YEARS OFEXCELLENCE
CELEBRATING ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE
South Africa is aptly called the Rainbow na�on — a term coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu a�er South Africa's first fully democra�c elec�on in 1994 — because of our diversity. In the 1990’s we all trusted that diversity would give impetus to res�tu�on, equality and growth.
Hailing from a disadvantaged background we exuberantly started our own company in 1999, driven by a belief that we would be regarded as equals among our peers, however, this in itself became our biggest challenge. The challenge of ge�ng clients to believe that we were equal to the task would take considerable �me to overcome.
Today, when I look back over the past twenty years, I am proud of what we've achieved — building a company with humility and perseverance. We did it by always se�ng out to exceed our clients’ expecta�ons, building respec�ul rela�onships with our peers and by sourcing the right exper�se to complement our own. Against all odds — despite an environment of s�fling procurement legisla�on, takeover bids from interna�onal companies, recessions and the fragmenta�on of the construc�on industry — Lyners has grown steadfastly into a sizeable, dynamic and diversified prac�ce.
We have never strived to be the biggest company, but rather to be the best in our day-to-day offerings. Our primary goal is to have sa�sfied clients and competent, dedicated and enthusias�c employees. Our mission is to remain CARING, INNOVATIVE and FOCUSSED in our quest to help eliminate poverty and reduce inequality in this beau�ful South Africa — the country that we love and call home.

Neil Lyners established Neil
Lyners & Associates
(RF) (Pty) Ltd (commonly
known as Lyners) in 1999
to provide mul�-disciplinary
consul�ng engineering and
project management services
in the built environment
sector. The company’s first
office was in Paarl. Lyners
moved its head office to
Tyger Waterfront in 2004, a
third office was opened in
George during 2014 and
recently established a fourth
office in Sutherland, falling
under the management of
the George office.
EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY &SERVICE ARE PART OF OUR DNA
CARING | INNOVATIVE | FOCUSSED
The shareholders, management and some of the Bellville and Paarl staff of Lyners
celebrated the company’s 20th Anniversary by having a social get-together and to
reminisce about the past 20 years. Lyners believes it will remain one of the brightest
stars among professions in the built environment for the next 20 years.
LYNERS IS A DYNAMIC & EXPANDING COMPANY
Lyners has twenty years’ experience in providing consul�ng and project management
services in the public and private sectors. Over the years the company has expanded into a
mul�-disciplinary engineering consultancy providing Civil-, Structural- and Electrical engineering
services. The company has worked with all �ers of government, as well as the private sector.
LYNERS SPECIALISES IN
Civil engineering
Roads and bridges
Structural engineering
Electrical and electronic engineering and renewable energy
Project and programme management
Lyners has worked on projects throughout the Western Cape, Southern Cape and
Northern Cape, as well as in the Republic of Chad and Lesotho.
Growth and diversifica�on created a synergy that has allowed Lyners to capitalise on a large pool of resources, exper�se, personnel and equipment. Today Lyners employs more than seventy professional engineers, technologists, technicians, and administra�ve and support personnel.
LYNERS HAS OFFICES IN THE NORTHERN-, WESTERN- AND SOUTHERN CAPE
CARING | INNOVATIVE | FOCUSSED
VALUES & VISION
At Lyners we have always upheld a
strong set of core values. These values
include respect for clients,
sub-consultants, communi�es,
contractors and personnel and a belief
in professionalism, integrity and ethical
behaviour under all circumstances.
Openness, honesty, confiden�ality,
discre�on and excellence are all values
that form the bedrock of the
company’s value system.
We are commi�ed to exceeding our
clients’ expecta�ons for outstanding
service and sustainability. Our culture
of self-evalua�on, self-development
and post-contract reviews has allowed
us to not only stay relevant in our
industry, but also to become leaders in
our field.
