Mazolutions is a South African based company that services both the local and international market. Mazolutions is a specialist welding solutions company.

For the past 25years our applications have been aimed at speeding up production, improving quality and increasing overall profitability.

Applying mechanised applications, we have helped businesses in different sectors solve the greatest challenge of all,
TIME EQUALS MONEY!

We have solved challenges in many industries,
Shipping
Pipe fabrication
Bulk Storage Tank
Power Generation
Heavy Fabrication
Paper and Pulp
Oil & Gas

As we have successfully assisted many companies with changing the way they do business, we have decided to focus our attention on doing these applications within our own business, directly to the end-user. A decision that was easy to make, as we have had to do the installation and commissioning of all the applications we supplied, provide training to our customers staff, and qualify the procedures for the applications.

The international relationships we have, allows us to be at the forefront of technology. Building the relationships locally has allowed us to bring a combination of machining and welding to the industry. We are capable of doing a range of on-site applications together with workshop machining and welding, with an overhead crane capacity of 40ton. 

It all started in the dockyards 25years ago. We brought products in to deliver a better quality and higher deposition rates assisting with quicker delivery! It was at this stage that we realised the need for advanced applications in the fabrication and welding industry.

165 tons of plate material replaced on this vessel with cored wires that were 3 times faster than stick electrodes! We were appointed as the sub-contractor on this vessel.

An opportunity in Oil and Gas presented itself at a refinery in Secunda.

This application was done using Bug-O equipment together with Lincoln Electric welding equipment and consumables. Many hours were saved and the turn-around time to get the unit back into service was significant. Stocking these products to support this project helped us expand our focus.

Many weld failures are caused by stop/starts. That problem was addressed using mechanised equipment on these 9m long vertical welds with a material thickness of 28mm

The demand for submerged arc welding grew rapidly. We assisted with double sided beam welding, horizontal submerged arc welding, tandem arc and twin arc cladding.

Horizontal submerged-arc welding done with Bug-O equipment. The vessel could be welded in position, with this application the unit was returned to service 46 days earlier than expected.

7m diameter gas storage vessels, built in Secunda, using the submerged arc tandem application. Delivery of these products were well within the scheduled date, repair rate was minimal and deposition rates were higher than single wire welding.

Bulk storage fuel tank fabrication became a big focus for us, bringing new equipment and applications to the industry, together with our supply partners.

 We were the first company to supply EGW technology in South Africa. This is the first completed weld done on site in Durban at the Island View site. It took a welder an average of two days to complete this 22mm thick and 2400mm long weld, using 3,2mm LH electrodes This technology did the same weld in 24minutes. A welder and his assistant did 9 vertical welds in an eight hour shift.

The solutions we provided for tank fabrication included, EGW for the vertical welds that could weld carbon steel up to 40mm thick in a single pass. Single and double sided girth welding, together with floor and floor to shell submerged arc welding solutions. Hydraulic tank jacking solutions were also available with a 3m single stroke.

Our signature project, the largest weld overlay project in our country at the time and we are very proud of being a contributor to the success story.

Lincoln Electric STT was used to do this root weld. Vertical welds performed with our Lincoln Electric Powerwave machines, flux-cored wires and Bug-O crawlers. 100% X-ray pass and much faster due to single sided welding!

The base of a tower crane, on a ship, was cut out and welded back into position, using Bug-O equipment.

Bug-O crawlers are used on many of our applications to produce high quality cuts and welds. Consistent weave patterns are easy to achieve using weavers, where permitted, on some welding applications.

X-ray quality work done using pipe manipulators and pipe idlers to do the root, filler and capping. This application proved to be five times faster than their conventional methods.

With our workshop machining partners we can do internal welding and machining, ranging from 250mm -1200mm diameter and a maximum length of 12m, not exceeding 40ton

External welding and machining. Ranging from 40mm – 1,2m. A maximum length of 12m and not exceeding 40ton.

Our on-site machining partners have a wide range of machining options available

With many years of experience in doing procedure development and qualifications, we develop and qualify all our own procedures , within our facility. We work closely with a laboratory in our area and have a welding engineer within our business framework.

Here are samples of plate material, pre machined, welded and laboratory tested. Tensile strength test together with Charpy V Notch testing, for impact results on low temperature applications were performed and achieved.
