Maintenance
At Total-Western, we view maintenance as a vital partnership and our primary goal is to assist owners in reducing their overall ownership costs. This approach has solidified our reputation as a trusted, long-term partner in plant maintenance, a status we diligently uphold each day. Our maintenance efforts focus on improving reliability, controlling costs, enhancing safety, increasing productivity, and implementing advanced strategies for optimal asset performance.
Throughout our 50-year history, we’ve serviced various sectors, including petrochemical, refining, food and beverage, pulp and paper, power/energy, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical industries. Our comprehensive service range covers nested teams, outages, shutdowns, supplemental labor, fabrication, bulk material handling, packaging/logistics, and facility services, all designed to meet or surpass your expectations.
Our distinguished standing stems from our deployment of a highly skilled direct hire maintenance workforce, including carpenters, millwrights, mechanics, welders, pipefitters, boilermakers, equipment operators and riggers. In addition, we have developed strategic partnerships to cover any required trade including electrical and instrumentation, scaffolding, painting and insulation.
These professionals are supported by an experienced site management team proficient in the use of maintenance tools. These tools provide insights into site performance, tool-time efficiency, and workforce productivity, backed by comprehensive dashboards that offer robust analytics to identify trends and increase productivity.
Outages & Turnarounds
As part of our maintenance portfolio, we also offer comprehensive turn-key solutions for facility turnarounds, outages or shutdowns for short-term, high-intensity maintenance events requiring precise scope definition, meticulous planning, efficient execution, and real-time progress and cost tracking. We ensure satisfaction by deploying experienced supervisors, skilled craftsmen, support specialists, and project management teams.
Understanding the importance of safety during these events, we adhere to the principle that every injury and accident is preventable. Our commitment to a zero-incident vision is backed by relentless efforts to identify and eliminate workplace hazards. This commitment is reinforced by strong management support, extensive Total-Western training for all employees, and the integration of our proactive P.A.S.S. program in every task performed by our Total-Western team.

With our vast expertise in maintenance services and extensive client portfolio, Total-Western has the knowledge and resources necessary to navigate the shift from traditional to predictive maintenance for both current and prospective clients.
