The company\u2019s revised service offering and partnerships with key technology players will see the wholly local company compete on an even playing field with multinational water service providers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Aquamarine Water Solutions, a wholly South African company and independent business unit within the Murray &amp; Roberts stable, introduced its expanded water treatment solutions offering in late 2019. This coincided with the company\u2019s relaunch, which included the head office relocation to Johannesburg; internal restructuring; and the announcement of its objectives: to provide more value for customers in 2020 and beyond, increase its customer base in South Africa and expand into Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s mission \u2013 to empower Africa with technology-driven water solutions \u2013 is intended to help overcome water scarcity on the continent and simultaneously provide quality water tailored to customers\u2019 specific requirements. To achieve this, the company has partnered with local and multinational technology partners that specialise in water related solutions. This allows Aquamarine to ensure quality in all its offerings; proffer expert advice to customers with regards to component application use; repair and service equipment when required; and uphold the technology owners\u2019 warranties.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s complete water solutions offering includes made-to-order and standardised solutions for brackish and seawater treatment. This encompasses the manufacture and installation of containerised and skid mounted water treatment plants, the provision of chemicals (reverse osmosis, cooling and boiler); componentry; operation and maintenance of plants, as well as risk-dependent finance for any of its projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis offering, when combined with the benefits of our partnerships, puts us on a trajectory to provide greater value for our customers,\u201d says Aquamarine Water Solutions Head, Clive Govender.<\/p>\n<p>Aquamarine\u2019s partner companies include technology owners specialising in water treatment membranes, process and dosing pumps, chemicals, filtration systems, pressure vessels, and consumables. \u201cAll of them are key players in their specific fields and therefore dedicate large volumes of time and money into R&amp;D,\u201d Govender explains. \u201cThe collaborations are a win-win for all. The technologies provided speak to the solutions that the South African and African markets need and we represent their brands in-country, giving them a local presence and capability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Collaboration with the technology owners enables the company to develop more refined tailor-made solutions to suit customers\u2019 specific requirements. Additional advantages for Aquamarine\u2019s customers include faster project delivery enabled by stock availability, speedy delivery, a turnkey service offering, local expert knowledge and aftersales support.<\/p>\n<p>Aquamarine\u2019s strategy includes developing long-term relationships with its customers, with a view of optimising product lifecycle costs. To this end, the company conducts capital vs. operating costs comparisons, and continuously optimises the solution to provide increased efficiency throughout the lifetime of the asset.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA water treatment plant is a high capital cost which can be offset over the long-term via efficient operations and maintenance,\u201d Govender points out. \u201cAn efficiently run plant results in reduced power requirements and lower chemical consumption, and provides a more consistent quality output. This means that our offering ultimately contributes to a plant\u2019s lower total cost of ownership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aquamarine has partnered with a warehousing and distribution service provider, which enables them to guarantee a delivery lead-time for stocked items of 24 to 72 hours based on a customer\u2019s location. As over-border projects increase and component delivery to those countries rise, the company will establish regional distribution centres in countries where order volumes are sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>Aquamarine\u2019s head office is supported by its Cape Town branch, and plans to move into the rest of sub-Saharan Africa in the short- to medium-term are underway. The new head office is located at Aquamarine House, 46 Koornhof Road, Meadowdale, Germiston.<\/p>\n<p>CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za.<\/p>\n<p> &#8211; <small>MyPR<\/small><\/p>\n<p> CLICK HERE to submit your news to www.MyPR.co.za.<\/p>\n<p> Click here to submit your Johannesburg, Gauteng News &#8211; free.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Have you tried:<\/strong> Reach Trust for Solar and Building Management?<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Did you know this about Johannesburg?<\/strong> Johannesburg City Hall was constructed in 1914 by the Hawkey and McKinley construction company. The plan for the building was drawn in 1910 and construction was started in 1913 and finished in 1914. The style is described as Edwardian Baroque with a portico of Ionic columns and tower with a half dome entrance described as neo-Renaissance. Florence Phillips, an art collector and the wife of mining magnate Lionel Phillips, established the first collection for the Johannesburg Art Gallery using funds donated by her husband. The architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens, came to South Africa in 1910 to examine the site and begin the designs, after Lady Florence Phillips had secured funding from the city for a purpose-built museum. The gallery was possibly Luytens&#8217;s first public building in the Beaux Arts style. It was built with a south-facing entrance, but was not completed according to the architect&#8217;s designs. It was opened to the public, without ceremony, in 1915, just after the start of the First World War. <\/p>\n<p><small><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/aquamarine-enhances-its-business-offering-and-relocates-to-south-africas-business-hub\/\">MyJHB<\/a><\/small><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MyJHB<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join the fun:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/add-your-event\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Add Your event<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mypr.co.za\/submit\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Submit a Press Release<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/directory\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Add your listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aquamarine enhances its business offering and relocates to South Africa\u2019s business hub: MyPR: Aquamarine enhances its business offering and relocates to South Africa\u2019s business hub: Aquamarine Water Solutions new head office building in Johannesburg.
