Where we work
Industries we serve
Wherever steel meets the elements, you'll find Makhaya. Our crews operate across heavy industry — adapting our processes, materials and access methods to suit each unique environment.
Construction
Industrial lining and coating, passive fireproofing and structural steel protection for new-build and renovation projects, delivered with our own scaffolding and access teams.
Energy & Renewables
Wind, solar and conventional power — including automated solar panel cleaning for utility-scale PV, Thermal Metal Spray (TSA) on long-life structural steel and industrial coatings on critical plant infrastructure.
Farming & Forestry
Silos, conveyors and processing equipment kept corrosion-free with industrial lining and coating, pipeline refurbishment and HP water jetting for routine cleaning and surface preparation.
Food & Beverage
Hygienic tank linings and food-safe coatings for processing and storage facilities, with HP and UHP water jetting for in-place cleaning and insulation, lagging and cladding on process pipework.
Manganese
Heavy-duty abrasion-resistant industrial coatings and Thermal Metal Spray (TSA) for chutes, screens and ore handling structures, delivered with our scaffolding and access crews.
Mining
Plant refurbishment with tank linings and protective coatings, acid lining and bricking on smelter and electrowinning equipment, HP/UHP water jetting for surface prep, and full scaffolding and rope access for shutdowns. Our Zambia operation supports copper-belt mines in-country.
Paper & Pulp
Acid-resistant linings and brick lining, process-tank refurbishment with industrial coatings, and robotic sludge cleaning for digester and effluent vessels.
Petro-Chemical Refineries
Storage tanks, pipeline fabrication and linings, columns and structural coatings during shutdowns, with passive fireproofing, insulation and cladding and dedicated scaffolding and access supplied under one safety plan.
Sewerage & Waste
Specialist linings for digesters, treatment tanks and effluent infrastructure, acid-resistant brick systems where chemistry demands it, robotic sludge cleaning of basins and ponds, and pipeline fabrication and Denso wrapping of sewer mains.
Steel & Metal
Mill maintenance, roof and side sheeting refurbishment, protective coating systems and Thermal Metal Spray (TSA) on long-life structures, with asbestos abatement where legacy materials need to come off first.
