A trusted shutdown leader
As a leading shutdown contractor in South Africa, we have over 180 highly skilled shutdown management experts who are specially trained to adhere to our shutdown culture and well established procedures.
We are commissioned to do Shutdown Management and Execution services on the Natref Inland Crude Oil Refinery for Sasol in Sasolburg, South Africa. As a local player with global reach and expertise in the industry, we did a statutory inspection, repair and refurbishment of the crude, platformer and diesel unifier units, which includes work on equipment, valves, piping and vessels.
We are in the second year, of a five year agreement, of this project scope for Sasol, and so far we have achieved a ‘decade of service excellence’ on the refinery. This year, our shutdown project team reached a consecutive 200 Perfect Days without any injuries.
Over the last decade, the site has seen many changes and our continued work with the Natref team has helped us to develop a great relationship, meaning we can work even closer with our client and support with solutions for a wide range of areas. This has enabled us to build and solidify our partnerships, thus being recognised as the biggest shutdown and maintenance contractor in South Africa. We operate in all major industrial centres of South Africa including Secunda, Sasolburg, Durban, Mosselbay and Cape Town
