Salt Contractors provides on-site steel modifications to adapt, strengthen, or extend existing frameworks. This includes reinforcing structures to support increased loads, modifying platforms for new equipment layouts, and upgrading older installations to meet current compliance standards. Our modification services allow clients to maximize the life of existing assets, reducing downtime and costs associated with full replacements. Every modification is performed with the same safety and quality standards applied to new builds.

• Strengthening load-bearing frames
• Extending platforms for new equipment
• Retrofitting old steel structures to new standards
• Adding safety barriers or guardrails
• Modifying layouts for plant expansion
• Reinforcing structures against higher capacity loads

Salt Contractors conducts hydrostatic pressure testing on every fabricated spool to guarantee system reliability before delivery. This process ensures components can withstand operating pressures, preventing leaks or failures in the field. Testing in-house reduces downtime, improves quality control, and assures clients of compliance with ISO, ASME, and SANS standards.

• Pressure testing for high-pressure pipelines
• Verification of spool integrity prior to installation
• Leak detection under controlled test conditions
• Certification reports for client quality records

Our sandblasting services remove rust, mill scale, coatings, and contaminants, leaving a clean and uniform surface for further treatment. This process improves adhesion for coatings and paints, while also extending the life of steel structures in harsh environments.

• Rust and scale removal from steel beams
• Cleaning of tanks, frames, and piping prior to painting
• Abrasive blasting for weld joints and repairs
• Surface prep for petrochemical and mining plant structures

We apply specialized industrial coatings that resist corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure. Coatings are selected based on project needs and environmental conditions, ensuring long-term durability. Salt Contractors follows strict specifications and application standards to ensure safety and consistency.
