Spotlight: Environment, Health & Safety
“Each of the skids we fabricate every year must be hydrotested with water before being shipped to the customer. In 2019, we initiated a sustainability program to engineer a recapture system that would recycle a portion of that used water rather than disposing of it. In 2020, we were able to recycle more than 25% of the water needed for hydrotesting. As we increase our sustainability eff orts to reduce the use of city water, we now have a new program under development to capture rain water from our property, using that water as much as possible in lieu of using city water.”
