Finding the right heavy mechanical contractor that can manage all aspects of your complex turnarounds and capital project construction is essential to keeping safety events at bay.
As many companies, especially new ones, try to be everything to everyone by offering too many services too fast, they end up not being a true specialist at any one thing. And even worse, these companies often put their workers’ safety at risk.
When deciding which contractor to go with, turnaround and construction managers would be prudent to look for longtime proven industry leaders that began slow and steady, specializing in one or two areas and then gradually expanded their offerings, all while keeping a pristine safety track record.
Ensure your next turnaround or capital project hits all your safety and performance markers by choosing the right industrial field services company. Wyatt Field Service Company can help you reach these fundamental criteria:
PROVEN PERFORMANCE
Reputation is everything in the petrochemical industry, especially during turnarounds and capital projects when the stakes are so high. Keeping everyone safe in a fast-paced environment, all while trying to meet KPIs and stay on budget, is what makes the difference between a successful event and a train wreck.
QUALITY
Knowing the job will be skillfully executed the first time is crucial when in the thick of meeting project budgets, achieving schedules and ensuring a safe and efficient outcome. It’s important that the contractors you engage are qualified, certified and are using up-to-date software and tools that allow effective, on-site communication.
SAFETY
Excellence in safety is driven through management’s commitment, investment in leadership, and a culture of supervision from the top down. Looking for a contractor that continues to refine and improve its safety program in order to reach the ultimate goal- zero injuries and incidents is paramount.

Safety first goes beyond a priority
"Wyatt just celebrated two years and 4.2 million man hours with zero recordable incidents."
“Wyatt’s ability to send our employees home safe at the end of the day is based around core functions of our safety program which are executed by our jobsite supervision and observed and improved upon by both our management and our field employees,” says Wyatt’s Director of HSE Forrest Carithers.
Wyatt takes a unique approach to its Job Safety Analysis Program by getting away from the checklist mentality and moving to a conversational guide, which Carithers says helps prompt employee involvement and allows room for feedback.
“As a fundamental value of our business operations, providing a safe workplace for our employees and our customers goes beyond a priority,” he said. “To perform our work safely is the singular primary outcome of our business. It is the obligation of each employee to recognize, practice and uphold this value.”
Whether it’s planned maintenance or an unforeseen emergency, the impacts of system downtime can ripple throughout a petrochemical refining business, ultimately impacting production, safety and the bottom line.
