At Specialist Condition Monitoring, we believe that central to any complex problem is a simple solution waiting to be discovered. With a true pioneering spirit, SCM is continually searching for the answers and striving to update the body of knowledge collectively possessed by its creative team of engineers. We rely heavily on inter-disciplinary collaboration to approach problems from unique angles. With a team that consists of unconventional lateral thinkers and highly focussed specialists, SCM is able to conceptualise solutions with a novel approach and follow through with meticulous perfecting of the practical implementation.
Owing to our unique way of thinking and our unwavering commitment to problem solving, we have been able to establish ourselves as a leader in our field and have been fortunate enough to act as consultants for like-minded industrial heavyweights to provide innovative solutions some of their most difficult challenges. Some of these include: 

   • Sasol
   • Anglo American
   • Petro SA
   • Eskom
   • Auto Industrial
   • Rotek Engineering

​

We have also been fortunate enough to be associated (through exclusive distribution appointments) with some of the leaders in the field of equipment manufacture for the NDT industry, allowing us to have access to the latest technology for development in all disciplines of non-destructive testing.

  • Ultrasonics (UT):                                  Karl Deutsch
  • Automated UT and TOFD:                 LeCoeur Electronique (not exclusive)
  • Magnetic Particle Inspection (MT):    Karl Deutsch
  • Radiography (RT):                                ICM
  • Eddy Current (ET):                                M2M
  • Phased Array Ultrasonics (PA):           M2M

​

Although SCM is centred around the development of novel approaches to problem solving, it has proved imperative to offer a bouquet of specialised service packages based on previous projects that still have a need in industry that has not yet been met by anyone else.
