When MarkWest Energy began developing plans for a new gas compressor station in the area, they wanted construction solutions they could both trust and install quickly — allowing them to take advantage of reserves as quickly as possible!

Nearly 60 years of exposure to the elements can pose quite a corrosive threat to a bridge’s structural integrity.

The school district’s roofs were metal, wood, built-up, or covered in spray polyurethane foam (SPF), and they were leaking. The crew had little time and lots to cover.

How would you like to be able to predict the level of success — or failure — of your projects? Well, it seems that reality is closer than you might think.

To help strive toward a successful partnership and effectively obtain the proper surface preparation (or perhaps any standard) on a new or existing project, here are a few things we have found that add to our success.

What makes a mutually beneficial program in which manufacturers and contractors both benefit? Here is a list of the top five considerations contractors should contemplate before joining any certification network.

The application of coatings inherently includes personal safety risks. Contractors often encounter jobsites with dusty and/or vaporous conditions, and without proper protection, excessive exposure can result in a number of problems.
