A Unique Approach to Structural Repairs

Safety A project isn’t successful unless it is completed safely. At Structural Preservation Systems (SPS), safety is our number one priority. Our teams work closely with clients to address all areas of concern throughout the repair process. Crews receive ongoing training, not only to address typical safety requirements, but also to develop specific safety and communication plans for every project. Additionally, SPS crews assemble daily to perform a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) to identify potential hazards and to implement the proper safety measures.
Education Our innovative approach to structural repairs includes an educational process that is designed to build a unified partnership between your plant personnel and SPS’ highly skilled operations, engineering and specialized workforce. The goal of this team is to gain a collective understanding of the facility and process environment, as well as different repair options, methods and materials available. This educational process establishes a solid foundation for a successful repair program.
Investigation and Design By conducting a forensic condition survey, our goal is to determine the root cause of a structure’s distress. We first observe the outward signs of deterioration and then dig deeper to pinpoint the underlying cause of the problem. Following the condition survey, our team of evaluators analyzes the collective data from both a material science and structural design perspective to develop a report that locates, qualifies and quantifies areas in need of repair.
Innovation and Imagination  After addressing what to repair, we assemble a variety of specialists to formulate repair solutions. With our vast expertise and experience, we analyze each project to identify the best possible repair solutions, taking into account cost, production, down-time and other variables that can impact an owner’s bottom-line. Clients benefit from the brainstorming and imagination of experts gathered to create the optimal solution that meets their specific needs, either by developing a new, innovative application or capitalizing on our existing technologies and experience.
Preplanning Once a repair program has been selected, we engage in a rigorous pre-planning process involving plant personnel, engineers and other team members to examine project details and working conditions. This process is designed to maximize safety, minimize down-time and ensure that the project meets schedule expectations. Because unforeseen circumstances sometimes do occur, we draw upon our experience working on more than 14,000 projects to help us respond to each situation, ensuring that the project is completed on schedule.
