MEET OUR TEAM


Nickey Graham
Director
I finished my studies toward ND Surveying in 2003 at the then Cape Technikon, the present-day Cape Peninsula University of Technology. I travelled to many countries like Namibia, Lesotho and Madagascar for survey projects and contracts. I have expansive knowledge and experience in Engineering, Construction and Topographical Surveys. I am a registered full member of the South African Geomatics Institute (SAGI) and the South African Geomatics Council (SAGC) with registration number S0902.
I pride myself on accuracy and performance, and I have the ability to think on my feet and can make crucial decisions when it matters. Your project is my pride.
Steyn De Jager
Director & Manager
I started practising Surveying in 2002 at a small company called Henry Graham Surveyors. While in service there, I was involved in a lot of different projects and aspects of Surveying. A major project in my career would be the rehabilitation of a 140 kilometre stretch of road from Mururani to Rundu in Northern Namibia. I was there from 2003 to the end of 2005 when the project was finalized.
My business partner Nickey Graham and I founded TESS in July 2009. In 2010, we commenced with a water infrastructure project which spanned the whole of Lesotho. We were the sub-consultants for PD Naidoo and Associates.
There are a lot of keywords that can be used as a guideline for being a success in the business – honesty, dedication, fast and effective service and accuracy!
