Congratulations to our Blanchard Industrial division who was recently award multiple projects for a downstream client including scopes of fabrication and installation of catwalks and tank insulation installation. One of the projects also afforded our team to begin providing soft craft capabilities for this long-time client. Blanchard was also awarded a project to upgrade living quarters for an additional client which has continued to allow our team to expanded our services within the Texas region. Great job to all team members involved for securing these wins!

Congratulations to our Blanchard Industrial team that has been working steadfast in partnership with one of our Downstream Clients to remove a 15MM fused rubber lining in a 45K Acid Tank. Utilizing proprietary GIS Heat Induction Lining Removal Technology in place of ultra-high pressure water jetting, the Blanchard Industrial crew made quick work of the difficult task of removing bonded rubber lining in preparation for the tank repurposing. The team has been recognized by the client for the technical aptitude, commitment to safety, and professionalism on the project.

This is amazing work from the combined capabilities of our family of companies.

“We have been more than pleased with our partnership with Blanchard Industrial. The Blanchard Industrial provided lining removal services using their heat induction technology has been a gamechanger in safety for our projects.”

Earlier this month, our team members from GIS Engineering and Blanchard supported one of our main downstream clients, Formosa, in their 2022 United Way Charity Golf Tournament, where our team also took First Place in the “Grub in the Club” cook off.
The Formosa Charity Golf Tournament is one of the largest contributors for the Calhoun & Victoria Counties. This golf tournament assists thousands of people within those communities through programs and services that fight for health, education, and financial stability.

Blanchard Industrial was awarded a Rubber Lining Removal project for a downstream client earlier this year. The scope of this project included the team removing approximately 3,070 square feet of rubber liner from Tank MF21-049 in Westlake, LA. This work was performed in partnership with Thorpe Rubber Lining Division and represented the 5th successful rubber lining removal project partnered with them. This project was completed in 8 working days with an 8 man crew, all while remaining on schedule and under budget. Thanks to the continuous excellent work performed by the Blanchard Industrial crew, it has resulted in many additional project awards within this new service line.

“Robert Davis and his crew did a great job getting the project done while fighting weather that flooded the tank floor and a schedule change from the client.”

As Blanchard approaches the final stages of this project, with approximately 200,000 man hours.

“I would like to thank the superb staff for the incredible work they have all done to help get this close to the finish line. I’d like to also thank all of the folks that work behind the scenes to help make this machine keep moving. Our MOST valuable asset as an organization, is not the equipment, the tools, the trucks, the offices or material things--it’s our PEOPLE. Without them we are nothing. Without them we fail.”

GIS Industrial Engineering was recently awarded an EPC project for a client in Bayport, TX where the team was contracted to replace a level gauge and design & fabricate an elevated access platform to increase operations’ accessibility. Since then, they have completed the engineering design and majority of the fabrication needed for the project.

Great job to Project Engineer Will Addison for leading the efforts on this project. Will is working heavily with Structural Engineering Lead Brian Raef, along with Fabrication PM Carl Bourque and David Simmons from our Blanchard Industrial team. Great job to all teams within our GIS family of companies for the completion of this EPC project so far!
