The Shell Norco Manufacturing Complex (NMC) would like to express our appreciation for the contributions by Altair Strickland during our 2019 Who Dat Crackin’ Turnaround This event was one of the largest and most complex turnarounds in the site’s history and was the culmination of over two years of planning and 1.1 million work hours of execution. Your contribution to this highly successful event has helped position NMC for continued safe and competitive production for years to come.
The Altair team was instrumental in developing and optimizing the plan and schedule for the Reactor/Riser Cyclone Replacement project. The scope of this project was likely unprecedented to be executed during a turnaround and therefore presented many challenges. Altair’s leadership and employees were continually resilient as they overcame these challenges and delivered in a most professional manner.

I wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks and gratitude for all the hard work and professionalism that the Altair Strickland staff displayed during our recent FCCU Turnaround. Your organization and the team members you had on site during the execution, worked extremely hard to meet our schedule and they did so while maintaining a strong focus on safety and quality.
Your organization showed great team work with all parties involved and we’ve heard nothing but good things from the folks in the field that your interfaced with every day.
Altair was challenged with managing and executing the largest segment of this work and did so with great quality and craftsmanship.
