Pre-Fabrication & Sub-Assemblies | Stainless Steel NSSC

At National Stainless Steel Centre (NSSC), pre-fabrication and sub-assemblies bring our cutting, forming, machining and welding together under one roof. Your structural sections, pipes, flanges and plate work leave our Kempton Park facility as ready-to-fit components, with less work left for site.

We build in the stainless steel grade you specify, including duplex, super duplex and special alloys, and we can source exotic materials that are hard to find locally. Every weld is made to ISO 3834 by qualified, coded welders.

Our live MRP and ERP systems track each job from material to dispatch, so your assemblies are planned with the rest of your project.

Why Choose NSSC?

One supplier for the material and the work: we stock stainless steel in all grades and process it in-house, so your parts pass between fewer hands and fewer suppliers.

Our quality system is accredited to ISO 9001 and our welding to ISO 3834, both audited by TÜV Rheinland South Africa, and our welding procedures are qualified to ASME IX and BS EN ISO 15609-1.

Custom Projects. Zero Compromise.

We work from your drawings and specifications, for a single assembly or a production run. Our process includes:

Reviewing your drawings and specifications
Sourcing the material, including exotic grades
Cutting, forming and machining every part in-house
Welding and finishing each assembly
Checking each assembly against your drawing before dispatch

Frequently asked questions

What is pre-fabrication in stainless steel?

Pre-fabrication means building components and sub-assemblies in our facility before they go to site. Parts are cut, formed, machined and welded at NSSC, so they arrive ready to fit, with less work left on site.

What can NSSC pre-fabricate?

We pre-fabricate structural sections, pipes, flanges, plate work and other stainless steel components to your drawings, from a single assembly to a production run.

Which stainless steel grades can NSSC fabricate?

We work in all stainless steel grades, including duplex, super duplex and special alloys. We can also source exotic materials that are hard to find locally.

Are NSSC sub-assemblies welded to a certified standard?

Yes. NSSC is accredited to ISO 3834 for welding quality and to ISO 9001, audited by TÜV Rheinland South Africa. Our welding procedures are qualified to ASME IX and BS EN ISO 15609-1, and our welders are qualified and coded.

What should I send for a pre-fabrication quote?

Send DXF, DWG or PDF drawings of the parts and the assembly, with the grade, quantities and any finish or inspection requirements. Email them to info@nssc.co.za, or send your details with the form on this page.

Can NSSC supply quality documents with my assemblies?

Yes. We support the preparation of quality control documents, NDT requirements and project planning, so the records your project needs come with your assemblies.
