Turnaround and construction contractor for petrochemical and refining industries
Repcon’s approach to business is reflected in its tagline: “We Do Things Right.” Service is Repcon’s product, quality is its commitment, and safety is its way of life.
Repcon’s business is rooted in its expertise in turnarounds and industrial construction for the process industries. Repcon’s skilled teams routinely manage multiple turnaround and construction projects across diverse U.S. geographical regions. They know their existence and continued success depend on the quality and value of services provided to customers.
Repcon constantly works to enhance its services to its customers and to provide a level of quality and value unmatched in the construction and turnaround industry — and does so while maintaining the highest regard for safety.
Safety second to none
For Repcon, the safe way is the only way. The company has built a reputation and expertise in planning and executing critical projects safely, efficiently and on schedule with a safety record that’s second to none.
“No project is considered totally successful unless it is accident and injury free,” Repcon President R.E. “Bob” Parker has said for years. This top-down approach to safety is made clear in many ways throughout the organization.
The company has been recognized for its outstanding safety record:
• Awarded OSHA’s prestigious VPP (Voluntary Protection Program) Mobile Contractor designation, a highly sought after status maintained by Repcon since 2005.
• The first mechanical contractor in America to receive OSHA’s VPP STAR Mobile Contractor designation.
• One of a select few contractors listed in the OSHA Federal Register, where its policies and procedures have been approved for all 10 Federal Regions.
Streamlined fabrication services
Pipe fabrication has long played a role in Repcon’s business. Its three fabrication facilities are strategically located in key areas of the country — Corpus Christi and Houston, Texas, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana — and are outfitted with state-of-the-art fabrication equipment and skilled personnel (average years of experience for a Repcon fabrication employee are 16-20). Repcon self-performs pipe fabrication to better support its turnaround and construction business in a more timely, responsive and high-quality manner. The company also executes stand-alone pipe fabrication services for its customers.
A few numbers and facts:
• Three locations — Corpus Christi, Houston and Baton Rouge
• 80,000 (estimated) square feet of fabrication space
• 15 (estimated) acres of laydown yard
• Skilled fabricators and welders
• Weld rejection rate of less than 1 percent
• 20-ton in-shop crane capacity
• Utilization of a talented in-house quality control/quality assurance department
• Use of the latest drawing and design software
• Offers self-performed pickup and delivery
• 24-hour call-out services
“We offer a full package of ISO-9000- compliant pipe fabrication services, including complete support for construction and turnarounds. We have an excellent material separation and identification process,” said Kipp Knuteson, director of operations, South Texas Region.
The proprietary Repcon Quality System includes quality forms, reports and accountability logs for tracking all phases of a project from start to finish and procedures for archiving and maintaining completed project documentation.
“Repcon has a full team of dedicated fab shop professionals — from inspectors to fitters to alloy welders. Its fabrication teams can handle virtually any project,” commented Bill Hackler, director of operations, Houston. “Whether it’s regular carbon steel or exotic alloys such as inconel and hastelloy, Repcon has its clients covered.”
“Since 1983, Repcon has brought customers quality workmanship, lower costs and reduced downtime,” stated Josh Causey, vice president of operations. “Through a unique operating model and limitless technical expertise of specialized craft workers, time and again, Repcon has shown why it’s the best merit shop in the business.”
