EASE Engineering PLC
East Africa Specialized Engineering, PLC is a subsidiary of Africa Specialized Engineering, B.V., a Netherland based engineering firm specializing in providing unique and tailor made construction solutions that optimize existing and new construction projects.
Since the early 1950s, there have been considerable advances in the “art” and “science” of structural designs and construction through the use of better structural materials, refined knowledge of structural design processes and construction technologies and methodologies. Most of these advances, however, remain underutilized in various parts of Africa.
EASE hopes to bridge this gap through the delivery of advanced design and construction services to our clients.
