Institute of Municipal Engineering of Southern Africa
Who We are
Since 1961, The Institute of Municipal Engineering of Southern Africa (IMESA) has been committed to the pursuit of excellence in all facets of infrastructure, pushing boundaries and driving innovation. Our unwavering dedication extends to the professionals who form the backbone of this industry.
IMESA creates a platform for the exchange of ideas and viewpoints on all aspects of municipal engineering with the aim of expanding the knowledge and best practices in all local government municipalities. This is made up of a community of pioneers, professionals, and enthusiasts united by a singular purpose: to reshape the landscape of infrastructure engineering.
Overview
The Institute advises Councils on municipal engineering matters and serves the broader community through representation on a number of national bodies, where it provides input from the municipal engineer’s perspective. As a member of the International Federation of Municipal Engineering (IFME), IMESA contributes to and gains a wealth of global experience in the infrastructure engineering field. Partnering with both local and international organizations IMESA not only to raises awareness but redefines perceptions, strengthening our image and reputation among diverse audiences. Strategic partnerships with government bodies, academic institutions, research entities are pivotal in the quest to benefit the institute, its members, and the entire engineering profession. Municipalities are key role-players in identifying needs, prioritizing funding, and implementing integrated development planning for community-based programmes. Together, we can navigate a course towards a brighter, more innovative future for infrastructure engineering.
