With a 96-year global heritage and international experience to call on, DEKRA Industrial RSA has established a reputation as a leader in inspection services, non-destructive testing (NDT), material testing, laboratory services, advanced NDT, expert appraisals, international claims management, certification, asset integrity services and industry training. Although we are supported by the global DEKRA Group — which currently maintains a presence in over 50 counties across 5 continents — DEKRA Industrial RSA also has vast local expertise, reputation and credibility built over the past 38 years, with extensive experience within Southern Africa and pan-Africa, having completed numerous milestone projects on the continent in that time.

DEKRA Industrial is committed to developing our African footprint/presence and we have a registered, legal presence in Northern Mozambique for the LNG Project in the Cabo Delgado Province - DEKRA Industrial Inspection LDA.

What we do

NDT entails a variety of non-invasive inspection methods to assess material characteristics, components, or whole process units, including discerning and measuring damage to mechanisms and structures. NDT and inspection can be conducted during or after manufacture, or even on equipment that is operational. Within manufacturing, NDT inspections assess if parts/structures are adequately equipped for a desired function.

Parts are inspected to ensure they will tolerate a given lifetime or number of cycles before failure.Therefore, depending on the scale of the fault, if inspection is undertaken by companies that are ill-equipped, uncertified or inexperienced — or any combination of these — the results could be disastrous as well as potentially hazardous to human life.

How we do it

In South Africa, DEKRA Industrial RSA has two main divisions, DEKRA Industrial and DEKRA Institute of Learning.

ISO 45001-compliant, DEKRA Industrial is the operations side of the business, ensuring that deployment of NDT and inspection equipment and resources is optimised – locally, nationally and globally – and always with safety and client service top-of-mind. Irrespective of where resources are required, DEKRA Industrial ensures the best solution is found for our clients, deploying equipment and personnel strategically and ensuring the best optimisation of assets.

CPD-approved courses are also available.

Timeline

A word from Johan Gerber

Director - DEKRA Industrial RSA

Dear valued visitor to this page, welcome to one of the ‘safest’ pages on the internet!

This has indeed been an unprecedented year, for individuals and companies and - despite the very tough challenges we have faced and overcome during this pandemic year - DEKRA Industrial RSA remains an excellent company with some solid milestones on which to report, even in these trying times.

With our 96-year-old global parent company supporting us, clients can rest assured that DEKRA Industrial has some of the most skilled and knowledgeable people onboard, ready and well-equipped to take on your project anywhere within South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.

In line with our parent company’s global vision 2025, DEKRA Industrial seeks to be ‘the global partner for a safe world’, achieving this in all the key areas of life: at work, at home and in our surrounding communities, through our extensive expertise, wide-ranging services and passionate commitment. We are furthermore supported by team of people who are dedicated to ensuring long-term safety, quality and environmental protection.

During 2020, part of our strategy was to focus on expanding our footprint into Africa and we successfully registered DEKRA Industrial Mozambique — a key base from which to target the major LNG and power generation projects in the region — and which will form an important gateway into the rest of the continent.

We have also been awarded projects in key target sectors – such as nuclear - and in addition, we won the prestigious NOSCAR safety award for the sixth consecutive year, underscoring our commitment to be the ‘heroes of safety’.

In addition to all this, DEKRA Industrial RSA achieved ISO 45001 certification in 2020, one of the few NDT and Inspection companies to attain this status.

Looking ahead
Summarised in the concept and ethos of being ‘heroes of safety’, DEKRA Industrial’s experts take a holistic approach to solutions, backed by a portfolio of services which speak to every facet of health, safety and the environment. We value collaboration and long-term relationships; and, as such, we work closely with clients to design customised solutions to the challenges and concerns central to their businesses.

While we will continue to offer our conventional NDT services, we aim going forward to boost our Advanced NDT offering with a view not only to expanding our local footprint but our cross-border, pan-African one too. We will also continue to look for innovative opportunities where our Advanced NDT and Inspection services, facilitated and optimised by software intelligence – such as windfarm, solar and drone inspections – can be applied.

DEKRA Industrial is fully committed to becoming ‘the global partner for a safe world’; and look forward in part, to sharing that journey with you, our existing and potential client.

Please contact any one of our experts for further information and enquiries.

Warm regards
Johan
