A procurement manager for a major North American energy company recently made several exemplary remarks about Evergreen North America.
"When we selected Evergreen, they were actually already working for us on a much smaller scale," the procurement manager explained. "They were nested in one of our other refineries. We had a good experience with them there, and, as a result, we ended up nesting them in four additional locations. What it came down to was that Evergreen's safety performance was good, their technical performance was strong, and we really liked that Evergreen is a large industrial services company that still acts like a small industrial services company. We also like that the Evergreen personnel we need to communicate with are easily accessible. They can make timely decisions and get things done and escalated when necessary."
According to the procurement manager, Evergreen is now performing vacuum truck, hydroblasting, chemical cleaning and tank cleaning services at several sites.
"We love the fact that Evergreen leverages technology within our industry," he said. "Evergreen has been investing in technology like GPS tracking on their vacuum trucks for us to see the real-time utilization. The technology tells us not just where the truck is, but we can also see the real-time utilization of the equipment versus idle time within the plant. This allows us to take that technology and data and make strategic decisions on whether or not we have too many assets dedicated to one facility. Therefore, we're releasing the capital burden being used at our facility, lowering our cost and allowing Evergreen to redeploy that asset elsewhere."
Evergreen currently services many end markets, which include metals and mineral mining, petrochemical, refining, power, midstream, municipalities, and the pulp and paper industry. Now with over 30 locations, Evergreen North America has a national footprint capable of supporting its customers throughout the U.S.
"When it comes to turnaround season, Evergreen has the ability to scale up and bring on the supplemental workforce that's needed to be successful in executing turnaround events," the procurement manager said. "Evergreen also has an excellent short-term worker program to onboard, train and get personnel ready to execute work safely for our large turnaround events."
Evergreen North America believes that being committed to the safety of its employees and having a passion for doing the right thing starts with effective leadership. It also requires that employees take ownership and accountability. These foundational principles drive Evergreen North America's collaborative efforts to have the zero-harm culture it calls EverSafe. EverSafe means Evergreen North America will perform every task safely, every time.
"Evergreen has been a safe contractor for us," the procurement manager said "They share our methodology, striving for zero incidents. We believe all incidents are preventable."
