Around the Clock: The Night Shift at Mossel Bay

Our Mossel Bay yard runs 24 hours a day, five days a week. When the day shift goes home, the night shift takes over. Here is how that keeps your order moving, from bending schedule to site.

At a glance

  • SC Reinforcing started in Mossel Bay in 2010, and the yard is now at 9 Barrier Street, Mossdustria.
  • The yard runs 24 hours a day, five days a week, completely off grid on solar power.
  • Quotes come back within one working day, and delivery is usually within one to two working days.

Where it all started

SC Reinforcing opened in Mossel Bay in 2010. In 2017 we moved to our current yard at 9 Barrier Street, Mossdustria, and that same year the yard went off grid on solar power.

Production that keeps moving

The yard runs 24 hours a day, five days a week. When the day shift ends, the night shift takes over the cutting, bending and loading, so work on your order does not stop overnight. Your bending schedule is prepared in our yard and every bar is cut and bent to SANS 282, so the steel leaves labelled, bundled and ready to fix.

Manufacturing is scheduled between our Mossel Bay and George branches to meet your required delivery date and time.
