The full story

The tough jobs are our specialty

High stakes. Tight spaces. Live plants. Done right. Done safe.

Some projects need a different take. When a job is too tight, too messy or too complex for a by-the-book approach, we find a way to get it done, and we never cut corners on safety to do it.

Some projects need a different take. When a job is too tight, too messy or too complex for a by-the-book approach, we find a way to get it done, and we never cut corners on safety to do it.

A different take

Creative problem-solving for the work others pass on: hard access, tight schedules and plans that don't work on paper.

Built for tough conditions

Ground-up sites, operating plants, occupied buildings and underground work. We're comfortable where the work gets hard.

Dangerous, done safely

The riskier the job, the more planning it gets: a site-specific safety plan, a JSA for every task and stop-work authority for every worker.

Safety first

Everyone goes home safe. Every day.

Safety is the first item on every VCS job and it is never traded for speed. Every worker on our crews has the authority to stop work that looks unsafe.

Stop-work authority

Any worker can stop the job, without fear of retaliation.

A plan for every job

Site-specific safety plans and a job safety analysis for each task.

Your facility keeps running while we work. Here is what we commit to on every job.

One point of contact

One VCS project manager is your contact from proposal to closeout, so you always know who to call and who is accountable.

Clear communication

Straight answers on scope, price and schedule, and early word on anything that affects your operations. No surprises.

Safe, clean work in occupied facilities

We protect your floors and finishes, keep work areas clean and secured, and plan around the people still working in your building.

A schedule we keep

We plan around your outages, shifts and access rules, and we build a schedule we can commit to.

Going above and beyond

When the plan doesn't work on paper, we find a way.

On a project at the Kentucky State Penitentiary, there was no way to drive a mini excavator into the work area. Our team rigged it and craned it over the fence instead.

That's how we approach your project: think past the obstacle, do it safely, and keep your schedule moving.
