Turnkey shutdown execution for refineries, chemical plants, paper mills, and industrial facilities across Louisiana. From a 5-man crew to a 200-person turnaround — we deliver on time, on budget, accident-free.
Louisiana's Chemical Corridor — 85 miles of refineries and chemical plants between Baton Rouge and New Orleans — is the densest concentration of industrial facilities in North America. ExxonMobil Baton Rouge, Sasol Lake Charles, Cameron LNG, and 19 petroleum refineries processing over 3 million barrels per day require world-class welding contractors.
