Fabrication & Infrastructure
The Challenge
- Access & safety risks from non-compliant platforms, ladders, and guarding
- Downtime caused by poor fitment or rework on site
- Coatings that fail in dust, heat, or corrosive atmosphere
- No drawings/QA docs \u2192 sign-off delays and insurance issues
- Slow lead times for custom parts (transitions, frames, enclosures)
Our Approach
Avux provides an end-to-end service: site measurement, engineering drawings, fabrication, protective coatings, and installation. We build platforms, ladders, handrails, guarding, skids, duct transitions, and equipment enclosures that fit first time – with QA packs, load ratings, and compliance to SANS/ISO.
Platforms & Walkways
Access platforms, stairs, handrails, and grating per SANS – engineered for load and clearances to improve safe access.

FAQs – Fabrication & Infrastructure
Yes – GA/detail drawings and load calculations are included, with stamped calculations where required by regulation or insurer.
Typically hot-dip galvanizing plus an epoxy/polyurethane topcoat; we specify systems based on environment class and client standards.
Lead times depend on scope – typically 2–6 weeks from approved drawings, with rapid-response kits available on request.
Yes – we manage method statements, hot-work permits, lift plans, and provide qualified installation and rigging crews.
Yes – paint specifications, RAL codes, labeling, and tagging are matched to your plant standards and documentation requirements.
