Precision steelwork,backed by 15 years experience
Security gates, gate and door automation, structural steel and building work — designed, manufactured and installed by our own teams across Cape Town and the surrounding areas.
Three trades, one contractor.
Most jobs touch more than one trade. A new driveway gate needs steel, a motor, a power supply and often a rebuilt pier. We cover all three, so the work is sequenced properly and nothing sits waiting on another contractor.
Steel & security
Sliding and swing driveway gates, pedestrian gates, security gates, burglar bars, palisade and mesh fencing, balustrades, staircases, carports and structural steel — cut, welded and finished in our own workshop.

See what we buildA single team for steel, automation and building.
DWAY Projects is a Cape Town based steel fabrication, gate automation and construction company. For more than 15 years we have manufactured and installed security gates, burglar bars, fencing, balustrades and structural steel — and automated the gates and doors that go with them.
Everything is built by our own hands. We measure on site, fabricate in our workshop, install with our own teams and return to service what we fit. One point of accountability, from the first site visit to the final handover.
Wayne Pienaar, our director and operations manager, runs the sites himself — so the person who quotes your job is the person who sees it through.
- One contractor, three trades. Steel, automation and building under a single quote, a single schedule and a single invoice.
- Manufactured, not adapted. Gates and bars are made to your opening, not cut down from a stock size.
- We service what we sell. Motors, intercoms and access control are supported long after installation, including out of warranty.
- Straight quoting. Written and itemised, so you can see what the steel, the motor and the labour each cost.
- We clean up. Rubble removed, brickwork made good, and the site left the way we would want to find it.
- Repairs welcome. We service and repair gates and motors we did not originally install.
Steel fabrication & security gates
Every gate, bar and railing we supply is manufactured for the opening it goes into. We work in mild steel, tubing, flat and square bar, and aluminium, finished to survive the Cape climate — hot-dip galvanised, primed and enamelled, or powder coated in the colour of your choice.
Gates & access
- Sliding driveway gates — single and tandem
- Swing gates, single and double leaf
- Pedestrian, courtyard and side gates
- Trellis and expandable security gates
- Retractable and fixed security gates for doors and windows
- Custom laser-cut, slatted and louvre infill panels
Fencing, bars & structures
- Burglar bars — fixed, removable and openable
- Palisade, welded mesh and clear-view style fencing
- Boundary railings, wall spikes and toppings
- Balustrades and handrails — mild and stainless steel
- Staircases, walkways and platforms
- Carports, awning frames and patio structures
- Structural steel, lintels, beams and columns
Coastal and exposed properties are best served by hot-dip galvanising followed by a powder coat or two-pack system; sheltered inland properties can generally be primed and enamelled at lower cost. Colour matching to existing steelwork, window frames or estate design codes is available on request.
Gate and door automation
We install, repair and service automation on gates, garage doors and access points. Whether you need a motor fitted to an existing gate, a failed unit replaced, or full access control for a complex, we supply and support the major brands available in South Africa.
Automation & motors
- Sliding gate motors — domestic and industrial duty
- Swing gate operators, ram and articulated arm
- Garage door and roller shutter operators
- Motor replacement, repair and refurbishment
- Battery and solar backup for power outages
- Safety beams, loop detectors and warning lights
Access & control
- Intercoms — audio and video, wired and wireless
- GSM units and cellphone-based gate access
- Keypads, card, tag and biometric readers
- Remotes, receivers and code-hopping upgrades
- Multi-user access control for complexes and estates
- Fault finding on existing installations
- Service plans and preventative maintenance
Automated gates are machinery, and we install them accordingly: safety beams, correct force settings and anti-crush clearances are fitted as standard, not offered as extras. Where load shedding is a factor we size the backup to the gate and the schedule in your area. And we will tell you honestly when a tired motor is worth repairing and when replacement is the cheaper route.
