Safety & compliance
Bongela cleaning services specialise in the use of high-pressure water jetting equipment and techniques. This is a key area of our expertise and forms an integral part of the specialised services we offer.
Our use of rope access techniques is another aspect that distinguishes our services. Rather than relying on conventional access methods such as erecting scaffolding, our trained personnel use rope access techniques to safely access confined and difficult-to-reach areas within structures.
Once safely positioned within the structure, our teams establish secure working platforms and implement the necessary safety measures before commencing the cleaning process using our specialised high-pressure water jetting equipment.
This combination of rope access and high-pressure water jetting allows us to safely and efficiently access and clean areas that may otherwise be difficult, time-consuming, or costly to reach using conventional methods. It is this specialised combination of skills, equipment, and expertise that sets our cleaning services apart.
Silo Cleaning
Bongela uses rope access and controlled UHP and HP water jetting to safely remove silo build-up, restore capacity and improve material flow while supporting proactive maintenance planning.
Sandblasting & Hydroblasting
Bongela uses sandblasting and hydroblasting to remove corrosion, contaminants and build-up, preparing industrial surfaces for maintenance, coatings and rehabilitation.
Hydro-Mining
Bongela uses high-pressure water cleaning to safely remove material build-up from dams, tanks and processing systems, restoring flow, capacity and operational efficiency while reducing the risk of blockages and downtime.
Integrated Solutions
Bongela combines process cleaning, structural repairs and rehabilitation under one contract, simplifying project management, reducing downtime and improving efficiency across mining and industrial operations.
Rope Access
Bongela provides specialised rope access solutions for high, confined and hard-to-reach areas, supporting safe and efficient cleaning, inspections and maintenance with minimal disruption.
SIMM Inspections
Following silo cleaning, Bongela’s SIMM inspections identify structural deterioration, corrosion, wear and damage, helping teams plan proactive maintenance, reduce downtime and extend asset life.
