Pipe Work
With the only 3D CNC pipe cutting facility in the Northern Cape we are able to fabricate small to large bore spool pieces, tee piece and even lobster bends in record time accurately with great cost saving to the client. CNC cutting range is from 50NB to 600NB with larger pipes also being fabricated.
Crane Hire
We have a 25Ton TADANO mobile crane available for installation/strip of all services available as well as a 6Ton rigid truck for deliveries of our fabricated items.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steels are notable for their corrosion resistance, which increases with increasing chromium content.
Additions of molybdenum increase corrosion resistance in reducing acids and against pitting attack in chloride solutions. Thus, there are numerous grades of stainless steel with varying chromium and molybdenum contents to suit the environment the alloy must endure. Stainless steel’s resistance to corrosion and staining, low maintenance, and familiar lustre make it an ideal material for many applications where both the strength of steel and corrosion resistance are required.
Stainless steels are rolled into sheets, plates, bars, wire, and tubing to be used in cookware, cutlery, surgical instruments, major appliances and as construction material in large buildings.
Our CNC plasma division serves the option to cut sheets sized 3m x 6m and piping ranges from 50NB to 600NB x 6m long in size.
CNC Piping
With the only 3D CNC pipe cutting facility in the Northern Cape we are able to fabricate small to large bore spool pieces, tee piece and even lobster bends in record time accurately with great cost saving to the client. CNC cutting range is from 6m long x 50NB to 600NB diameter.
High Wear Plate Liners
SOLHAR handles wear resistant lining to suit mining/plant requirements enhancing the mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic conveyance of highly abrasive materials.
Situated in Kimberley we have a range of options for lining including the cut thereof by means of our CNC plasma division:
• High Brinell strength plate with a nominal hardness of 60 HRC (Rockwell) and typical hardness of 650-700 HBW
• Wear plates comprise a base plate of construction steel and a wear resistant coating applied by arc welding, offering exceptional resistance to abrasive wear. Also known as “Over-lay” plate.
• Tube 500 - Abrasion-resistant tubes for extreme performance and extended service life, as hard and tough as our wear plates, offer outstanding performance when you need both high wear resistance and a lighter product.
• HiTemp wear palte that can take the heat – it is a wear plate that provides a cost-efficient solution for wear resistance at high temperatures in the 300–500°C range (570–930°F).
• Hi wear round bars are versatile, ready-to-use, abrasion-resistant steels that combine high toughness, good bendability and good weld ability. They come in diameters between 40 and 100 mm and lengths up to 5000 mm, and feature the same guaranteed properties as the wear plate.
• Rubber-back liners are manufactured from durable polyurethane, rubber with a metal back fusion for installation onto steel chutes.
GHAAP Engineering and Field Services in Danielskuil
In partnership with SOLHAR in Kimberley.
Plate Work
Fabrication of all plate work/structural steel is available under one roof as we have 1600m2 under roof cover with overhead crane facility and a plasma division for making sure that fitment of such items is exact and secure for ease of installation on-site.
We strive to ensure that this is in a controlled environment running a Quality Control Plan known as a data pack for large projects to ensure that clients receive what they have requested. With qualified and motivated personnel we are geared for complex works and tight delivery timeframes.
Experience of small, medium and large projects, we are able to assist with a wide range of services.
Lining of chutes/plate work are also readily available with secure CNC capabilities up to 40mm thick plate and 6m x 3m wide bed. A 25ton mobile crane is available for installation purpose.
HDPE - High Density Polyethylene
HDPE are successfully used in a variety of applications in the Civil, Agricultural, Municipal, Mining and Industrial sectors. Because of the good chemical resistance and abrasion resistance properties they are also extensively used in chemical, waste and slurry applications.
We are capable of manufacturing lobster bends, pulled bend, tee pieces etc. Our range of HDPE welding on site or overland is from 90 OD up to 450 OD HDPE piping on-site. Larger diameter sizes to be manufactured in our Kimberley workshop. A 25ton mobile crane is available for installation purposes.
Corrosion Protection
Our sandblast facility allows steel to be prepared at Swedish SA 2.5 standard using various shot blasting grit depending on requirement. This prepares the surfaces for high quality coating applications to be applied for longer lasting solutions.
SOLHAR have also secured the option of supplying high quality industrial paint in the Kimberley region. As STONCOR distributor in Kimberley, our corrosion resistant coatings include the Carboline, Alumanation, Mathys/Noxyde/Rust-Oleum range. Contact the offices for ordering paint.
CNC Plasma Cutting
Mining operations will also benefit as they have an option of supplying material to be pre-cut for their own use and because of nesting software used the plasma cutting ensures maximum utilisation of such material.
Steel liners used as high wear lining solutions are available up to 40mm thick with high brinell strength i.e. HARDOX 500/650.
Quality work and great service which means on time delivery is our motivation. Cut to clients’ design to start immediate assembly and optimizing your fabrication line.
We strive at all times to ensure that our Company meets the laid down legislative and labour related requirements and that we address the national challenges of unemployment, ownership and sustainable development. We take pride in providing the highest level of efficient and effective workmanship with high level of service at all times. Our core business is to venture into the mining industry through a carefully scheduled plan with firm guidelines, assisted by the construction and managing experience in this field. Our activities will be directed at carefully selected projects, which can provide significant growth and sustainability to our clients.

Ruark from GHAAP Engineering and Field Services approached SOLHAR to assist in this refurbishing project for his client. GHAAP operates from Danielskuil area and we brought the bucket to Kimberley to repair. Below you can see the process of this refurbishment. Thank you Ruark and the team for your countless hours of work you put in to complete this job.
What is structural steel used for?
Structural steel is primarily used for construction purposes, but it can also be found throughout the automobile & energy infrastructure industries. There may even be instances where structural steel is used to build various machinery, equipment storage tanks, tools, household appliances & for food and beverage packaging.
How is structural steel made and how is it different than regular steel?
Before we get into the specifics of structural steel, let’s just discuss how steel in general is made. There are two ways that steel can be made a) working with raw materials or b) recycling used materials.
The business was formed in April 2011 by Mr. Kevin Harding, and the nature of operations is that of Building Construction, Alterations, Civils, Plumbing, Steelwork and Solar Energy Solutions. The business has penetrated the local industry and has built up a significant market share since
inception. Our operations have also diversified into the HDPE piping market. Our success is attributed to excellent Project Management, Quality Controls, Hard work, Dedication, Teamwork and Competitive Prices. We are continuously striving to improve our customer relations and productivity to ensure that our clients’ receive an excellent service and lowest prices at all times.
Our organisation realizes its responsibility towards the environment and we at all times strive to manage operations in the most “Environmental Friendly” manner as far as possible. We further strive to meet our objectives to implement and monitor environmental issues and to review our policy regularly and control disposal of waste in a responsible manner. Solar renewable energy solutions also form part of our commitment toward the minimizing of our Carbon footprint in our country.
