Projects
GeoGroup Companies help Exxaro Secure the Safety of its New Lakeside Towers Development
The New Exxaro’s Lakeside Towers Office Development was developed over a dolomite rock formation. The dolomite formation is renowned for developing sinkholes and this poses a potential risk to the safety of structures built upon them and hence the people within those structures.
