Technical Staff
Following Kai Lund’s retirement at the end of February 2008, Reimund Stoldt took over as joint-managing member of the Firm.
Reimund is a registered Professional Engineer with the Engineering Council of Namibia and a Member of the Engineering Professions Association of Namibia.
Reimund graduated as Dipl. Ing. from the “Fachhochschule Hamburg”, Germany, in 1989. He has nearly 40 years of post-qualification experience and has been the team leader and senior design engineer for various multi-million dollar projects in the civil, structural and water related fields, including feasibility studies, planning reports, structural investigations, new and rehabilitation designs, tender documentation and contract administration and, in many instances, project management as well. His professional skills and experience include structural engineering, construction management and administration, quality control, township development and services, sewage reticulation and treatment, storm water drainage, roads and road surveys, hydrological analyses, hydraulic engineering, water supply and distribution, pipeline engineering, pump stations, reservoirs and rural water supply projects.
Amongst these many disciplines, Reimund specialises in structural design, civil engineering projects, project administration, contract coordination and cost control.
Reimund’s recent work on projects in Namibia’s Protected Areas has led to the compilation of the Environmental and Social Management Guidance Document (ESMGD) for Infrastructure Development in Protected Areas and he has overseen the design and implementation of engineering projects which comply with both Namibia’s environmental and social legislation and regulations and KfW’s very stringent Sustainability Guidelines. This work has placed LCE at the forefront of environmentally and socially responsible design and construction, particularly in environmentally sensitive and Protected Areas.
Following the merger of Pro-Services with LCE, Günter Brettschneider became joint-managing member of the Firm.
Günter is a registered Incorporated Engineer with the Engineering Council of Namibia and a Member of the Engineering Professions Association of Namibia.
Günter graduated as NH Dipl. Eng. (Mech) from the Pretoria Technikon in 1986 and in 1995 completed a Certificate in Project Management with the University of Pretoria. He has nearly 40 years of post-qualification experience in the mechanical and water engineering industry in both the public and private sector, engaging in viability studies, detailed design, water network modelling and simulations, compilation of tender documents, construction, and project management of multi-disciplinary teams of water resource development and mechanical services projects.
Amongst these many disciplines, Günter specialises in pump station and pipeline design, irrigation projects, water network modelling and simulations as well as construction and project management.
Hugh Bruce is a registered Professional Engineer with the Engineering Council of Namibia and a Member of the Engineering Professions Association of Namibia.
Hugh obtained a B Eng. (Civil) and MSc. (Eng.) from the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, in 1998 and 2000 respectively. He has over 20 years of experience in hydraulic design, the design of water supply and distribution schemes, sewerage reticulation schemes, construction supervision, project management, tender documentation as well as economic and financial analyses and tariff studies. Hugh has also completed numerous integrated water resources-types of assessments, analysing the yields and capacities of different water resources and the sufficiency of supply infrastructure relative to the expected water demands.
Hugh specialises in water and wastewater engineering and the financial and economic analyses of civil engineering schemes and has in recent years developed a strong focus on the assessment of unconventional water resources, including desalination, managed aquifer recharge and direct potable reuse.
Stefan Grögli is registered as an Incorporated Engineer in Training with the Engineering Council of Namibia.
Stefan obtained a BSc (Eng.) (Civil) from the Hochschule Rapperswil in Switzerland in 2001. He has over 20 years of post-qualification experience on a variety of civil engineering projects, including hydraulic design, the design of water supply, water distribution and sewerage reticulation schemes, and extensive experience in roads-related projects, as well as general civil engineering projects. He has designed and implemented a number of projects in various of Namibia’s National Parks and protected areas, which have made use of energy-efficient and sustainable design concepts and have used locally available materials as far as possible to reduce the project footprints.
Stefan in 2021 completed KfW’s Tender Agent Training and is registered on their Tender Agent Database. This qualification aside, Stefan specialises in tender or bid procedures, covering the spectrum from the preparation of bid documents including bid procedures, conditions of contract, construction and material specifications, to bid administration, to bid evaluation and award. This includes experience with donor-funded projects and their specific requirements, including those of the German Development Bank, KfW, and the African Development Bank.
Stefan has also been instrumental in the compilation of the Environmental and Social Management Guidance Document (ESMGD) for Infrastructure Development in Protected Areas in Namibia which guides and supports the identification, appraisal, management and monitoring of Environmental and Social impacts in accordance with the Namibian legal framework and the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Standards. Subsequently, Environmental and Social Management Plans were developed and embedded in the contract documentation for construction contracts, to ensure environmentally and socially responsible construction in Namibia’s Protected Areas.
Aneska is registered as an Incorporated Engineer with the Engineering Council of Namibia in two disciplines; as a Civil Engineer and as a Structural Engineer.
Aneska obtained a B. Tech. degree in Civil Engineering (Urban) from UNISA in 2011 after completing a National Diploma in Engineering (Civil) from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, South Africa, in 2009. She followed this with the completion of the Structural Engineering modules of the B. Tech. degree in Civil Engineering with UNISA, in 2015, which enabled her to register as both a Civil Engineer and as a Structural Engineer.
Aneska has over 15 years’ of post-qualification experience in the design, draughting, site supervision and management of structural and civil engineering projects which have included multi-storey residential buildings, commercial buildings, warehouses, town halls, government buildings as well as fish processing plants and associated cold stores, and, more recently, water supply projects. A particular career highlight of Aneska’s was working on Nedbank Namibia’s new multi-storey head office in the Capital, Windhoek.
Christiaan van Zyl is registered as a Professional Engineer in Training with the Engineering Council of Namibia.
Christiaan obtained his B. Eng. (Civil) from the University of Pretoria in 2020 and has accumulated post-qualification experience on a number of civil engineering projects including buildings, railway lines and water supply projects. Christiaan’s particular experience lies with Quality Control / Quality Assurance, the construction supervision and contract administration of construction projects.
Dirk Coetzee is registered as a Professional Engineer in Training with the Engineering Council of Namibia.
Dirk obtained his B. Eng. (Civil) and MSc. Eng. (Civil) degrees from the University of Namibia in 2015 and 2019 respectively, the latter specialising in water engineering.
