Our SERVICES

From Opening to Final Closure

Full-scope catalyst handling, mechanical services, and facility-specific support executed by crews with direct field experience in each envirenment.

Opening & Inspection

Tray-Tec handles vessel access from start to finish, from blind-to-blind flange work and bolting to opening internal and external manways. Once the vessel is open, our team inspects trays, packing, supports, distributors, mist eliminators and other internals, so you know the real condition of your equipment before repairs begin.

Repair, Cleaning & Internals

Our crews remove damaged or existing components, clean and repair trays, replace hardware, install nozzles, and remove and install tower and reactor internals. With high-pressure water-jet cleaning, scaffolding and crane support, we bring the resources to complete the work without bringing in additional contractors.

QA/QC & Closure

Before your vessel returns to service, every repair and replacement component is checked against the applicable drawings, OEM requirements, your specifications and governing code requirements. We close up with hydraulic torquing and tensioning, so your equipment is reassembled correctly and ready to run.

How we stand apart

Built on safety,
Backed by experience.

Two  principles define every turnaround Tray-Tec executes, and each one directly protects your schedule, your people and your asset.

Uncompromising Safety Standards

Every turnaround job we execute begins and ends with safety. Our crews are fully trained for inert (IDLH) entry, confined space work and hazardous atmosphere protocols. We are ISNetworld, Avetta and PEC compliant, so you can trust that everyone on site meets the highest industry standards.

Industry-Experienced Supervisory Team

Our supervisors bring decades of hands-on experience in towers, reactors and process equipment across refineries, chemical plants and LNG facilities. We don’t send rookies to manage your turnaround. We send specialists who have seen it all and know how to get it done right the first time.

End-to-End Turnkey Capability

TrayTec handles the full scope — unloading, loading, dense loading, screening, and all associated mechanical and flange work. One contractor. One point of contact. No gaps. Our turnkey approach minimizes your downtime and keeps your project on schedule.

Our Experiences

Our technicians have worked inside towers and reactors across most U.S. states, as well as South Africa, South America and beyond. That field-level expertise means faster execution and a safer job site, every time. As a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and a fully compliant contractor under ISNetworld, Avetta and PEC, Tray-Tec brings the credentials and the capability to deliver on your most demanding turnaround projects.
