Steel Fabrication — Stainless & Mild Steel

Custom stainless steel and mild steel fabrication for industrial applications across South Africa. From precision
process components to structural platforms, walkways, and access bridges — fabricated to your exact specifications.

Precision Steel Fabrication for Industrial Applications

At Smitson Engineering CC, our fabrication capability is at the core of everything we do. Whether we're manufacturing a 75kW evaporator, a custom heat exchanger, or a structural walkway bridge for a wine cellar — every item is fabricated with the same attention to detail and commitment to quality.

We work with stainless steel (304 and 316 grades) and mild steel, and our fabrication is supported by certified high-pressure welding — ensuring every component meets the required mechanical and safety standards.

Custom Fabrication

What We Fabricate

Stainless Steel Fabrication (SS 304 & 316)

Precision stainless steel fabrication for food processing, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. 316 SS for maximum corrosion resistance; 304 SS for general hygienic applications. All fabricated to food safety standards.

Mild Steel Structural Fabrication

Structural mild steel fabrication for industrial frameworks, mezzanine floors, platforms, stairways, handrail systems, equipment supports, and bespoke industrial structures — designed for the South African industrial environment.

Bridge & Walkway Fabrication

Custom-designed and fabricated walkway bridges for industrial and agricultural facilities — including our notable bridge fabricated and installed for a Western Cape winery, providing safe pedestrian access over production areas.

Tanks & Vessels

Custom tanks, sumps, hotwell tanks, and pressure vessels fabricated in stainless steel or mild steel. From simple storage tanks to complex multi-chamber pressure vessels — designed to specification and certified where required.

Process Equipment & Components

Custom fabrication of heat exchangers, headers, manifolds, plenums, hoppers, chutes, and other bespoke process equipment components — engineered to your drawings or designed by our team.

Conveyor & Handling Structures

Fabrication of structural supports, frames, and enclosures for conveyor and materials handling systems — including coal and ash handling infrastructure for boiler operations.

What We Fabricate

316 Stainless Steel

The preferred grade for aggressive environments. The molybdenum content provides superior resistance to pitting corrosion from chlorides and other industrial chemicals.

304 Stainless Steel

The most widely used austenitic stainless steel — excellent corrosion resistance, hygienic surface finish, and cost-effective for food and general industrial applications.
