Industrial Contractors

Before you hire industrial contractors, be sure they have met the necessary industry requirements and certifications for your project.

It’s crucial that the company you hire is certified to specifically perform the tasks at hand. Some industrial contractors have specific expertise in engineering, environmental clean-ups, heavy industrial construction, oil tank servicing, and many other industry specialties. Be sure the firm you hire has the right skillset and the proper certifications to work on your project.

Industrial contractors must be properly licensed and be in good standing with the State Licensing Board of Contractors. Their team must also be certified in the special tasks they need to complete, have the right amount of liability insurance, and of course, have a solid industry reputation.

The company you hire should be adequately insured to protect your operation and their workers from harm. Some examples of the type of insurance needed is, workers’ compensation insurance, general liability, property insurance and state disability coverage. In addition to being licensed and certified to work on specific projects, make sure the company you hire has rigorous safety measures in place.

When you’re ready to hire environmental or industrial contractors, it’s wise to hire a firm that is able to provide adequate referrals from its customer base. The company you trust with your project should be one with proper qualifications, certifications, and licenses as well. In order to get the work done successfully, safely, and within your expected timeframe, you should ask the company’s referring customer a good number of these questions.
