Infrastructure South Africa lists 110 projects worth about R395 billion heading to procurement

Infrastructure South Africa (ISA) has published the third edition of its Construction Book, launched at the Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium South Africa (SIDSSA26) in Cape Town from 23 to 25 August 2026. It features 110 infrastructure projects valued at about R395 billion, expected to enter procurement and construction over the next 12 to 18 months.

The book covers six sectors. Municipal infrastructure accounts for about R112 billion, energy about R86 billion, transport R81 billion, social infrastructure R52 billion, water and sanitation R35 billion and digital infrastructure about R28 billion. For the first time, the publication also includes public-private partnership (PPP) projects.

ISA says the aim is to give contractors, investors, financiers, suppliers and professional service providers better visibility of the national pipeline, so they can plan and prepare for upcoming opportunities.

ISA also intends to publish quarterly updates that track procurement milestones, tenders issued, contract awards and the start of construction. The full Construction Book is available as a PDF on the SIDSSA website.

What this means for suppliers

• Download the Construction Book and shortlist projects in your sector before the tenders are published.
• With a 12 to 18 month window, now is the time to line up partners, capacity and finance for larger projects.
• Follow ISA's quarterly updates to see which projects have moved to tender or award.
