Industrial Lining & Coating Applications

Full-spectrum coating and lining services for tanks, structural steel, pipework and process equipment.

Full-spectrum coating and lining services for tanks, structural steel, pipework and process equipment. Our applicators are SAQCC-qualified and overseen by NACE-trained coating inspectors, so every system is applied strictly to manufacturer specification — and documented for the asset register. Surface preparation is typically delivered in-house using our HP and UHP water jetting crews, and we tailor system selection to the operating environment, downtime window and design life.

Coating and lining is rarely a standalone scope. We routinely package it with industrial fireproofing on structural steel, acid lining and bricking where chemical exposure pushes beyond what paint can survive, and Thermal Metal Spray (TSA) where re-coating intervals need to stretch to 25+ years. Access is supplied by our own scaffolding and rope-access teams so the entire workfront stays under one safety plan.

Where we work & who we serve

Makhaya Corrosion Control delivers industrial lining & coating applications and the full range of industrial services across South Africa — including Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, the Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, North West, Free State and the Northern Cape — as well as cross-border into Zambia through our in-country operation, Makhaya Zambia, based on the Copperbelt and serving North-Western, Lusaka, Central and Southern provinces.

Our crews support clients in mining and minerals processing, smelters and refineries, power generation, oil, gas and petrochemical, chemical and fertiliser plants, pulp and paper, water and wastewater, cement and lime, sugar and food processing, steel and heavy manufacturing, and renewable energy — from routine maintenance to full plant shutdowns.
