We have vast experience in working with major companies in the petrochemical industry. We provide highly qualified, company-trained craftsmen and materials to complete projects on-time and within budget. Experienced supervision and management ensure that all contracts are conducted in a safe and timely manner, with maximum compatibility for client operations scheduling.

We have been heavily involved in some of the major expansions within the UK petrochemicals industry including work on the Lindsey Oil Refinery, Novartis (formerly CIBA), BP Chemical's' Hull Site, and the Conoco Humber Refinery. As well as working in Major capital works on these sites we also carry out planned "shutdown" works where there may be a requirement for large numbers of personnel over a short period of time and great flexibility. Our expertise in this industry was highlighted when BP Chemicals at Saltend contracted us to carry out an under-insulation corrosion survey on a main production unit, to be carried out over a 12-month period. This required the detailed tagging and itemisation of all insulated pipework and equipment, removal of existing insulation to allow physical inspection, and the installation of fresh insulation at the conclusion of the survey. Lessons learned from the exercise enabled us to devise new, high-quality insulation specific to this site, thus eliminating future CUI problems. A similar exercise was also carried for Conoco at their Humber Refinery Site in 2001.

We also carry out long-term maintenance contracts to petrochemical installations in partnership with other trades such as scaffolding, painting etc.

We are experienced in working in many different environments and industries, with many different disciplines. A brief summary of these include:

• Pre-Assembled Units (P.A.U.'s)
• Petroleum Storage Tanks
• Chemical Storage Tanks
• Refining Columns
• Reactors
• Heat Exchangers
• Spheres
• Pumps
• Steam and Process piping
• Aluminium and Stainless steel jacketing
• Fireproofing
• Cryogenic and Refrigeration installation

Safe Working Practice:

If there is one thing that is likely to prevent a job from being completed on-time and under-budget it is to ignore proper safe working practices. And nowhere is this more important than in the hazardous environments of petrochemical and related installations. That is why we pursue a comprehensive ongoing Safety Training Programme for all Operatives which includes specific courses, in-house seminars, regular 'toolbox' talks and the requirement for each one to complete the nationally recognised Humberside Passport Safety Scheme.
