Crane & Heavy Haul for Petrochemical & Refining

Q: "Do you work in operating refineries?"

"Yes — routinely. Crews are oriented to site safety standards, work under hot-work and lockout-tagout procedures, and coordinate with operations on schedule windows."

Q: "What's a typical refinery turnaround scope for Northwest Companies?"

"A turnaround often combines vessel sets (cranes), heavy haul for replacement equipment, on-site transport from staging into the unit, and jack-and-slide for placement in restricted spaces. We bundle all of it under one engineering and dispatch team."

Q: "Do you handle TWIC and refinery security requirements?"

"Yes — crews carry TWIC and complete site-specific orientation as required."
