and Civil Services. This also reduces costs especialy with Inspections and Site Meetings.
