The consulting engineering practice, Van Heerden Calitz & Hayes, was established in Pretoria in 1953 when founder member Willem van Heerden entered the civil and structural engineering field. As the practice expanded he was joined by Gerrit Calitz and George Hayes. The practice quickly gained widening respect and stature. In the mid 1980's came the amalgamation with two more firms, Salmon & Cilliers Inc and Werner WO Kurzke & Partners which added branch offices in Pietersburg, Rustenburg and Mafikeng. In the 1990's the firm was joined by Jamie Paola & Associates.
As the firm matured, growing ever more progressive and more dynamic in a fast-changing South Africa, we gave it a newer, simpler name : Civil Concepts.
Strong leadership from the partners is a key feature of the management of the firm, enabling it to undertake a diverse range of projects either regionally or nationally, with major emphasis on personal service by the partners.
