Engineering Division
Built for Heavy Engineering
Engineering capability is more than a list of services. It depends on the space, machinery, material handling, technical coordination and skilled personnel available to execute work safely and efficiently.
PSS Engineering operates from a substantial fabrication facility in Bulawayo, supported by drawing office services, heavy fabrication equipment, machining capability and material-handling infrastructure.
