It is recommended that maintenance tests are conducted annually when a Certificate of Compliance is issued.

We would be pleased to be of service to you and would welcome the opportunity of submitting a quotation and, on request, a design for any project in which you may be involved. This design could be sent to the SABS for SANS approval. We would require a set of drawings showing typical elevations, sections foundation of roof plan. Alternatively, we would need extracts from the Bill of Quantity.
