Corrosion is one of the leading causes of deterioration in aboveground storage tanks, pipework, and industrial steel structures. Without proper protection, corrosion can compromise structural integrity, reduce asset lifespan, increase maintenance costs, and create significant operational and environmental risks.
AM Steelwork provides surface preparation, sandblasting, coating, and corrosion protection services designed to protect valuable infrastructure and maximise long-term asset performance.
Our experienced teams deliver high-quality corrosion control services for petroleum terminals, fuel depots, storage facilities, and industrial operations throughout Southern Africa.
Effective corrosion protection starts with proper surface preparation. We provide abrasive blasting services that remove rust, scale, old coatings, and contaminants to create the ideal surface for protective coatings and lining systems.
Our surface preparation services include:
We apply high-performance protective coatings and lining systems designed to shield steel surfaces from corrosion, environmental exposure, and operational wear.
Our services include :
Selecting the right system for each operating environment helps prevent corrosion, improve durability, and extend asset lifespan, while reducing maintenance requirements and supporting long-term operational reliability.
Safe access is essential for construction, maintenance, inspection, and repair activities. AM Steelwork provides scaffolding systems that support a wide range of projects across petroleum terminals and industrial facilities.
Our scaffolding services support:
All scaffolding systems are erected with safety, stability, and compliance as top priorities.
Different surfaces face different threats. Internal surfaces contend with stored products and constant immersion; external surfaces face moisture, chemical exposure, coastal salt, and harsh weather. We assess each surface and apply the protection system suited to its specific operating conditions, reducing long-term deterioration and improving asset reliability.
Corrosion can develop gradually and often remains unnoticed until significant damage has occurred.
Proactive corrosion management helps organisations:
Investing in preventative protection today can prevent costly repairs and asset replacement in the future.
Our corrosion protection services support:
We understand the demanding conditions faced by industrial facilities and provide protection designed to perform in challenging environments.
With a heritage dating back to 1979, we understand the importance of protecting critical petroleum and industrial assets from corrosion and deterioration.
Our skilled teams follow proven preparation and application procedures to ensure durable, long-lasting results.
Every project is executed in accordance with strict safety standards and industry best practices.
We don't simply apply coatings; we provide protection designed to maximise infrastructure lifespan and reduce future maintenance requirements.
