Houston Petrochemical Facility
Comprehensive industrial coating project featuring advanced chemical-resistant systems for a major petrochemical processing plant with zero operational downtime.
Project Overview
This major petrochemical processing facility in Houston required comprehensive recoating of critical infrastructure to maintain safety standards and prevent corrosion in harsh chemical environments. The project demanded the highest level of expertise in industrial coatings and safety protocols.
Our specialized team applied advanced chemical-resistant coating systems throughout the facility, including storage tanks, processing equipment, piping systems, and structural steel. Every phase was executed with meticulous attention to safety and environmental compliance.
Safety First Approach
In chemical plant environments, safety isn't just a priority—it's the foundation of every decision and action we take.
Daily safety briefings and hazard assessments
Continuous air quality monitoring
