Cornerstone Commitments

Integrity Lauren’s commitment to integrity can be

summarized as, “We do what we say!”Many companies today claim to be committed

to integrity, but their actions are not in line with their commitments. For Lauren our commitment to integrity involves more than just words - our actions confirm our commitment.

We maintain an unwavering commitment to integrity throughout all levels of our company, which translates to peace of mind and value for our customers.

Safety Safety is our #1 priority and we have

developed a safety program that is second to none to support this commitment. Our goal is zero accidents, achieved through constant training, rigorous enforcement of safety procedures by all of our employees and accountability.

We understand that the success of a project is only achieved through strict implementation of our safety program, and this philosophy has allowed us to consistently maintain a safety rating well below the industry average.

Our safety program includes more than just promises and good intentions. We are committed to fulfilling our commitments to our customers to provide safe, cost-effective, quality work.

As a testimony to this commitment Lauren has received numerous safety awards, including The Governor’s Award of Excellence, ABC - Safety Excellence Award, and ABC - STEP Diamond Award.

Quality Lauren understands that the quality of work

we provide is directly related to the people we hire. Therefore, we hire only the most competent, experienced and trained individuals. Additionally, we make sure that all of our employees are involved in regular training. Through this focus on continuous improvement, we have developed a reputation for providing quality work. Yet, our paramount concern continues to be not only meeting our customer’s expectations of quality but also exceeding them.

Performance Lauren is known as a contractor that

performs. With qualified craft professionals, we are prepared to perform in accordance with our commitments to meet the demands and schedule of each project. We understand the importance of limiting setbacks and delays, and we employ every means possible to perform responsibly, efficiently, and quickly to meet the demands of our customers.

Modularization

In today’s fast paced construction arena, scheduling and logistics can be the catalyst by which projects are made or broken. Modular construction can give a project the edge that is needed to meet the seemingly unachievable schedules that are often required.

Listedbelowaresomeprimaryadvantages:

• Reductionoffieldmanpowerrequirements

• Mitigation of permitting delays

• Average cost savings of 30% over on-siteconstruction

• Simplerandsaferfielderection

Processskidsandpipe-rackmodulescanbeready to set in place and connected to adjacent processes with ease. Our staff of engineers, designers, fabricators and constructors can help to makeyournextproject’sschedulingmanageable.

From the conceptual stage through engineering, fabrication and installation, we are ready to meet the challenge. With our multiple craft disciplines and nearly 40 acres of fabrication and storage space at our facility, we are able to meet the needs of industry no matter what the requirements. Whether you need equipment skids or pipe rack modules, we can custom build to yourspecificprojectrequirements.Wehavetheexperiencetopullitalltogether.
