PETROCHEM

Our heavy lift teams provide unique lifting solutions for refineries, chemical plants and the petrochemical industry as a whole. Projects range from installation of new equipment, maintenance, turnarounds, shutdowns, plant expansions or relocation.

It’s all about building close relationships, working to project constraints and delivering on budget – ahead of schedule if possible. Excelling in safety, always.

SUPPLY SURETY 

When you’re choosing a supplier to deliver logistics on a multi-stakeholder project, supply surety matters. We guarantee our equipment will be allocated to your project alone, and then be available on the day. Having this equipment to hand means that, often, we can also step in at short notice to help overcome complex challenges.
