Turnaround Welding Services (TWS) was founded in 1999 with a mission to exceed all industry standards and client expectations. How does a business accomplish that feat? One of the ways is to hire safe, dedicated and highly skilled employees. TWS did just that!
Longevity that exemplifies success
Being in the industry for 16 years is no small feat to accomplish. The industry is constantly changing, and a company being able to adapt to those changes is a key to success. The demand for skilled and experienced project managers, welders, pipefitters, quality control/quality assurance and safety professionals has grown significantly. With the start-up of billions of dollars in new oil-related construction, this demand has become even more evident. TWS has remained steadfastly dedicated to keeping its performance at the top end of the scale. This is demonstrated by TWS setting its own all-time high record in man-hours worked for 2013, and it surpassed that record in 2014. The company also maintained a weld rejection rate of less than 1 percent.
Founded as a stand-alone company, TWS has grown and expanded exponentially throughout the course of its existence. For this to happen and for the company to maintain its high level of success, it takes hard work, dedication and an unrivaled experienced workforce.
TWS leaders knew in order to attain a high level of capability and quality of employees the company had to attract some of the best of the best in the world of welding. Instead of being off in an office somewhere just crunching the numbers, they make themselves available to their employees. It is through this hands-on, available approach their employees feel free to ask questions and get help when they need it. The management team regards their employees as their “people” and their “business” who make TWS what it is today — one of the leading welding services companies in the country. In many craft circles, it is a badge of honor to work for TWS and be one of their esteemed “Bulldogs.” And the company’s highly qualified and experienced craftsmen wear this badge of honor proudly.
Unmatched tenacity
And what does it take to be an esteemed TWS Bulldog? It takes determination, tenacity and adaptability. From planned turnarounds to unplanned emergencies, TWS’ world-class welders do more than just weld. They rig, fit and deliver safer, more cost-efficient projects that require anywhere from 10 to 250,000 man-hours. With each project, they know their reputations are on the line. However, they rise to the occasions and fulfill their customers’ needs and wants.
Complete turnaround service
TWS offers a vast array of turnaround services to its customers. Many times this is a valuable asset because the client has enough to do without the added task of hiring multiple contractors for one project. As a total turnaround company, TWS can meet all projects needs.
Adaptability
TWS is known for its ability to adapt without missing a beat. As the projects’ schedules change, the TWS Bulldogs adjust their schedule, manpower and approach. That’s one of many reasons its clients use the company again and again. It also takes pride in its “can do” reputation of not just performing safely and productively but also delivering quality services on time. Many times a client calls TWS to assist it with an ongoing turnaround when the schedule is slipping due to poor performance of the original contractor or additional unforeseen work. TWS mobilizes its professionals to determine the tasks that are either not done or done incorrectly. A clear assessment of the task to be done, manpower requirements along with a schedule for completion, is given to the client. TWS mobilizes its craftsmen and brings the turnaround back on schedule or many times ahead of schedule.
The TWS Bulldogs enjoy taking on projects from which others turn away. These challenges are met with tenacity by TWS’ highly experienced workforce. Many years of experience and a true desire to succeed make these challenges possible.
Safety that’s more than a motto
TWS also has a reputation of safety. Its motto is, “Safety first no matter what.” This motto is more than just words; it is the driving force of everything TWS does. In 2014, its total recordable incident rate (TRIR) was zero. With millions of man-hours and diverse projects under its belt, the company’s employees are trained to deliver multiple tasks safely. TWS’ management team and employees believe customers expect and deserve safe, quality-driven and productive services that consistently exceed industry standards.
Getting the job done right
The TWS Bulldogs know regardless of what the job calls for — be it the plugging of a single tube in a boiler, participating in a complete turnaround or simply retubing a furnace — bringing a world-class team to the project is the only way to ensure the job is done right. TWS’ craftspeople, supervisors and managers are true champions when it comes to being some of the best in the world at what they do.
When a facility needs one of the best welding services companies anywhere in the world, Turnaround Welding Services will apply its professionalism, skill and devotion to excellence to get the job done right the first time.
