Why Select us

In addition to 7 years of unblemished track record, SMAT Technical Services Ltd. distinguishes itself by its focus on four objectives which pursued together are critical in achieving success in the construction industry.

Fit for purpose solutions

In the resource constrained world, where needs are infinite and financial and human resources are finite, it is not only important to prioritize infrastructure development but it is also essential to ensure the efficiency of resource allocation by developing and implementing solutions which are appropriate for the requirement. Utilizing experience, tools and techniques developed over time and by cultivating and maintaining a “listening culture” in our company, we seek to truly understand the real requirements in a given situation and develop appropriate solutions. These solutions are not only responsive to specific needs but also integrate the constraints of the given circumstances and only responsive to specific needs but also integrate the constraints of the given circumstances and ensure that the projects are implemented in a sustainable way. In so doing, we innovate not simply for the sake of innovation, but to achieve the objective of a well-planned and well-resourced sustainable solution

Risk Mitigation and Management

All human endeavors are fraught with risk. The key to achieving success is to recognize risks,understand them and rigorously implement a plan to manage them. A robust mitigation plan will allocate risks in a transparent manner to those who are best equipped to manage them, ensure those risks are not transferable or insurable. Active risk mitigation and management requires continuous monitoring of all risks until the project has been completed

We adopt a set of simple principles in managing risk:

• Use common sense as it is better to be approximately correct than be accurately wrong.
• Be very transparent in allocating risk and communicate openly with all stakeholders.
• Allocate experienced people to manage risk as machines, models and techniques are not the answer.
• Seek to know what you do not know by questioning each and every assumption.

These essential elements are what enable us to successfully mitigate and manage risks

Capacity Building

In many civil engineering and or construction firms, the capacity to identify good construction material,blend soils, set out structures, sample materials, conduct routine quality tests, monitor the quality of workmanship must be developed not only to be transferable to other upcoming company projects but also to generate the social and economic activity that can then affordably and efficiently utilize the infrastructure. To strengthen capacity building, we incorporate requirements for maximizing local participation, inclusion of local content and implementation of training and skills transfer activity.We ourselves can demonstrate the adoption of these principles in the work we do. We implement a philosophy of maximizing local content. We pride ourselves in having contributed to the soil engineering awareness of professionals in local consulting engineers’ and construction firms in Uganda and Tanzania.
