Key Differentiators:

Our experiences encompasses facilities and scopes of all sizes, from ground-up construction of new plants with Total Installed Cost (TIC) exceeding $500 million, to drive replacements on an existing line, our craft have done it all.

  • Multi-Trade Self-Performance: We provide you with seamlessly coordinated construction services self-performed almost entirely with our in-house craft that include:
    • Boilermakers

    • Carpenters

    • Electricians

    • Ironworkers

    • Laborers

    • Millwright

    • Plumber/Pipefitters

    • Operators

    • Sheet Metal Workers

  • Streamlined Project Delivery: Because of our self-performance breadth and the ability to act as a self-performing general contractor (GC) in the industrial sector, we are able to ensure streamlined communication, fewer handoffs, mitigate scope gaps, and provide you with budget and schedule certainty, all while eliminating double and triple markups that you would pay for with a traditional construction manager utilizing subcontractors.

  • Off-Site Manufacturing (OSM): We utilize our industry leading OSM capabilities to move as much of the work off the site as possible, racking, modularizing, prefabricating, and preassembling wherever possible. The result is a safer, more efficient, and higher quality project and a facility that is operational faster with fewer issues during start up and turnover.

  • Shutdown & Turnaround Coordination: We are experts at accomplishing major scopes of work under tight schedules and have a well-established reputation as the contractor you want handling your down or TAR. We understand that every second you aren’t producing is costing you money and we have the craft and experience to make sure that your facility is back up as quickly as possible.

  • Service & Preventative Maintenance: We don't stop at major capex projects, we also offer best-in-class service and preventative maintenance to respond to any issues and optimize production and equipment performance and longevity.
