It's #ThrowbackThursday and we're going way back to the days of disco, roller rinks, drive-in theaters, bellbottom jeans, leisure suits, Good Times, and The Jeffersons! This photo (taken circa 1979-80), shows the Powers & Sons Construction team hard at work spreading concrete for a new tank ring foundation at the Amoco (now BP) refinery in Whiting, Indiana. The effort was part of an upgrade to what was then a new refining process called isomerization, which improved gasoline performance. #generalcontracting

Have you ever wondered what the oil and gas industry used before the pig was invented? Follow R.B. Williamson Energy Advisors to learn more about the oil and gas industry.
Celebrating our roots doesn’t mean being stuck in the past. We’re forward thinkers, but it’s still fun to reflect on the early days of pipeline integrity. Like with this old “Go-Devil” pig, on display during our Flag Day open house at Tulsa Operations. Crudely made of metal and leather, and nothing more, the Go-Devil was originally called "Pipe Line Cleaner." It was invented by John S. Klein for the National Transit Pump and Machine Co. and patented in 1885. The industry has come a long way since then. If you’re interested in learning which pigs and pigging program are right for your pipeline, reach out to one of the R.B.

#TBT to one of our steel stack projects! In 2017/2018, DOMINION Bierrum were contracted to replace 3 steel stacks to the OCGT at Aberthaw Power Station.🏭 🏗️The project involved the removal of the existing stacks supported within a lattice tower and then the replacement of these flues with new. All removal and installation was performed using strand jacking techniques. The replacement of steel stacks contributes with the maximization of efficiency inside the plant, reducing the emission of gases and harmful particles into the atmosphere.🌱 #DOMINIONBierrum #DOMINION #Stackreplacement #Aberthawpowerstation #SteelStacks #Replacement #Throwbackthursday
