It's nearly conference season for us. The ASAPA 2026 Conference kicks off in Nelspruit next week, and PGS Heritage is once again sponsoring as the event's main partner — something we've come to see as one of the most worthwhile commitments we make each year.

Around fifteen of our team will be there, from senior practitioners to younger specialists still building their conference legs, taking in presentations, asking the awkward questions in Q&A, and catching up with people we mostly only see once a year despite working in the same small field. There's something valuable about an industry this size still gathering in person to argue about methodology over coffee rather than just trading takes online.

If you're attending, swing by and say hello we'd love to chat about what we've been working on this year and hear what's keeping you busy too.

April 2026 marks the 23rd year of PGS Heritage.

What began as a three-man-team at the turn of the millenium, has evolved into a powerhouse force of 28. With this incredible team, we have had the privilege of assisting and serving our clients on over 1500 projects across South Africa, Malawi, Tanzania, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique and The Kingdom of Lesotho, Mauritius, Zambia, and Burundi.

We have grown from a single premises home base, to now boasting a mitigation laboratory and offices in South Africa, as well as having offices in Portugal, The Kingdom of Lesotho, and Mozambique.

We are honoured to have played a role in heritage preservation across the world over these past decades, and look forward to all that is yet to come!

At PGS, we are incredibly cognisant of Foot-and-Mouth Disease currently ravaging the agricultural sector. Much of our work sees us interacting with farmers, their lands and livestock, and is for this reason we have implemented pre-emptive biosecurity measures with all of our field teams.

These measures will be conducted in conjunction and in addition to all protocols on the individual farms we move through.

We are committed to doing our part in ensuring the environments we engage with are kept safe, and to curb the spread of this outbreak.

12/01/2026

We’re officially open for 2026!

We’re starting the year energised and excited about the work ahead!

Across our specialist units — Grave Relocation, Heritage Advisory, Heritage Sciences & Mitigation, and GIS & Remote Sensing — our teams are ready to collaborate and deliver thoughtful, practical solutions across the Archaeological, Heritage, and Environmental sectors.

The structural and leadership changes we introduced at the end of 2025 were intentional. Those foundations are now firmly in place, strengthening how we work and positioning PGS for meaningful growth.

If you’re planning projects or keen to reconnect, let’s start the conversation!

15/12/2025

Wishing all our fantastic staff, clients and supporters a wonderful festive season!

Our offices will reopen on 12 January 2026, for a new year of honouring and preserving our nation’s heritage resources!
