ABOUT USBelmet 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.

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 pre-fabrication 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 customer-owned 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.

BELMET HISTORY: since 1968

Message from the Managing Director

The ongoing stabilisation of the international political environment and the major foreign investment in the offshore oil and gas and mining industries within West as well as East Africa has created many business opportunities for local and international companies. With this in mind, I believe that Belmet, with bases in Cape Town (South Africa), Walvis Bay (Namibia) and Accra (Ghana), is ideally positioned to play an active role in these technologically advancing sectors.

The deepwater exploration and development frontier is relatively new for the oil and gas industry and the material requirements – as drilling goes deeper and operation efficiencies are required to be more cost-conscious – are becoming evermore specialised and challenging. As leaders in the local fabrication industry, we have positioned ourselves to take advantage of the changes in the market place and have entered into formal alliances to offer our customers a more comprehensive service. We have identified the supply of subsea structures, high pressure piping and fittings as well as the fabrication of structures requiring more exotic materials, as key competitive growth areas. These new technological developments similarly offer us the opportunity to develop the skills of our own staff by learning from our partners and to further boost the transfer of skills within Africa. Similarly, the demand for mining products has escalated and the development of new mines throughout resources-rich Africa offers huge potential for the sophisticated fabrication of structures to support these endeavours. Belmet has identified this sector as a growth point and has recently opened a fabrication facility in Namibia and has also registered a company in Ghana to target future opportunities in these countries.Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ) Management are of paramount importance to us at Belmet and we will endeavour to minimise our overall risk to a practically acceptable level. We will conform to all legal requirements (both local and international); abide by customer guidelines; report on all incidents; and continuously strive for an ongoing improvement in all aspects of our business – to the betterment of our customers, employees, communities, environment, and country.

Belmet aims to be the most respected Cape Town-based engineering company servicing West Africa by adhering to the following tenets:

Ô Treating all our customers with honesty, integrity and displaying a passion for their business

Ô Developing the skills of our employees, so that they grow experientially and contribute positively to their communities.

Ô Displaying excellence in all aspects of what we do, how we do it and what we say.

Ô Creating wealth for all our stakeholders (suppliers, customers, employees and shareholders) through the development of long-term and mutually beneficial relationships.

Ô Employing sound management practices in all decision-making including employment equity, succession planning and skills development in a socially responsible manner.

THE BELMET LOGO not only signifies the values of the company but epitomises its strength and character.

Ô The three points of the concave triangle indicate the values that we espouse – honesty, transparency and integrity.

Ô The gears are synonymous with our mechanical engineering background and also reflect that our staff understand their role as important cogs in the Belmet machine.

Ô The flat face of the sword reflects our commitment to being at the cutting edge of technology and business development.

Ô The blue of the Belmet name reflects our marine connection. Ô All the outlines of the logo are clearly defined and distinct displaying the quality on which Belmet was built.

The Belmet DifferenceUnlike traditional companies, Belmet has a flat hands-on management structure which means that every Project Manager is personally involved in all aspects of each project – from the quotation to design to fabrication to installation and commissioning.

All personnel are completely customer-focused and service-oriented; and we pride ourselves in our ability to deliver to their exacting requirements.

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.
