Manufacture and supply of custom supports and fabricated items tailored to client specifications and project requirements.

Pre-Commissioning & Commissioning Support

Testing, inspection, and commissioning assistance ensuring mechanical systems are safe, aligned, and fully operational.

Safe and precise critical or heavy lifting & Rigging operations

Executed complex lifts up to 150 MT, our lifting specialists develop a comprehensive Rigging Plan and Lift Method Statement (LMS). This includes detailed crane positioning layouts, center-of-gravity (CG) evaluations, and boom clearance checks. For complex or tandem lifts—such as installing heavy equipment—we conduct a formal Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) to mitigate all environmental and structural risks beforehand.

Safety & HSE Excellence

Our occupational health and safety protocols are aligned with ISO 45001 standards. Every high-risk activity (such as critical heavy lifts or working at heights) requires a mandatory HIRA (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment), a verified Job Safety Analysis (JSA), and strict Permit-to-Work (PTW) compliance managed by certified, independent site Safety Officers.

We handle rotary equipment such as compressors, pumps, turbines, motors etc. and static equipment such as vessels, columns, steel structures, ducts, platforms, heat exchangers, and heavy structural assemblies including other complex equipment such as Conveyors etc.

Our 70-year legacy in erecting massive, high-end industrial long lead equipment (LLE) has given our teams unmatched expertise in handling large-scale weights and tight clearances. Having successfully executed complex lifts up to 150 MT, we are uniquely positioned to manage the heaviest utility infrastructure. Our lifting specialists develop a comprehensive Rigging Plan and Lift Method Statement (LMS). This includes detailed crane positioning layouts, center-of-gravity (CG) evaluations, and boom clearance checks. For complex or tandem lifts—such as installing heavy equipment—we conduct a formal Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) to mitigate all environmental and structural risks beforehand.

Yes, we maintain our own fleet of lifting cranes, equipment, and a fully equipped warehouse to support site execution.

Yes, we carry out precision alignment using in house alignment tools such as laser alignment, total stations, optical alignment tools, and calibrated instruments.

Yes, we have in-house fabrication capability for supports, tanks, and structures as per approved WPS and client requirements.

We control quality through an integrated, data-driven management system backed by global certifications and a zero-compromise field culture:

Quality Assurance (QA/QC): Our processes operate under a strict ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System. Every project is governed by a customized Inspection & Test Plan (ITP) and Quality Assurance Plan (QAP). We deploy 100% trace-tested materials, 6G-certified welders matching ASME/AWS codes, and non-destructive testing (NDT/Radiography). Final equipment positioning is verified using advanced laser alignment systems to guarantee micro-level tolerances.

We use only our own manpower.

Safety & HSE Excellence: Our occupational health and safety protocols are aligned with ISO 45001 standards. SFE operates with a world-class safety profile, consistently maintaining an LTIFR of < 1.0, as per international heavy construction benchmarks. We do not rest on past achievements and are actively driving toward a target of Zero Harm through continuous HSE training and predictive risk mitigation.

Risk Mitigation on Site: Every high-risk activity (such as critical heavy lifts or working at heights) requires a mandatory HIRA (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment), a verified Job Safety Analysis (JSA), and strict Permit-to-Work (PTW) compliance managed by certified, independent site Safety Officers.

We move beyond traditional dial gauges by deploying state-of-the-art Laser Alignment Systems, Optical Total Stations, and Digital Levelling instruments. Having mastered these tools in the complex, multi-axis environments of paper mill erection, our specialized engineering teams can precisely track and adjust horizontal, vertical, and angular alignments down to microns. We provide fully documented, digital alignment reports that meet strict global validation standards.

We have in-house project planning & scheduling software such as Primavera & Microsoft projects. Dedicated site teams ensure milestone adherence through daily monitoring, reporting, and proactive issue resolution.

Paper machines are among the most alignment-sensitive industrial assets in existence, requiring extreme precision across hundreds of metres of continuous, high-speed rotary equipment. SFE has perfected the art of levelling, squaring, and parallel alignment under these tight tolerances with near-zero vibration, protecting sensitive equipment and dramatically extending asset lifespans.

We handle installation and erection of Long Lead equipment (LLE) broadly classified into Static and Rotary equipment such as Storage Tanks, Vessels, Heat Exchangers, Reactors, Columns, Turbines, Centrifugal Chillers, Compressors, Pumps, Fans, Blowers, Motors, Transformers, Cooling towers, Diesel Generator, Flue gas exhausts, Conveyors and Heavy Steel Structures with precision and safety.
