ABOUT US
Our History
Ario obtained its first contract in 2010 as owner’s engineer on the replacement of the SAFARI-1 nuclear reactor at Necsa. The extent of the scope of work on this project established our company niche – which is an ability to bridge the gap from technology and engineering to successful project delivery on complex projects. Since 2010, Ario has fulfilled the requirements of a number of new clients and has built up a track record in the nuclear, energy, defence, aerospace, management consulting and mining sectors.
ARIO’s history
Our History
Ario obtained its first contract in 2010 as owner’s engineer on the replacement of the SAFARI-1 nuclear reactor at Necsa. The extent of the scope of work on this project established our company niche – which is an ability to bridge the gap from technology and engineering to successful project delivery on complex projects. Since 2010, Ario has fulfilled the requirements of a number of new clients and has built up a track record in the nuclear, energy, defence, aerospace, management consulting and mining sectors.
Today, Ario manages a very well-diversified portfolio of projects with a common theme, namely that these projects are typically complex (usually high-tech), in the engineering field and often in regulated environments with a significant demand on SHEQ, formal processes and governance.
Our competitive edge is to an ability to serve our diverse customer base with a unique expertise, spawned from structured nuclear project management and engineering processes, but blended with a unique flexibility as required for different sectors and continuously changing local and global markets.
Business
Consulting
One of the prime reasons for Ario’s success and growth over the past number of years has been its ability to combine in-depth project management, engineering and site delivery experience and skills with a very integrated client engagement approach. Ario is also very accustomed working in partnerships that requires a collaborative effort and a particular focus on interface management, integrated project risk management and joint product delivery. Through an effective blend of these attributes, we ensure our products are meticulously produced and integrated on time, on target and on budget. To date, the track record built up by Ario is the following:
- Directing projects including planning, costing, contracting and ultimately, project execution and project controls.
- Project feasibility studies, techno-economic analyses and business case development including the development of project execution strategies and plans.
- Commercial management, procurement and supplier contract management for and on behalf of clients.
- System engineering and quality assurance.
- Executive intervention and project turnaround upon request of specific clients.
Ario employs a number of high-level resources and has built up a reputation for reliable supply to clients in the fields of project management, engineering and project controls.
Products
Power Electronics
Ario’s inverter product range is unique in the world, comprising of a true multi-level topology that offers much higher efficiencies (~95%) than conventional inverters that make use of PWM technology. This inverter configuration also significantly increases reliability and life expectancy.
- Six-stage multilevel inverter technology
- Reduces stress on key inverter components
- Achieves overall efficiency higher than any commercially available system
- Generates a perfect sinusoidal voltage
Ario’s rectifiers are modular and can be scaled from 4kW to 12kW. Our products integrate AC and DC power in a single enclosure, including protection, rectifiers and switch gear.
