A major overhaul of a refinery is not an exercise to take lightly. Unexpected delays and safety hazards cost time, money and sometimes lives. Our customer was aiming for an incident-free overhaul, with zero environmental or safety reports. This meant they needed an unpleasant and potentially risky job done before they could even start. They wanted lead-based paint removed from one of their larger vessels so they could complete a welding project. 

Others had tried dealing with this problem in the past but with only minimal success. The refinery asked if we could do a better job, and do it during normal operational hours.
