About Dontech
Dontech Engineering Specialists was established to support industries in South Africa that are facing challenging conditions in the tough economic climate. A significant reduction in skills and knowledge has been evident across the country, and businesses are finding it difficult to find the right personnel for the job.
This has resulted in employees across many organisations being stretched too thin and unable to deal with the design, regulatory, and health and safety pressures continuously placed upon them. Dontech Engineering Specialists takes away the stresses linked to regulatory requirements, inspections, and designs across a wide range of industries by providing a reliable and trustworthy service.
Where larger companies have high overhead costs that are transferred onto customers, Dontech deliberately structures its business model to enable low cost, high quality, and flexible capabilities to assist companies and clients that need resolutions to problems they face.
Although Dontech specialises in storage tank inspections, storage tank design, hazardous area classifications, fire-fighting system inspections and designs, and pressure vessel designs, we also offer auxiliary services such as custom mechanical designs, conveyor inspections and servicing, and equipment inspections in hazardous locations. Our services are rooted in our vast knowledge of Occupational Health and Safety Act requirements.
Dontech was founded by Donovan Cawdry, who has worked for many years in the petroleum industry. Being a certified Professional Engineer, a certified API653 Tank Inspector, and having an in-depth knowledge of the OHS Act and Regulations, Donovan’s vision was to assist various industries with a cost-effective service which takes headaches away from those who are stretched too thin in their companies and gives them peace of mind with quality service.
Dontech is based in Durban but provides services to all industries within South Africa and neighbouring countries.
If you need assistance regarding inspections, designs, storage tanks, fire fighting systems, pressure vessels, or hazardous area classifications, contact us with your query, and we will respond to you for further information or to set up a site meeting.
