As an active participant in the transformation of South Africa, project delivery and engineering consultancy; WorleyParsons RSA has demonstrated that Enterprise Development can be successful, as attested to by the creation of iX engineers (Pty) Ltd, a majority black-owned consulting engineering company focusing on the private and public infrastructure sector.

As from the 1st of October 2016, iX engineers provides professional services for the design development and through-life-support of infrastructure, including airports, roads, rail, dams, water supply, water treatment, wastewater, buildings, urban infrastructure, power transmission and distribution infrastructure.
