Energy & Utilities services
Safety Leadership for Complex, High-Hazard Energy Operations
Comprehensive safety, logistics, and turnaround services for refineries, petrochemical plants, power generation facilities, and pulp & paper mills.
Energy & Utilities Demands
Energy and utilities operations demand the highest levels of safety expertise. Process safety incidents can threaten lives, communities, and facility viability. Turnaround delays cost tens of thousands per hour. Regulatory violations bring severe penalties.
$10-50M+ turnarounds, $500K-2M+ daily outages, $15K-150K+ PSM violations.
Zero margin for error.
Refining & Petrochemical
Refineries face extreme hazards: hydrocarbons, high pressure, high temperatures. Confined space work in vessels and towers creates constant risk. Multi-million-dollar turnarounds demand zero-defect execution under intense OSHA and EPA scrutiny.
Power Generation
Power plants face high-voltage electrical hazards, boiler work, and confined space entry in precipitators and ducts. Older facilities require asbestos and lead abatement. Outage delays cost $500K-2M+ daily under strict environmental compliance requirements.
Pulp & Paper
Mills face chemical exposures from pulping and bleaching agents, plus high-temperature work in digesters and recovery boilers. Confined space operations, hexavalent chromium in welding, and extreme noise create constant hazards requiring specialized safety expertise.
