Renewable energy: Wind
With more than 20 years experience, Gerald brings a wealth of practical experience to our Wind team. He gained extensive experience in Europe before returning to South Africa where he has continued to spearhead and lead the renewable wind projects being implemented in the country. In addition, he was an honorary guest and speaker at the inauguration of Saratec and has continued to train wind turbine technicians in South Africa. Hence, he continuous to invest in the next generation of wind specialists. As wind construction, maintenance, and operational project principal, he provides hands-on oversight and leads technical teams in delivering applications, infrastructure upgrades, and advanced wind farm technology solutions.
Gerald has delivered projects from financial close through to COD and operations. He follows a customer-focused and results-driven approach to Wind Farm construction and management with strong problem solving and solution-building skills.

Why is social safeguarding critical to project success?
Compliance with the local legislative framework as well as the international labour convention directives, Guidelines, IFC performance standards and Equator Principles is critical to attract and retain funding and ensuring project completion and operation. More importantly, without social compliance there is no social license to operate.
Why health, safety, and security safeguarding?
The health, safety and security of the project team, contractors, suppliers, and neighboring communities are of paramount importance. MPAMOT follows a zero-harm policy and places the health, safety, and security of all team members first. Our in-house team provide health, safety, and security safeguarding review on all our renewable projects. We consider compliance to the local legislative framework as well as IFC Performance standard 1 and 4 that addresses community health, safety, and security as well.
Our team considers the following:
- Emergency response plans
- Fire and explosion hazards
- Physical hazards (e.g., cuts, falls, rotating/moving equipment, vibration)
- Ergonomic hazards (e.g., lifting, repetitive work, work posture injuries)
- Chemical hazards
- Biohazards
- Radiation hazards
- Electrical hazards
- Work zone air quality
- Work zone noise level
- Eye hazards
- Workplace temperature and humidity
- Working at heights
- Working in confined spaces
- Industrial vehicle driving and site traffic
- Transportation of workers
With regards to community health, safety, and security we consider the following:
- Contamination of surface water bodies (rivers, lakes, estuaries, etc.)
- Ambient air quality/odor from industrial emissions
- Solid waste disposal
- Hazardous waste disposal
- Usage of chemicals and hazardous materials
- Ground or surface water depletion
- High ambient noise level due to industrial operations
- Ground water contamination
- Air emissions and noise from transportation
- Traffic congestion
- Cultural heritage site/historical monuments/ecologically sensitive sites
- Land acquisition and usage
- Buildings and infrastructure development/decommissioning
- Security personnel
