Rostruct operates both within the Geotechnical and Mining Services sectors mainly on the African Continent. Rostruct originated in 1956. The business then operated only within the Geotechnical sector. In 1991 the group was acquired by a Swiss holding when the international shareholders decided to divest their interests in South Africa due to the impending change in government and to concentrate on their other international operations. The holding has more recently been restructured through a Mauritian holding company; Rostruct (Africa) Ltd.
