Communications

Starting with pre-project conferences to outline the scope of work, manpower needs, and scheduling issues, our contractors keep lines of communication open throughout the life of the project. We also work to complete projects without production missing a beat by adjusting work schedules around peak production hours and scheduling shifts during non-typical work hours.

Partnerships

We actively develop industry partnerships to provide customers with exactly what is needed on the job site. A sampling of our partnerships includes Siemens Generation Service, General Electric (APM), Exelon, and FlowServe. For instance...

When a demand for turbine and compressor experts surfaced, we worked with Atlantic Plant Maintenance and Siemens to develop gas and steam turbine qualification programs to train our millwrights in the newest power plant technology. We also partnered with Ingersoll Rand to acquire reciprocating compressor equipment to train for installation and maintenance skills.

Quality Work

Quality Work via Quality Training

At the UBC’s International Training Center, Eastern Millwrights hone additional skills in confined space and pumps. They also gain skills by working with two 25-ton overhead bridge cranes and four 20-ton overhead bridge cranes.

At the core of every training course and on the minds of every jobsite crew is safety. A safe work site is achieved only by comprehensive training for every millwright on every project. A full line of safety courses and qualifications are offered to our millwrights every year.

We spend millions of dollars each year to train our thousands of millwrights—from first-year apprentices to Superintendents. Manpower shortages plaguing our region are alleviated by Eastern Millwrights, thanks to our standardized training and mobility, so that every millwright arrives at every job site with the same set of superior skills.

As a result, Eastern Millwrights are regarded as being the best trained and most well-prepared for any project in any location.
For instance:
