PLANT SERVICES
Our Plant Services offer construction management, supervision, and the dedicated workforce to get your projects done right and on-time.
Roberts’ core business is to provide construction solutions, resources, and support for facility owners and managers. We especially focus on capital projects, turnarounds, outages, renovations, and execution of repairs. Relationships are at the heart of our business. Rather than focus on a single project or process, we strive for long-term relationships with our customers—relationships built around dependability, responsiveness, results, and most importantly, trust. Unlike the typical construction contract method, Roberts can act as an extension of your facilities construction and support team. We can provide construction management, organize, and execute contract scope, and even manage multiple projects at one time. This means less overhead and less headache for you and your team. We take pride in responding creatively to construction and expansion challenges while still maintaining a results-oriented approach. Our teams are composed of seasoned professionals, whose experience and knowledge add value to projects of all sizes, complexity, and duration. We have experienced staff and craftsmen teams throughout the Southeast that have helped many of our clients complete their projects safely, on time, and within established budgets.
Our plant services have provided continuous on-site support to many industries for more than 45 years. We offer a full range of knowledge and skills necessary to keep your plant producing, including 24-hour emergency service personnel for turnaround and maintenance projects. Roberts has well trained civil, structural, erection, precision alignment, mechanical, piping, electrical, and instrumentation skilled craft personnel to completely support or supplement your needs during high load periods.
