Established in 1995, NAKO LBE has built an enviable portfolio of projects across various sectors, including oil and gas, chemical, power generation, food and beverage, manufacturing and processing, pharmaceutical, mining and other industrial sectors for public and private clients.
NAKO LBE excels in combining the principles of industrial civil engineering with decades of practical experience. These factors are integrated with high-quality global best practices and the latest technology to create world-class, customised client solutions. Our internal quality management system has been ISO 9001 certified since 2014, assuring the industry that NAKO LBE’s policies and procedures are aligned with international standards.
By assessing risk implications, total cost of ownership, time, and production constraints, NAKO LBE provides focused engineering, procurement, and construction management expertise to deliver cost-effective, sustainable solutions that are technically sound and aligned with the client’s expectations.
In 2014, NAKO LBE (formerly known as Lategan Bouwer Engineers) entered into a long-term partnership with NAKO ILISO (formerly known as ILISO Consulting) to form the NAKO Group—an African-owned, multi-disciplinary consulting engineering group. The NAKO Group embodies an ethos of engineering excellence, investment in the development of local expertise, and value-adding partnerships.

Partnerships:
To foster long term partnerships with clients in order to form a unique understanding of their requirements.
Project teams:
To adapt services through the use of project-specific teams with industry expertise that result in highly competent and proficient services.
Integration:
Value is created through the integration of capital cost, technical considerations, risk factors, life-cycle costs, sustainability and other operational issues, which all impact on the long-term outcome of a project.
