When every hour of downtime impacts your bottom line, you need a partner capable of rapid mobilization and precision execution. Gilbert Industries provides comprehensive plant turnaround services, specialized in critical path mechanical repairs and structural integrity for the chemical, oil, and industrial sectors.

Our teams are engineered for emergency shutdown maintenance, arriving on-site with the equipment and expertise to handle discovery work and scheduled overhauls simultaneously.

Column Inspections – Structural Integrity & Alignment

Precision is non-negotiable during a refinery turnaround. The Gilbert team manages the full lifecycle of column maintenance:

  • Internal Inspections: Thorough assessment of structural integrity and vertical alignment.

  • Mechanical Repairs: Opening columns, removing/replacing internal manways, and performing high-grade code welding repairs.

  • Strategic Planning: We work within your critical path to develop a schedule that minimizes outage duration.

Floating Roof Repairs – Seals, Welds & Safety Compliance

Leaking or malfunctioning floating roofs are a primary cause of environmental non-compliance during tank farm shutdowns.

  • Seal Replacement: Expert inspection and replacement of primary and secondary seals on all floating roof configurations.

  • Weld Integrity: Comprehensive weld testing and repair to ensure long-term safety and operational compliance.

Agitator Inspections – Gearbox, Mount & Operational Checks

Don't let mechanical failure extend your downtime. Gilbert provides specialized agitator inspections and maintenance during scheduled plant outages:

  • Comprehensive Service: We inspect and replace bearings, shafts, gearboxes, and mounts.

  • System Upgrades: Full support for component upgrades including bolts, sleeves, and blades tailored to your specific tank requirements.

Rapid Mobilization for On-Site Projects

We understand that shutdown maintenance often uncovers "hidden" scope. Gilbert Industries prides itself on rapid-response mobilization. We don't just send workers; we design a custom crew footprint based on your facility’s specific layout and project complexity.

  • The Gilbert Advantage: As steel vessel fabrication specialists, we possess a unique vertical advantage. If a component is beyond repair during an inspection, we have the fabrication power to support turnaround projects with the skill and flexibility needed to meet aggressive schedules and demanding field conditions.
