Manufacturing Facilities

The operation is split into two distinct areas of manufacture. The Standard Products shop caters for the manufacture, repair and reconditioning of shell and tube heat exchangers, finned tube air-cooled heat exchangers, pressure vessels and distillation columns for the chemical and petrochemical industries. These products are manufactured in carbon steel, stainless steel and various exotic materials. A designated clean area for the manufacture of high pressure heat exchangers, using the latest technology for internal bore welding of tubes to tubesheets, is in place.

The second manufacturing area is a batch production operation, which involves the manufacture and supply of specialised galvanised air-cooled condenser bundles for direct steam condensing systems to the local power generation and export markets.

Total undercover manufacturing area: 11 400m² . 
Total plot area: 21 500 m².
Maximum crane capacity: 70 t.
