Resilient Design
GDH
The GDH is a sustainable engineering design outfit operating on the leading edge of adaptive and mitigatory design solutions in the domains of permaculture, mobility and energy.
The GDH also offers consulting solutions in functional engineering design for enterprises, local and national government.
RESILIENT DESIGN
Design is often an unappreciated, mostly misunderstood, albeit supremely important process in the product creation cycle. Projects usually do not fail, what commonly fails is the underlying design component. Talk to us and experience resilient design.

Audit Design
You will find it useful to allow an audit of your systems, process and products. This is useful in the identification of those aspects that work well for conservation and those which pose as a drag to your operation that require culling.
Incubate
Beautiful ideas are just that. Ideas work best when incubated. We will assist you in the translation of your novel cogitation into actual concepts that can be modelled, tested, and developed and scaled into real life products.
Execute
At this stage, we will work with you hand in glove to develop sound design solutions for adoption within your existing or new product mix.
Confect
You will no doubt experience your envisaged product taking shape. This is the most exciting stage. Here dynamic forces are calibrated, rigorous tests conducted, prototypes generated and the final product manufactured.
Maintain
What is the purpose of building, if we do not maintain the final product functionality in the marketplace? Our maintain product keeps your product line redundant and latency at a minimum.
THEATRE
We operate in these three domains.
Energy
What could we do without it. Even bacteria needs energy. We have a plethora of sources of cheap, abundant and benign sources of energy that we have only scratched the surface of their exploitation.
Permaculture
Good food is the basic building block of who we are are people. what we eat has a direct impact on our physical, neurological and physiological health. It is important that food is grown in ways that are safe for consumption, for the land that it is grown on and that it is nutritionally dense, not wasteful in terms of inputs and land use, cultivation process not endanger water sources and catchments amongst many more.
Mobility
The way that we move people and freight need not be environmentally catastrophic. We can cut valuable commute time, safely and simultaneously get many people to interconnected destinations cheaply, and decongest alternative forms of transportation materially.
Green Engineering Principles
Green engineering is the design, commercialization, and use of processes and products in a way that reduces pollution, promotes sustainability, and minimizes risk to human health and the environment without sacrificing economic viability and efficiency.
Green engineering embraces the concept that decisions to protect human health and the environment can have the greatest impact and cost-effectiveness when applied early, in the design and development phase of a process or product.
- Holistically use systems analysis and integrate environmental impact assessment tools.
- Conserve and improve natural ecosystems while protecting human health and well-being.
- Use life-cycle thinking in all engineering activities.
- Creates engineering solutions beyond current or dominant technologies; improves, innovates, and invents (technologies) to achieve sustainability.
- Ensure that all material and energy inputs and outputs are as inherently safe and benign as possible.
- Minimize depletion of natural resources.
- Strive to prevent waste.
- Develops and applies engineering solutions while being cognizant of local geography, aspirations, and cultures.
- Actively engages communities and stakeholders in the development of engineering solutions.

We operate in these three primary market segments
Good Food is our mission. The world is quickly approaching the 8th billion person mark. Each and every single individual will require three square meals daily. The focus is in ensuring that food is produced safely, efficiently and with minimal waste guaranteeing productivity returns through the entire production chain.
Permaculture
Good Food
Every product has to be transported over either time and/or space. Getting products to market therefore necessitates the adhesion to product/service integrity across topographies with regards to durability, safety, timeliness, cost, environmental impact and the capacity to be augmented to suit changing mobility needs.
Mobility
Mass Transfer
Powering our activities of daily living need not be environmentally catastrophic. In fact we can do well while doing good with our planet. We countenance that your power need may fall into either of these categories design, build and augment.
