“This letter only does faint justice to the honour I feel in having worked with both of you. It was a wonderful experience that I hope to revisit as soon as another opportunity presents.”

Conoco Phillips

“Despite the difficulties presented due to the additional safety protocols and the additional scope of work, K&D Turnaround helped Central Alberta Midstream come in on schedule, on budget, and with NO recordable incidents or injuries for this project.

Based on their high level of experience, quality of work and versatility while under pressure I unreservedly recommend K&D Turnaround Services Inc.”

Tower Inspections

We have a skilled, knowledgeable team to perform inspections of tower internals during turnarounds or pre-commissioning. A deficient installation can cause many issues, such as: uneven distribution of liquid or vapour, increased vibration, accelerated wear and damage to the internals. These issues ultimately lead to reduced separation, poor performance and increased maintenance costs.

Some Common Deficiencies

Misalignment or mis-leveling
Uneven packing
Inadequate torquing
Gaps and leaks

Material compatibility
Incomplete installation
Inadequate clearances and spacing
Inadequate seal-welding or gasketing

Customer Comments:

When it comes to tower inspections, we always use https://www.kanddturnaround.com/services/.

They never dissapoint. Full on report, very detailed inspection and they come with their own high angle and confined space rescue team and watch. They have found and fixed many things and don’t make a big deal of findings, professional group.

They will want all of the tower detail drawings, but they’ll let you know.

Here’s an example of their work. As long as they have the correct detailed drawings, we have not had to get back into a distillation tower after it’s buttoned up once they’ve gone through it.

Rescue Services

There are many good high-angle and confined space rescue teams available for turnarounds, but none know their way through towers like K&D. Our specialization in distillation columns means our cross-trained team is prepared to handle complex tower rescues with confidence and efficiency.

We have an inventory of specialty rescue equipment and conduct regular training to ensure we are always prepared for turnarounds.

Providing rescue and tower field services together can optimize resources, lead to cost savings, and add peace of mind.
