The Patula group of companies was acquired in November 2008 and introduced new sustainable revenue streams for the group by expanding services from sub-surface foundation work to include above-surface civil engineering. The businesses were renamed during 2009 to reflect the single vision and shared values of all companies in the Esorfranki group.

Providing civil engineering construction services since 1995, Esorfranki Civils specifically focuses on road building, mining and township infrastructure work, water and sewerage reticulation contracts and concrete projects for government, major mining houses and the private sector. It successfully leverages its ‘Level 4’ B-BBEE platform to secure tenders for public sector projects at government, provincial government and municipal levels. It also boasts the highest possible ‘9CE’ grading from the Construction Industry Development Board.

Esorfranki Civils boasts a comprehensive plant inventory. The business unit employs over 1 100 employees ranging from artisan to management level.
