As part of a global strategic realignment, Stanley Oil & Gas divested its South African operations to a local management consortium operating under NYTS Holdings (Pty) Ltd. As a result, SISA Inspection, De-Tect Unit Inspection, and Cooperheat of Africa became fully locally owned entities under the new holding structure.
This year also marked a significant milestone, celebrating 40 years since the establishment of the original South African business, which was founded in 1980 during the construction of major infrastructure projects including Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, Sasol Synfuels plants, Eskom power stations, and the Saldanha Steel facility.
De-Tect continued to secure long-term work within the power generation sector, including a five-year contract at Eskom's Kriel Power Station for metallographic replication services. The company also expanded into the renewable energy sector, being awarded a contract to perform NDT services for GRI Wind Towers during fabrication processes.
In addition, De-Tect secured a framework agreement with Steinmüller Africa for the provision of NDT services within their fabrication workshop environment.
