About IMENG

Industrial Capability.
African Excellence.

IMENG (I and M Engineering) is a South African industrial engineering company specialising in on-site machining, precision manufacturing, and emergency breakdown response. We serve the backbone of Africa's economy — mining, power generation, and heavy industry.

Our Level 1 BBBEE status, ISO 9001 quality alignment, and ISO 45001 safety alignment position us as the preferred industrial partner for Eskom, major mining houses, and heavy plant operators across the continent.

Where OEMs are unavailable and downtime is unacceptable, IMENG deploys precision solutions directly to your site — reducing import dependency and building Africa's industrial sovereignty.

We are not just a workshop. We are a strategic industrial partner — a manufacturing intelligence platform — and a future African engineering powerhouse built around sovereignty, speed, and precision.

What We Do

Core Engineering Services

Six specialised capabilities — each designed to restore your equipment, protect your production, and eliminate OEM dependency.

On-Site Machining

We come to you.

Portable precision machining deployed directly to your plant or mine — eliminating costly disassembly, crane logistics, and extended downtime.

Our portable machining units handle turning, milling, flange facing, and grinding tasks on-site. We serve both planned maintenance and emergency repairs for mining, power, and heavy industry clients across Africa.

Flange FacingShaft RepairBearing HousingKeyway Cutting

Line Boring

Precision in place.

Specialised line boring for worn pin and bush housings on yellow plant, excavators, and mining equipment — restored to OEM tolerances without dismantling.

Line boring eliminates the need to remove booms and sticks from excavators and other heavy equipment. We re-machine to specified tolerances, extending equipment life by years with on-site speed.

Pin BoringBush ReplacementExcavator RepairWeld Build-Up

Reverse Engineering

No drawing? No problem.

Scanning, measurement and CAD regeneration of damaged or obsolete components — including legacy equipment with no existing technical drawings.

Using advanced measurement tools and 3D scanning technology, we recreate accurate CAD models and technical drawings to support local manufacturing and eliminate OEM import delays permanently.

3D ScanningCAD GenerationMaterial AnalysisPrototyping

Boiler Component Repair

Power restored.

Precision repair and fabrication of boiler components for power generation — including Eskom and industrial steam systems — minimising outage duration.

We handle pressure vessel components, headers, tubes, supports, and structural steelwork. Our work aligns with ISO 9001 quality standards and the stringent safety requirements of power station environments.

Header RepairTube WorkPressure VesselsStructural Fab

Precision CNC Machining

Micron-level accuracy.

Workshop-based CNC and conventional machining for complex components requiring tight tolerances — from one-off prototypes to small batch production.

Our workshop capabilities include CNC turning, milling, grinding, and wire cutting. We manufacture replacement parts, custom tooling, and prototype components with exceptional precision for all industries.

CNC TurningCNC MillingGrindingTool Making

Emergency Breakdown Response

First on scene. First to restore.

24/7 emergency engineering deployment for critical equipment failure. We mobilise rapidly to diagnose, machine, and restore production when downtime is catastrophic.

Our emergency response team deploys with full portable machining capability. We assess, quote, and execute on-site with speed and precision — minimising revenue losses from unplanned downtime at any hour.
