The 2008 Frost & Sullivan Market Leadership Award in the South African Water and Wastewater Services Market is presented to VWS Envig Ltd for achieving the highest market share in the water and wastewater services market. The company has achieved and maintained its leadership position through rapid growth and market penetration, successful project implementation, good customer relationship and having an adequate resource base.

“The ability to successfully implement projects has been a major challenge in this market and WVS Envig’s capacity to overcome this challenge, as evident in its Durban Water Recycling Project and the turnkey Sapref project in Durban, has given it an edge over its competitors, contributing to its position as market leader,” notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Derrick Chikanga.

The Durban Water Recycling project is now used as a benchmark at the international level because it is one of the few plants in the world that has a domestic effluent plant followed directly by a potable water plant. The plant has been a recipient of numerous awards including the Pit Fossil and Civil Engineering Excellence Awards. “The project has assisted in reducing the amount of wastewater that is released into the Indian Ocean by approximately 30 per cent,” adds Derrick Chikanga. “Further, this project has helped alleviate pressure on municipal water supplies and water allocation decisions.”

VWS Envig’s outstanding success in South Africa’s water and wastewater services market has been characterised by high growth and market penetration. The company has emphasised the importance of business development, reflected in its revenue figures over the last 6 years. Its turnover, in this short period, has grown from an initial ZAR 50 million to ZAR 500 million.

VWS Envig offers total water and wastewater solutions to a variety of industrial end-users in South and sub-Saharan Africa, including Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Nigeria, Kenya and Mauritius.
