About Us
The firm CARIFRO Consulting Engineers cc is the amalgamation of the old established Partnership of Gardner and Carpenter and the firm of Adams and Frost.
Adams & Frost was founded in 1987 after David Frost and Barry Adams relinquished their directorships of 8 years with a multi disciplinary practice. In 1990 Barry Adams left the firm. This led to the amalgamation with Gardner & Carpenter to form CARIFRO Consulting Engineers. Michele Rivarola became a co-founder of the new firm.
In our ongoing pursuit of our Black empowerment goals, we have sponsored the Technikon education of a number of young Black engineering technologists. Presently HDI members now own 51% of our practice. The founding members retain 49% of the shareholding.
Our combined staff complement consists of 3 professional engineers, 2 Professional Technologists, 6 diploma and 2 B.Tech Eng. engineers, 5 technicians and draughtsmen and 8 administrative personnel. A further number of site staff varying between 5 and 10 are employed on a per project basis.
