The hidden cost of poor fabrication

One failed weld or incorrect tolerance can shut your entire operation for days – or longer.

Production halts – a single cracked duct or misaligned module stops everything.

Mines lose R500K – R1 million per day; chemical plants even more.

Regulatory fines and shutdowns – poorly made parts leak dust or gases, triggering immediate enforcement notices and forced stoppages.

Rework and delays – off-site fabricators send parts that don’t fit, forcing expensive field modifications and weeks of lost time.

When fabrication goes wrong, you don’t just pay for new metal – you pay for lost production, penalties, and damage to your reputation that can last years…

How In-House Fabrication Solves Your Toughest Problems

We take full control from concept to completion, ensuring your systems run smoothly without costly surprises.

1

Consult and design

Our experts dive into your specific process needs and site details to craft precise 3D models that you review and approve before any cutting begins.

2

Precision cutting

Using advanced CNC lasers and plasma tools, we achieve tight tolerances of ±1 mm on sheets up to 20 mm thick, guaranteeing parts that align perfectly every time.

3

Expert welding

Skilled and coded welders create seamless, leak-proof joints fully tested to international standards like ASME and EN, all under our strict in-house oversight.

4

Rigorous quality control

We conduct comprehensive pressure, dimensional, and leak checks on-site before dispatching, so your components arrive ready for quick installation and immediate reliable performance.

Types Of Fabrication

Stainless Steel Fabrication

Stainless Steel Fabrication

We craft components from grades like 3CR12, 304, 316 and 410 that stand up to harsh chemicals and heat in your pollution control systems. Each piece gets precise cuts and welds right here in our shop. You end up with fittings that won’t corrode or fail when it matters most.

This approach keeps your scrubbers and ducts running smoothly for years. It’s all about reliability in tough spots like chemical plants. No surprises, just solid performance.

Maximum Temperature: Up to 1000 °C in continuous service
Typical Applications:
  • Wet gas scrubbers
  • Pharmaceutical air handlers
  • Chlorine processing units
  • Corrosive dust extractors

Mild Steel Fabrication

Mild Steel Fabrication

For heavy-duty jobs, we use various grades of mild steel that handles abrasion and impacts in mining setups. We have the ability to add protective coatings to fight rust and wear.

Ideal for big structures where weight and strength count. You get parts that bolt together fast and hold up under daily grind.

Maximum Thickness: Up to 30 mm in heavy fabrication
Typical Applications:
  • Mine dust collectors
  • Cyclone separators
  • Structural frames
  • Large exhaust ducts
