Creating Control in Unpredictable Circumstances

As health and safety standards on construction sites expand to include social distancing measures, the tried-and-true method of prefabrication is helping projects move forward while keeping workers safe. A proven timesaver, prefabrication allows essential elements such as structural steel, piping, control panels and conduit paths to be built off-site in a controlled environment, like in AZCO’s pipe and metal fabrication facilities. When complete, the pieces are shipped to the job site for assembly or installation.

Making Refineries Safer - Apprenticeship Programs Are Key to SB54's Model for Success

Since California Senate Bill 54 (SB54) took effect in January 2014, California refineries have been transitioning their construction and maintenance contracts to building trade contractors. The goal has been to increase refinery safety through the use of a skilled, highly trained workforce. SB54’s requirement for employing apprentice program graduates helps make that possible.
