Arup SIGMA1 has been established in Port Louis,
Mauritius since 1975. Our office of 80 staff has
gained a reputation for delivering solutions of high
quality in the fields of structural, civil and
environmental engineering with a history of
projects in both the private and public sectors.
Our approach to business is aimed at developing
projects based on the cornerstones
of sustainability; environmental integrity,
economic viability, efficient resource utilisation
and social welfare.
We understand the nature of the major investment
our clients commit to their projects. We believe that
these investments must be safeguarded and that
they require workable, holistic, cost-effective
solutions that are sustainable over time - they must
be capable of meeting today’s expectations and
future demands. Our deep understanding of the
most pressing local and international business
issues allows us to address each project in the most
relevant way.
By our commitment to team working, creative
thinking, technical excellence and sustainable
design we, in collaboration with our clients, strive to
deliver projects which both enhance the
environment and improve the quality of life.

Arup SIGMA is a Mauritius registered company and a wholly
owned subsidiary of Arup Group (Arup).
Arup, which is wholly owned
in trust for the benefit of its
employees, enjoys total financial
independence and has an
annual turnover in excess of
£800 million (GBP). A substantial
proportion of the firm’s income is
devoted to improving its technical
standards through the continuing
professional development of its
members and by developing new
techniques of engineering design
and management.
Arup is one of the largest and most successful international
engineering, planning and design consultancies with almost
10,000 staff working in 37 countries through 90 permanent
offices. Our wide network of offices uniquely enables us to
provide global expertise combined with local knowledge.
Ove Arup founded the practice in 1946. Sir Ove’s ideals and
principles are as much a driving force now as they were in
his lifetime. Foremost among these are the belief in ‘total
planning and design’ - the integration of the planning, design,
operations and construction processes, the interdependence
of all professionals involved and the value of innovation.
Arup has retained a strong presence in Africa since the 1950’s.
The Mauritius office, established since 1975, forms part of the
Arup Africa network of offices which includes South Africa,
Botswana, Zimbabwe and Nigeria.
Arup SIGMA’s long standing and strong presence in Mauritius
ensures that the unique principles of the firm are applied
locally in the most appropriate and relevant way. Our business
activities are conducted with a thorough understanding of the
regulatory framework, national development policies and local
procurement/construction practices.

building energy performance etc.