In 2015 Lyners embarked on an extensive
restructuring programme that involved all
personnel. The goal was to reformulate
the company’s brand iden�ty, corporate
culture and to ar�culate our core values. In
order to do this we invited Dr Mar�e
Lancellas of the Strong Founda�on to audit
the whole company and to develop
leadership and personal-development
programmes for the company’s staff. Over
a six-month period we were able to
redefine Lyners’ core value, vision and
mission.
Our core value encapsulates the reason we
exist as a business. We believe that the
quality of rela�onships will make a
significant difference in people’s lives.
Our vision is to help people and our clients
to turn opportuni�es into reali�es, and to
do that in a way that is both extraordinary
and sustainable.
Our mission is to bring good things to life
by building rela�onships and by offering
competence, sound business principles
and excellent professional knowledge.
Core values direct behaviours and attitudes. Core values such as commitment, honesty, integrity, respect and trust are like the root system of a well-anchored tree. That which clients and colleagues experience, that which is visible, manifests as qualities such as courage, optimism, support, tenacity, maturity, humility, caring, fairness and the ability to listen.
WE OFFER CLIENTS SUPERIOR SERVICE, QUALITY WORKMANSHIP, WISDOM AND MATURITY, SUSTAINABILITY,
AND A HIGH STANDARD OF PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE.
CARING | INNOVATIVE | FOCUSSED
EMPOWERMENT & MENTORSHIP
At Lyners empowerment means much
more than achieving the highest B-BBEE
level. We believe that we have a
significant role to play in bridging the
divisions created in the past. We are
commi�ed to crea�ng meaningful
opportuni�es for learners at school
who have the poten�al to become ac�ve
par�cipants in the engineering industry,
for students trying to complete their
engineering studies, and for all our current
employees, to become the best they can
within their poten�al. Lyners is therefore
commi�ed to black economic
empowerment and the development and
training of historically disadvantaged
individuals (HDIs).
THE COMPANY EARMARKS A SIZEABLE PROPORTION OF ITS PAYROLL FOR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING OF ALL PERSONNEL, AS WELL AS INTERNSHIPS AND BURSARIES FOR HDI STUDENTS.
Our mentorship programme for engineers, technologists and technicians is an integral part of our skills
development and training programme. The company has signed the Engineering Council of South Africa’s
(ECSA) “Commitment and Undertaking” and supports ECSA’s mentorship programme for the development of
young professional and technical staff in the engineering industry.
Today the majority of the company’s equity is vested with HDIs and more than a third of our
technical and professional staff members are HDIs. We are also commi�ed to increasing our
company’s representa�on of female technical and professional staff. We are commi�ed to
suppor�ng emerging businesses in the built environment sector and dedicate both �me and
resources to enterprise and supplier development.

LYNERS RECEIVED THE 2017 CESA AON ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE AWARD IN THE CATEGORY FOR PROJECTS BETWEEN R50M AND R250M IN 2017 FOR WORK ON THE L’ORMARINS HYDRO PLANT.
CELEBRATING ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE
The civil and structural engineering construc�on was completed within budget and prior to the client’s deadline for
readiness. Lyners was appointed as consul�ng structural and civil engineers. This included the construc�on of two
turbine sta�ons and pipelines in an environmentally sensi�ve part of the Western Cape and in mountainous and
inaccessible areas to enable the genera�on of 2.3 MW of green electricity. Approximately 1 650 return helicopter
flights were undertaken during construc�on.
A small por�on of the mountain stream, up to 700ℓ/s, was abstracted to generate the electricity. The project required
the design and construc�on of a pipeline from a high and inaccessible part in the mountain to convey water at a
maximum flow rate of 700ℓ/s to the first turbine sta�on situated about 300 m below the intake point. A second pipeline
was constructed to convey water from the first turbine sta�on to a balancing dam or directly to a second turbine sta�on
situated a further 100 m lower than the first turbine sta�on. The design then directed the water back into the stream
below the turbine.
