Projects
We have a proven track record in providing quality service with a focus on heavy civil, mechanical, and infrastructure scope requirements. We have executed work on large mill process and material handling systems. We have constructed water treatment plants, acid plants, oxygen plants, steel and concrete tanks, earth dykes, roads, HVAC systems, and completed process facilities and maintenance shut downs. We also specialize in supplying a skilled workforce for operations and maintenance support in operating facilities.
Over the years, we’ve built a portfolio of projects worth billions of dollars
