At VSL Construction Solutions, we provide a range of bespoke service offerings, tailored to meet your needs and budget.
Choose either individual service offerings or a combined solution:
We exclusively use the VSL Post-Tensioning System and VSL components – a world-renowned system that employs patented Swiss technology for concrete slabs, beams and other structural elements needed for construction projects.
We are connected to a global professional network consisting of over 900 engineers, which allows us to tap into a deep pool of international expertise. We can therefore take on even the most complex post-tensioning projects.
Our footprint covers southern Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands, and we have significant experience in successfully completing challenging projects on time and within budget.
We take an innovative approach to each project, and we aim to save you both time and money.

Structural Concrete Repair & Strengthening
The lifting, lowering and horizontal movement of large and heavy loads requires specialist equipment and knowledge.
That’s exactly what the VSL Heavy Lifting System has been developed to achieve.
It’s applicable to major structures including jacking bridge decks and moving silo roofs, mine headgear and power generation turbines, among others.
We use the latest VSL System innovations and strategies to restore or add load-bearing capacity to bridges, buildings, silos, reservoirs and other large structures through the use of passive/active strengthening systems.
- Enlarging the structural members
- Steel plate bonding
- Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite systems
- Beam, slab and silo strengthening
- In-house carbon fibre design
- Laminates for tension strengthening
- Fabric for shear strengthening
- External post-tensioning
Our concrete repairs service offering includes repairs to cracks, honeycombing, delamination and spalling. We can also address substandard work carried out by other companies, or repair damaged post-tensioned reinforced structures by installing remedial anchors for damaged pre-stressed tendons, and the replacement of expansion joints and structural bearings.
VSL Retained Earth
Soil stabilisation is a vital part of any construction project. With the advanced VSL Retained Earth system, you are guaranteed an economical and effective composite soil reinforcing solution based on reinforcing mesh, precast facing panels and backfill material.
Quality Assurance
At VSL Construction Solutions, we are committed to quality outcomes in every project we undertake.
In addition, our scanning teams can complete rebar mapping and cover surveys of entire buildings.
