Tshipuliso Tshibubudze
T & I Senior Manager at Natref
I would like to extend my appreciation to the Aurex project team for the work which was done during the 2024 Natref shutdown. The effort which was put in to complete the work and save cost by the team, who did their best to absorb the pressure of extra scope with their tireless effort and hard work to get things done, and do it safely, grant my gratitude.
Shivaan Sunderlall
Sasol Area Manager, SCC Hot side
I would just like to express my gratitude for the support I received in the current SCC shutdown. From the word go, we experienced high quality service. This included proper Covid compliance, up to date feedback, team on the floor that drove activities, stakeholder management, effective handovers and in a nut shell an incorporation of the Aurex team with my team. Our production foreman, technicians and process engineers were glad to work with a professional outfit like Aurex. I received positive feedback from my entire team.
Pieter Ebertsöhn
Quality Manager at Intertek Industry Services South Africa
I would like to commend the project team on the cleanliness of their workshop and general housekeeping activities. In comparison with other facilities, yours is fantastic. It has also been a while since I’ve visited a facility where the team works together so well and is able to effortlessly execute an inspection.
Noel Muller

The team is focused on ensuring that all shutdown operations were managed efficiently, effectively, and safely even in harsh conditions. The team is dedicated, passionate and delivers on quality and excellence.
