Marthinusen & Coutts secures Sasol repair contracts
May 2016
News
Actom Group division, Marthinusen & Coutts, has secured three separate contracts from Sasol for the repair of low voltage motors, the repair of medium voltage motors up to 1 MW and the repair of medium voltage motors from 1 to 5 MW.
According to Richard Botton, managing director of Marthinusen & Coutts, the company has a reputation for its technical ability and the provision of a superior quality and service, and the award of these contracts is testament to its extensive capabilities. “Marthinusen & Coutts has worked with Sasol for many years and is regarded by the organisation as a highly competent and technically qualified OEM repairer.”
The company underwent a lengthy prequalification stage where its facilities in Cleveland were audited for quality, as well as technical capability and capacity. “Our ability to comply with Sasol’s demanding specifications and to render complex repairs in accordance with the necessary quality was a big differentiator for us. We can leverage an impressive 57 years of industry experience in both the local and global market as Africa’s largest medium voltage machine repairer,” adds Botton.
With five production workshops under roof in southern Africa, Marthinusen & Coutts is conveniently located to provide customers with a fast turnaround on all machine repairs and upgrades.
“In addition, we offer an extensive aftermarket service covering all industries and providing a comprehensive electrical and mechanical repair service solution on rotating machines as a single service provider, and repair and manufacture of electric motors and components. This 24/7 service includes both large and small AC and DC motors, flameproof motors, traction motors and power generators up to 980 MW as well as all rotating mechanical equipment. Our offering includes customised manufacture and design, on-site engineering services and unique motor management solutions that complement the repair business. All these elements combined together provide Sasol with the confidence that its repairs are in capable hands,” concludes Botton.
