The busy N7 highway on the west coast of the Western Cape province will soon be even safer when H&I Construction completes the Van Schoorsdrif interchange about 15 km north of Cape Town’s suburb of Milnerton.

Significant progress is being made on Concor’s major refurbishment project at The View, an existing section of Fourways Mall that borders Witkoppen and Cedar Roads.

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more deeply embedded in how organisations operate, the infrastructure behind these digital tools is undergoing a profound shift. Data centre capacity to power AI processes must increase, and rapidly, by expanding and upgrading existing facilities or building new data centres. The African data centre market is growing quickly: research places current estimated market value at USD 1.94 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 3.85 billion by 2030.

South Africa stands at a critical crossroads in its water journey. Ranked the 33^rd driest country in the world, it receives just half the global average rainfall. Amidst this, Gauteng, South Africa’s economic hub, depends on strategic water source areas for 67% of its supply - areas now threatened by invasive species, poor land management, and pollution, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). This crisis is further compounded by mounting pressures from climate variability and rapid urbanisation, and systemic inefficiencies, where nearly half (47%) of the country’s clean, treated water is lost through leaks, bursts, faulty meters, or illegal connections.

Leading infrastructure and building contractor Concor has been recognised at Construction World’s Best Projects 2025, receiving two Highly Commended Awards and a Special Mention in the AfriSam Innovation Award for Sustainable Construction category.
