Precision, Innovation, and Excellence in Engineering Solutions
Founded in 2021, RKT Engineering Consultants emerged from a passion for precision engineering and innovation. What began as a vision in a small Cape Town workshop has grown into a premier engineering consultancy serving clients across South Africa and beyond.
Our founder, Isheanesu Makhuza, recognized the need for specialized CAD/CAM expertise in the marine engineering sector. With a background in marine engineering design and a commitment to excellence, he established RKT to bridge the gap between complex engineering challenges and practical manufacturing solutions.
Established in Cape Town with a focus on marine engineering design
Expanded services to include CAD/CAM training and consultancy
Partnered with major marine manufacturers in South Africa
Serving diverse industries with comprehensive engineering solutions
Guiding principles that define our approach to engineering excellence
To empower industries through precision engineering, innovative solutions, and knowledge transfer that transforms design concepts into manufacturable realities.
We embrace cutting-edge technologies and methodologies to solve complex engineering challenges in novel ways.
Our commitment to accuracy and attention to detail ensures excellence in every project we undertake.
We believe in working closely with clients to understand their unique challenges and co-create solutions.
A structured approach to delivering precision engineering solutions
We begin by thoroughly understanding your project requirements, constraints, and objectives. This phase includes detailed discussions, site visits, and technical assessments to establish a comprehensive project foundation.
In-depth discussions to understand project vision and constraints
Evaluation of technical requirements and feasibility analysis
Clear documentation of project parameters and deliverables
Our team transforms requirements into innovative design concepts. Using advanced CAD tools, we create preliminary models and simulations to explore various design approaches and validate concepts against project objectives.
Initial concept visualizations and design explorations
Creation of detailed digital prototypes
Technical review and feasibility analysis
Selected concepts undergo detailed engineering development. This phase includes technical calculations, material selection, tolerance analysis, and simulation to ensure design integrity and manufacturability.
Structural, thermal, and fluid dynamics analysis
Finite element analysis and performance simulation
Iterative refinement for performance and manufacturability
We translate engineering designs into manufacturing-ready instructions. Our experts develop optimized CNC toolpaths, select appropriate cutting tools, and program machining sequences for efficient production.
