KSPS played a crucial role in the successful execution of a complex, multi-unit turnaround at a Flint Hills Resources facility. Beginning with the servicing of six towers, KSPS built a strong partnership with the client through ongoing collaboration and a focus on mutually beneficial outcomes.

Operating with a peak workforce exceeding 200 professionals, KSPS was able to maintain exceptional quality and safety standards and demonstrated remarkable versatility by seamlessly adapting across various work scopes to help keep the turnaround on schedule and aligned with the customer’s operational goals.
