In 2013 Mott MacDonald acquired the Johannesburg-based engineering specialist PD Naidoo & Associates and established Mott MacDonald PDNA, combining our complementary skills, experience, leading edge abilities and best practice into a single-source, end-to-end service capable of delivering the complex next-generation projects that will drive Africa's social and economic success. With 800 people in 15 centres in South Africa, Botswana, Mozambique, Uganda and Mauritius – and with immediate reach-back to nearly 15,000 colleagues around the Mott MacDonald world – we have an unrivalled ability to provide the diversity and cutting-edge thinking needed to deliver. Services that help people better their lives; projects that contribute to Africa's social and economic transformation – that's the common goal bringing us together. It's been the drive behind Mott MacDonald's activities in helping build social and physical infrastructure in Africa since the 1920′s and PDNA's contribution to engineering and technological development through black empowerment since its creation in 1986. Strategically founded and financially robust, Mott MacDonald PDNA embodies both companies' long-held aspirations to support the future of this region. We offer the scope, scale and reach to take on the strategic, agenda-setting projects Southern Africa needs to deliver its ambitions. We're here for the long term.
