Routine Maintenance and Infrastructure Upkeep for an Aging Oil Plant
Project Review
This project focused on routine maintenance and preventative upkeep at an aging oil plant in the Fort McMurray area. Spanning several acres, the 30-40-year-old facility required attention to key infrastructure elements to ensure ongoing safety and functionality. The scope included maintaining industrial racking in Quonset huts, repairing concrete pedestals, patching grout forms, and addressing general wear and tear on doors and safety rails. With a focus on preserving the facility’s operational integrity, the project involved smaller, hands-on maintenance tasks managed by a team of skilled carpenters.
These upgrades aimed to prevent further deterioration while maintaining a safe and efficient working environment. By addressing smaller maintenance needs proactively, the work helped extend the life of critical infrastructure and avoided larger, more costly repairs in the future.
How We Plan Around This
For maintenance projects like this, our team of carpenters prioritizes efficient, practical solutions to maintain and enhance existing infrastructure. Tasks such as repairing industrial racking in Quonset huts and patching concrete pedestals are handled with precision to ensure long-term stability. Grout forms and safety rails are carefully inspected and maintained to meet current safety standards, while doors and access points are repaired or adjusted for smooth functionality.
By focusing on preventative maintenance, we address minor issues before they become significant problems, ensuring the facility remains operational and safe. Work is scheduled to minimize disruption to plant operations, allowing the site to continue running efficiently while maintenance tasks are completed.
Our approach ensures that routine maintenance is carried out effectively, preserving the functionality and safety of the facility without requiring extensive downtime or major renovations.
