A Complete Project Partner, Not Just a Welding Crew

Southern Welding Services was established in 2007 by people who had spent years managing industrial plants. They understood what plants needed from a contractor — and what most service providers consistently failed to deliver. Southern Welding was built to close that gap.

We work as a complete project partner. Our scope covers everything from engineering and fabrication through to installation, repairs, civil groundwork, and handover — all under a single contract. You don't coordinate between our teams. We do that internally.

As part of AIS Group, Southern Welding can draw on refractory, precision fabrication, and industrial maintenance from other group companies when the project scope demands it. One call still covers it all.

What We Do

Our Services

Industrial Welding

Structural and process welding across carbon, stainless, and specialty alloys. Coded welders deployed to every type of industrial plant environment — cement, mining, power, and paper.

Mechanical Erection

Equipment setting, precision alignment, and installation for plant machinery, conveyor systems, heat exchangers, fans, and heavy mechanical components.

Fabrication and Installation

In-field fabrication of structural steel, pipework, and custom components — designed, built, and installed within the same contract scope. No third-party fabricator, no scheduling gap.

Equipment Repairs and Upgrades

Repair and refurbishment of plant equipment including mills, crushers, kilns, conveyors, and rotating machinery. Emergency and planned scopes handled.

Civil Construction

Site earthworks, concrete foundations, and civil support for plant expansions and capital projects — sequenced with the mechanical and structural scope under one contract.

Engineering and Site Support

Project engineering, scheduling, and on-site technical management across maintenance and capital project scopes. Our supervisors are on the ground, running the work.
