“I recently had the pleasure to coordinate three projects with Matrix [Service] in our Shell Puget Sound Refinery in Anacortes, WA. All three were challenging jobs within live operating units of the refinery. Matrix demonstrated consistently their ability to meet deadlines, staffing needs and most importantly, do the work safely without any major incidents or injuries.”

“Matrix [NAC] isn’t the mega-sized construction company, but they also aren’t a small boutique firm. They provide a tremendous amount of flexibility and ingenuity, and are actively engaged at every level. At REV LNG, we pride ourselves on listening to our customers and doing out best to design and implement the best strategy and solutions for them. Matrix does the same.”

David Kailborne

“The scale and timeliness associated with this work required your talent and commitment to safety, quality, budget and schedule, and Matrix delivered outstanding results in this regard.”

Leo Golden
Vice President, Major Projects Execution, US

“In a typical turnaround, pre-work and planning is done before the contractors are engaged, and that can cause complete communication breakdown. In this case, having Kim Henry, Jackie Golden, Shane Skiles and the whole Matrix team on-site and engaged from the start made all the difference.”

Jimmy Mendler
Turnaround Event Manager
Shell Deer Park Refinery

“Because of Matrix’s expertise, we were also able to make design changes that prevented issues that could have negatively impacted the project and resulted in significant cost increases.”

Adam Lecompte

“There has to be a high degree of ownership by everyone involved, because when challenges arise – and they will – it’s the quality of your team that will make or break the event.”

“[Matrix Service] looks for what’s best for BP even if it means giving up work. We’ve taken work to Matrix where they’ve recommended and then helped find an alternate contractor or offered alternative ideas if they think there’s a better way.”

Brian Barclay
Maintenance and Reliability Manager
BP Cherry Point Refinery

“We discovered significant issues early on that required a tremendous amount of work to be done within a very tight time frame.  That meant constructing at the same time as we were engineering which is always difficult, but Matrix was very flexible, consistently offered up solutions and managed the work under extremely difficult circumstances. We’re very happy with the quality of the work and the speed at which it was done.”

Roger Kelley
President and CEO
Ryckman Creek Resources, LLC,
a subsidiary of Peregrine Midstream Partners

“[Matrix Service] isn’t afraid to put challenge back into the conversation, especially if it’s about making sure a decision is the best one for BP. That’s partnership. And in my experience having managed thousands of contracts, it’s a powerful approach you don’t see often.”

Brian Barclay
Maintenance and reliability manager
BP Cherry Point Refinery

“We appreciate your partnership in the safety and quality culture and processes that guide our projects and applaud the fact that over the course of the past two years, you have worked over 750,000 hours on 21 tanks at three different terminals with no lost time injuries.”
