Specialized welding and maintenance support for Louisiana's most demanding industrial environments — refineries, chemical plants, pulp & paper mills, and power generation facilities. We speak your language and hold your certifications.
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.
