A leading name in the sale and rental of welding, rigging and construction-related equipment recently concluded a turnkey project for Sappi’s Ngodwana Mill ‘GoCell’ Project. The expansion project consisted of a complete new fibre line for the manufacture of Specialised Cellulose, together with upgrades to the evaporator and the pulp drying plant.

Renttech was a strategic supply partner to the majority of Sappi’s contractors on the project. The company supplied and managed the complete scope of plant and equipment, as well as consumable requirements to the mechanical and piping contractors. Renttech also provided the complete on-site supply solutions for all contractors working on this project, says Mornay Nortje, Projects Manager at Renttech SA.

The company supplied, managed and maintained a tailored rental welding package solution for project GoCell. The total welding solution consisted of UniArc HF Tig Inverter welding machines and WeldcraftTig torches, as well as specialised stainless steel Lincoln welding electrodes and Tig wires as consumable requirements.

They also supplied all rigging, power tool, power distribution and specialised construction equipment, as well as all personal protective equipment related items.

Nortje says the presence of the Renttech team on-site to ensure all equipment and stock was supplied on time minimised down-time for Sappi, thereby managing and minimising project costs.

“Our skills in machine repair and experience in stock planning meant that we were able to offer a reliable one-stop turnkey service for Sappi, contributing to the successful completion of this major project,” concludes Renttech SA Managing Director Gerrit van Zyl.
