About Us

Our vision is to become a leading and trusted provider of innovative and customized engineering solutions in water, wastewater ...

mining and general engineering, and to empower African communities by delivering our services in an ethical and socially responsible manner.

Our history

Founded in 2019, Maoko was born from a simple observation "too many engineering projects fail when imported technologies are imposed on African challenges without adapting to local realities". We started Maoko to develop home-grown engineering solutions that respond to local constraints, strengthen resilience, and promote circularity, and create lasting value for communities and organizations.

Wastewater

  • Wastewater treatment for environmental discharge and recycling for non-potable applications (cooling towers, ablutions, cleaning, irrigation)
  • Treatment and reuse for process water circuits
  • Compliance-orientated wastewater treatment and discharge risk reduction

Mining

  • Mine water management strategy and water balances
  • Treatment and reuse solutions for process water circuits
  • Compliance-oriented wastewater treatment and discharge risk reduction
  • Operational support for all mining processes to improve uptime, cost, and operational efficiency

Utilities

  • Utility-style service models for water and wastewater assets (design, build, operate and performance assurance)
  • Asset management and operational performance improvement
  • Long-term partnerships that prioritize reliability, compliance and predictable cost

Our Projects

Our project experience spans water recycling, wastewater treatment, troubleshooting, process optimization and increasing community water access. We partner with our clients as Turn-key providers or as Project Managers (EPCM) to deliver tailored solutions that deliver measurable operational outcomes.
