Kira Valves & Engineering, a Black Youth Owned and Black Women Empowered, BBBEE Level 1 Company, was established in 2005. Our committed team specialises in valve refurbishment, on-site services and fabrication services to the engineering industry. We provide market-leading products, services & solutions for the most challenging applications and simultaneously succeed in supporting our client to keep their maintenance costs to a minimum whilst maintaining an excellent turnaround time.
We believe that we are the most diversified valve and engineering business in South Africa. Our processes are controlled and co-ordinated by our ISO 9001:2015, OHSAS 18001:2007 and ISO 3834 Standard Management Systems which measure our quality, delivery and safety principles. Kira Valves & Engineering are Eskom Level 1 accredited which allows us to work on high pressure systems.
Excellent facilities at our 4200m2 solar-powered workshop in Benrose enable us to cope with even the largest valves in use today. We are fully equipped to refurbish most makes, types and sizes up to 3 meters of low, medium and high pressure valves. Our premises consist of a valve refurbishing facility which consists of stripping, sandblasting, machining, welding, assembly, testing and spraying services.
Replacing faulty or poorly performing valves can be expensive and not always necessary. Up to 90% of all valves can be refurbished at considerable savings when compared to purchasing a new unit. The client on average saves 40% in comparison to the cost of a new valve. Our expertise in the valve industry means we have the most experienced teams able to repair valves. Kira Valves & Engineering can collect, repair and return faulty valves to its original condition by applying either the clients’ specifications or working to local and international standards. Valve failure can cause of millions of Rands worth of lost production every year. Yet a preventative maintenance programme of valve repair could essentially eliminate this costly, inefficient and potentially hazardous problem. Planned maintenance is obviously the most efficient way to avoid disruption to your plant. However, sudden breakdowns will always occur. Our response teams are on 24 hour call out, and will work around the clock when necessary to get a plant operational. Alternatively, faulty valves may be removed for complete refurbishment and testing in our workshops before reinstalling in line.
Our refurbishment experience and resources also allow us to repair a range of valves on site. Our site teams offer on-site based support during prolonged periods of shut downs or maintenance. Both our onsite and workshop based teams offer a fast reaction service to minimise any disruption to process. Our skilled teams can carry out a comprehensive overhaul of all valve types.
We can mobilise skilled site teams to site at short notice to perform various tasks including, but not limited to: emergency valve repairs, site surveys, diagnostics of valve issues and shutdown support services.
Our engineers ensure that each valve is stripped, quality assessed for condition and rebuilt, returning the valve to a specification equal to or higher than that of a new unit. All units are then tested in house to meet our strict approval process.
