We’re proud to announce the successful completion of the installation of a 55-metre diameter Internal Floating Roof (IFR) — another major milestone for DSES Project Solutions and our incredible team.

What makes this achievement even more meaningful is how it was done:
💪 We trained and empowered local youth and industry workers from fenceline communities, giving them hands-on experience and technical skills in tank construction and maintenance.

🌍 This initiative forms part of our ongoing commitment to skills development, community upliftment, and sustainable industry transformation within the petrochemical sector.
Our team’s precision, professionalism, and passion shine through in every project we deliver — whether it’s Internal Floating Roofs, Geodesic Dome Roofs, or complete tank refurbishment solutions.

At DSES our mission has always been "To localize, what was deemed Specialized". No longer do South African based petrochemical clients need to import skills for these and other similar products.
