QU I Z M ichael McIntosh was over the moon when he learned that he had won SAICE’s Know Your Sector competition. Michael has been a Civil Technologist at Inani Infrastructure in Durbanville for just over two years, following a lengthy stint at Zutari. His key areas of interest are bulk earthworks, road design, and storm- water reticulation and management. He enjoys reading up on water and wastewater treatment plant processes and the latest development therein and watching the latest videos on the B1M YouTube channel. Michael’s working experience has been fairly broad, having been involved in everything from the construction of PV plants in the Northern Cape and Free State, to asset management surveys in Namibia and the Western Cape, and various bulk earthworks, roads and civil services designs across Africa, the Middle East and New Zealand. “I enjoy the daily challenges and it’s great to work in an industry where you can see your hard work materialise into the physical – to see the roads and services come into fruition and function,” he says about working in the civil engi- neering profession. Michael is also a keen trail runner and hiker, and him and a friend lead a regular social hiking group called Cape Hikes. In addition, he enjoys obstacle course racing and reads the occasional fantasy novel. More importantly, as of the last six months Michael is an excited new dad. About to get married, Michael says the R10 000 prize money will allow him and his partner a bit more flexibility with some of the “nice to haves” for their wed- ding day and honeymoon.  Another lucky reader wins R10 000
