SENTULA - Johannesburg

As the company continued to grow, offices were opened in Ladysmith and energies were focused on road and dam building in the Drakensberg and Transkei areas. However, from 1985 the company started to move in a new direction with a number of contracts awarded for earthmoving operations on opencast mines. These contracts included topsoil stripping, access roads, rehabilitation and closure of old mines and opencast mining projects for major mining and engineering companies in Gauteng. Offices and workshops were opened in Middelburg in the late 1990’s to service the increasing mining activities in the Mpumalanga coalfields. From these modest beginnings in Newcastle, Sentula’s fleet has grown to more than 2 000 major machine items today.
