Infrastructure is a backbone, a foundation on which businesses and economies can grow – at DB Thermal it’s our wheelhouse.  Keeping up with the needs of a growing world and maintaining today’s existing and aging infrastructure can be seen as a daunting challenge.  We see it as an inspiring one.  With a problem solver’s instinct, we bring creativity and an entrepreneurial spirit to go beyond meeting our customers’ needs for safe, reliable and efficient solutions, to laying the groundwork for a more productive future.

We’re focused on the individual requirements of our customers – be it new build projects, increased efficiency requirements for existing plants, modernization, construction or repairs. With over 45 years of experience, we can safely say we are a reliable partner to power utilities, refineries and operators of complex installations throughout Southern Africa.

Founded in South Africa in 1970 and was previously part of the Deutsche Babcock Group, DB Thermal is currently part of SPX, with access to best in class design and engineering, global collaboration, technical skills and support whilst still ensuring high local content in manufacture and construction activities.

Our focus on enterprise & supplier development as well as socio-economic improvement and preferential procurement has contributed to our achievement of a Level 4 Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment Certificate, providing 100% procurement recognition. Our BBBEE activities are audited and certified by RVN Empowerment Services, and our certificate, issued on 22 August 2019, is valid to 21 August 2020.
