LEADING EDGE ENGINEERING

ABOUT US Belmet is a diversified steel fabricator operating in the oil and gas, diamond mining, mineral processing and marine industries, in both local and international markets.

We provide steel fabrication of offshore structures for the oil and gas industry for, amongst others, rigs, drill ships and subsea structures, as well as high pressure piping and general fabrication work.

Belmet also handles general engineering, equipment rental and project management services for a growing base of international customers.

Our ability to meet all delivery deadlines; to manufacture to stringent international specifications; and the business philosophy of honesty, integrity and transparency sets Belmet apart from other companies.

& Mission

BELMET HISTORY: since 1968 Belmet was established in 1968 in Bellville, Cape Town, as a general engineering fabricator focusing predominantly on the construction materials industry. Over the years, and on an annual basis, we have grown organically as the local market transformed and expanded at a relatively marginal rate. Shifting into the maritime market

Belmet’s main focus, however, shifted to the marine industry in 1990 in response to an identified need for technologically adaptive suppliers. This meant that the traditional ship repair business was circumvented and prefabrication of large structures became the norm at Belmet. Traditionally the ship repair companies had focused on ad hoc in-situ repairs, which required a presence in the Cape Town Docks,but Belmet decided to pre-fabricate in their Bellville factory and to install new structures on customerowned vessels, once these vessels docked in the harbour. This advanced approach to the marine industry in Cape Town, initially, enabled Belmet to become leaders in the use of CAD-software (3-D CAD and 3-D AutoShip) within the local ship repair industry. The acquisition of these design capabilities allowed Belmet to model structural designs and to thereby identify potential pitfalls before the physical fabrication process commenced. These savings in workshop man-hours ensured Belmet was able to offer shorter lead-time deliveries and absolute accuracy of manufacture, eliminating time-consuming on-site modifications. Subsea fabrication

In 2005, Belmet ventured into the subsea fabrication industry and, following the successful delivery of seven Manifolds for Subsea 7 on the PetroSA South Coast Gas Development Project in late 2006, further contracts were secured through Subsea 7 on the ExxonMobil Saxi Batuque Project and on the Chevron Tombua Landana Project.

The thrust into this high-tech fabrication sector has firmly placed Belmet in the international subsea fabrication arena and further growth opportunities within West Africa are being pursued. Developing a presence in Walvis Bay

In 2010 Belmet opened a fully fledged fabrication facility in Walvis Bay, Namibia. This development was a result of customer requests, close proximity to West African (especially Angola) markets and the current expansion of Walvis Bay to cater for the offshore oil and gas, marine, industrial and mining sectors. In addition we noticed a shift in customer patterns from Cape Town to Walvis Bay. Our premise was that the excellent operating model in Cape Town could be easily replicated where the customers wanted Belmet to offer its services; i.e. for the marine, offshore oil and gas, mining and industrial sectors. The Namibian government has also identified the offshore oil and gas industry as a significant factor in the future growth of Walvis Bay and to this end have provided and earmarked some excellent facilities for companies operating in the port area. Similar to the existing Belmet model, a flat management structure, coupled with a hands-on approach is being implemented to allow for a transfer of skills from Belmet’s project management team and experienced artisans to the local Namibian artisans and operators. Reputation for technical expertise

Today ISO-listed Belmet is highly regarded within the oil, gas, diamond and mineral processing industries as a technically competent, progressive and hands-on fabrication company manufacturing to DNV, Lloyds, AWS, ASME and EN specifications. The list of international customers continues to grow as Belmet demonstrates ongoing and progressive technical capability within the West African Oil and Gas industry.

Our experienced team of youthful engineers is able to adopt new technology and constantly reviews all practices and procedures. By adopting new methods of design or fabrication we can offer valuable input at the front end engineering and design stage. Using flux-cored welding as our preferred method we offer increased levels of productivity that allows for improved fabrication and delivery lead times.

ÔÔ Treating all our customers with

honesty, integrity and displaying a passion for their business

ÔÔ Developing the skills of our

employees, so that they grow experientially and contribute positively to their communities.

DNV Offshore Containers Belmet manufactures a full range of Det Norske Veritas (DNV)-certified containers, gas cylinder racks, pipe handling baskets and tank containers for use in the offshore industry. All containers are certified by DNV to ensure compliance with DNV 2.7-1, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Circular 860 and to EN 12079 as well as the European Standard for Offshore Containers. Offshore containers designed, approved, fabricated and tested to DNV certification gain worldwide acceptance by all regulatory authorities, offshore operators and supply vessel companies.

In line with the Luanda Protocol, which stipulates that all containers operated offshore Angola must conform to EN 12079 or DNV 2.7-1, Belmet has positioned itself as the major South African company supplying offshore containers into West Africa. Belmet has designed a lifting-frame to accommodate uncertified containers. This means that customers that have noncertified containers can still handle these safely offshore, by simply placing their 3 metre or 6 metre containers in this liftingframe.
