Genrec - The Company
Genrec, a BEE level 4 company, as part of leading engineering and contracts group Murray & Roberts, offers a unique combination of engineering disciplines in its field of operation. A comprehensive range of services is provided from structural steel fabrication and erection, to heavy fabrication and machining. Genrec covers the full spectrum of engineering, structural detailing, procurement, fabrication and construction.

Together with the sister Murray & Roberts companies, Genrec can offer complete turnkey solutions.

Genrec’s combination of manufacturing, construction and site management services, provide clients with a one-stop service.
Situated in Wadeville, just outside of Johannesburg, South Africa, Genrec’s facility has more than 55 000m2 of undercover workshops and open areas equipped with the latest systems, CNC equipments, welding processes as well as high volume blasting and painting resources spanning 19 500m2.

Genrec has a geographical focus that extends to Africa and the Middle East but has undertaken projects across Canada, America and Australia. The business has a vision to remain an internationally recognised steel fabricator that achieves success in its projects undertaken through its dedicated team of people.

Genrec has completed an expansion programme over the past 5 years that has increased its current facilities in Wadeville. The total area after under roof has been increased to 55 000m2 and 19 500m2 of open area, well equipped with planning and tracking systems. The fabrication capability was upgraded with CNC equipment, welding processes as well as high volume blasting and painting facilities. The outcome of this upgrade is a business focussed on low cost production while offering the highest quality demanded on the international market with a capacity increase of over 60%, or as measure in tonnage, 3000 tons a month of mixed steel fabrication, from 10kg to 100 tons per item.

This upgrade of capacity extended from stock and plate handling facilities inclusive of logistics, resources in assembly and boiler making being increased and restructured, with a capability upgrade to all welding services. One of the key focus areas of this expansion drive has been skills development. The new training facility provides development and training of boiler-makers, welders, detailers, computer numerically controlled operators, riggers and inspection personnel, based on an active production line allowing people in training to be as inclusive as possible to the fabrication works environment.

This facility also offers Genrec the ability to screen all production staff prior to them entering the works, again ensuring quality output. Our safety ethic is embedded at all levels with an excellent track record.
