About Westside Technical Services

Westside Technical Services specializes in Shutdown, Turnaround, and Outage engineering for industrial clients. We have supported scope development, front end engineering, planning, and execution activities across several facilities and units. Our services and involvement can be tailored to the needs and strategy of a specific facility or event. The more involvement we have, the more efficiency and value we can provide.

Our expertise in Mechanical Integrity enables our team to incorporate equipment strategy considerations into every maintenance job and capital project. WTS also provides standalone Integrity-based services. Our team is experienced in Damage Mechanism Reviews, Fitness-for-Service Assessments, Risk-Based Inspection Plans, Root Cause Analyses including the 5-Why methodology, and other MI endeavors.

The Westside team has been principally responsible for the engineering efforts of major turnarounds for FCC, Sulfuric Acid Alkylation, Gas Oil Hydrotreating, Distillate and Naphtha Hydrotreating, Cogeneration, Crude, Vacuum Flasher, and Delayed Coking units. We have also supported minor outages in Catalytic Reforming, Steam-Methane Reforming, Hydrocracking, Sulfur Recovery, Oil Recovery, and Sulfuric Acid Regeneration units. We have further expertise in turnarounds for Boilers, API 620 and 650 tanks, and Flares. Beyond turnaround expertise, WTS has extensive experience with Hot Tap and In-Service Welding analyses, temporary repair systems, and Mechanical Integrity assessments. We have a broad range of capabilities and pride ourselves on delivering excellent quality and value on all of our projects.

At WTS, we make all of our decisions to provide the best value and integrity to our clients. We believe in providing right-sized, high-quality services and solutions on every project we undertake. Every time we put pen to paper for a client, we take on the challenge of maximizing every dollar spent on services and equipment. We consider every client a partner and every facility our responsibility to maintain and improve. We emphasize integrity as a mindset, in the solutions we provide and the way we conduct our work. Beyond quality of deliverables, we believe strongly in accountability. We keep our promises, even under pressure. When we encounter an issue, we identify the root cause and communicate our corrective action to all stakeholders. The same principles that build reliable plants build reliable teams, and we are guided by these principles on all our projects.
