Witsies emerged tops at the 2024 SAICE National Investigational Project (IP) Showdown held on March 08, 2024.
The event, which brings together selected final year Civil Engineering students from Universities across South Arica to showcase their projects, aims to create a platform for South Africa’s final year Civil Engineering students to showcase their solutions to critical industry challenges.
In a joint IP aimed at making concrete more sustainable by mitigating against its negative environmental impact and reducing the cost of production using pulverized coal bottom ash as a partial cement replacement, final year students Mr Tsematse Tsematse and Ms Simone Singh from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering convinced the esteemed judges that they deserved the top prize which also included a R20 000 cash award!
Congratulations to Simone and Tsematse for epitomizing excellence, a key value in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
