Towers
Specialty Tower Services for Safe Separation and Reliable Unit Throughput
Our tower teams focus on the vessels that drive separation and product quality in your units, including fractionation towers, distillation columns, drums, and reactors. We combine experienced supervisors, skilled welders, and purpose-built tooling to open, inspect, clean, and repair towers safely and efficiently.
From damaged trays and worn internals to pressure-boundary repairs and full tower revamps, we help you execute outage work that supports throughput, reliability, and mechanical integrity. The goal is straightforward: fewer leaks, fewer repeat entries, and towers that return to service ready to run.
How We Execute Tower Outages and Revamps
For each outage, we align scope and sequencing with your inspection plans, internals vendors, and crane and rigging teams. Our crews plan access, lifts, and internal work paths so trays, packing, and attachments can be removed, replaced, or repaired with minimal lost time.
We use blind-to-blind workflows, controlled cleaning and repair steps, and disciplined QA/QC checks to manage each tower from open to close. That structure supports safer confined-space work, more predictable turnaround windows, and reliable performance once the tower is back online.
