Our Boiler & Industrial Heat Exchanger Solutions

Process & Mechanical Design

With decades of in-house design and engineering experience in power generation and steam reticulation, our highly skilled engineering teams ensure optimised heat exchanger designs for highly efficient water tube boilers and heat exchange boilers.

  • Design of boiler, high-pressure, T-pieces piping, process equipment & spare parts
  • Specialised design of fired & unfired pressure parts
  • Numerical analysis of thermal & energy systems
  • Computational fluid dynamic analysis
  • Incident investigation & root-cause analyses
  • Design reviews & implementation
  • Execution of plant audits

Fabrication

Our Oerlikon automatic welding, PEMA submerged arc welding , and Cojafex induction bending* machines are unique to the continent and enable us to deliver welding and pipe bending services quickly and precisely.

  • Oerlikon automated welding from 22 mm to 60 mm inside diameter X 3 mm to 5 mm wall thickness for IBW (Inner bore welding). Submerged arc welding for solid stubs under 22 mm outside diameter (OD)
  • Induction bending from 116 mm OD X 7 mm wall thickness up to 800 mm OD X 80 mm wall thickness
  • Additional 3 CNC hydraulic pipe bending machines & an numerically controlled hydraulic pipe bending machine cold bending from 22mm OD X 3 mm wall thickness up to 101 mm OD X 12 mm wall thickness
  • 3D bending
  • Post-weld heat treatment, which is crucial to the quality & integrity of heat exchanger tubing
  • Corrosion protection

* Our Cojafex induction bending machine is the only one of its kind in Africa!

3D Modelling for Heat Exchangers

Our heat exchangers are modelled using three-dimensional (3D) software, allowing us to increase design accuracy and reduce design turnaround times and costs. Designing a heat exchanger with our state-of-the-art design software offers numerous advantages and replaces traditional processes.

  • Easy parametric modelling in AutoCAD
  • Accurate drawings with bill of materials, achieving precise pricing at the design stage
  • Generation of heat exchangers with the least possible amount of materials
  • Multiple designs identify the most cost-effective version while in the tendering phase
  • Designs can be manufactured with fast turnaround times

Construction & Maintenance

Using suitable cranes, equipment, and expert construction engineers for erection, we complete the required preparation and tests before your boilers and heat exchangers are built. We additionally offer the full spectrum of planned and unplanned maintenance operations including boiler maintenance.

  • 3D computer modelling of siteworks
  • Balanced erection of pipes & pipe systems
  • Elevation surveys & evaluation
  • In-house & on-site pre- and post-welding heat treatment for heat exchanger tubing & boiler tubes
  • Life assessments
  • Engineering method statements
  • HP piping
  • Mills & coal (including coal boilers) and ash handling equipment
  • Boiler island & pressure parts (repairs & refurbishments) for boiler tube failure
  • Inspections & non-destructive testing (metallurgical replicas, Ultrasonic testing, Magnetic particle indication, PT, & XRF)
