We specialise in the production of many of these gases:

  • Oil
  • Compressed Natural Gas (CNG),
  • Liquified Natural Gas (LNG)
  • Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG)
  • Hydrogen

INSPECTIONS AND AUDITS

We perform regular inspections and maintenance to minimise costly unplanned downtime. To aid clients in their efforts to maintain their installations and remain in compliance with all applicable SANS and Occupational Health and Safety codes, we conduct triannual and annual compliance audits in the form of close, visual, and detailed inspections of both new and existing equipment. If unanticipated failures arise on site, we will draw upon our extensive knowledge and experience to assist with any documentation, maintenance, or repair work.

  • Site supervision
  • Quality assurance
  • Quality control
  • Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT)
  • Site Acceptance Tests (SAT)

CONTROL AND COMMUNICATION

We’ll help you migrate your system in phases to minimise disruption and limit downtime, while managing costs effectively. Our control systems experts will first assess your needs to produce a design specification that meets your project’s requirements.
