Kathu Industrial sits on the N14 and R380, so our Kathu dispatch reaches most Kathu Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency freezer room construction runs 24/7 because moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade.

Every freezer room construction job closes with a pressure test record and gas handling Certificate of Conformance issued under SANS 10147 by a SAQCC Gas registered technician, plus the HACCP documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
