George Steuart launches GS Engineering

The George Steuart group launched its engineering division, George Steuart Engineering at a ceremony in Colombo.

Formerly known as Lanka Creative Constructions (Pvt) Ltd, a player in the local engineering sector, GS Engineering will focus on civil construction solutions for large and medium scale construction projects.

With a history of over 10 years, George Steuart Engineering will continue to specialise in power sector development, building construction, the telecommunication sector, road development and water supply and drainage sectors.

Chairman of George Steuart Engineering, Prof. Krishan Deheragoda said, "Sri Lanka is currently undergoing development, with three challenges to be addressed, namely reconstruction, resettlement and reconciliation."

"The process to meet them is called the 'Triple R' approach to the development.

Two 'R's' of the 'Triple R' refer directly to the construction industry, which is Reconstruction and Resettlement. Both these processes require a proactive and dynamic involvement of the construction industry," he said.

"In this perspective, the launching of George Steuart Engineering is a timely and relevant initiative to strengthen the nation building process of our country," Deheragoda said.
