Key Differentiators:
Specialized Experience: Our experience includes projects in containerboard, paper, and tissue machine construction and rebuilds, thermal and mechanical pulping, fiber line upgrade, and water and wastewater treatment. We also repair and install steam turbines and service digesters, boilers, and lime kilns, among many other services. Our comprehensive capabilities ensure your mill performs optimally and meets your production requirements.
Breadth Of Service: We are capable of handling any scope of work from major capital projects and expansions to a drive replacement or a minor service call. With decades of experience in pulp and paper, we know how to complete the work safely, efficiently, and provide a quality product that will maximize your facility’s uptime.
- 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
Millwrights
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.
Familiarity With OEMs: Because of our breadth of experience, we have worked with any OEM equipment on your project. We have recent and relevant experience working with PCMC, ESI, Valmet, Kadant, Andritz, Voith, Rockwell ABB, Allen Bradley and numerous others.
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 plant 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 capex projects or major rebuilds, we also offer best-in-class service and preventative maintenance provided by some of the most experienced craft in the industry.
