Arlington-based Kinley Construction has launched its new Industrial Services Division, in what the company called a strategic expansion designed to meet the evolving needs of its clients.

Kinley—a 129-year-old company that recently opened new regional offices in Houston, Kansas City, Denver, and Seattle—said the new division’s creation is the result of the company’s desire to address smaller, yet critical, service requests from new and legacy clients, requests that were previously beyond the scope of the company’s traditional construction services.

“We realized that to sustain our legacy and foster a culture of growth, it was prudent to deliver on these service requests,” Lowell Schaper, director of operations, industrial services, said in a statement. “This new division allows us to take care of our clients in all capacities and areas of need.”

The new division will allow the company to offer a comprehensive suite of services that ensure the seamless operation and maintenance of industrial facilities, further solidifying Kinley’s commitment to excellence and client satisfaction.

A standalone entity

The division operates as a standalone entity, distinct from Kinley’s construction operations, the company said. This separation allows the division to focus on the unique demands of service work that often requires rapid response times and a different operational tempo than construction projects.

“Building out this division has allowed us to meet the marketplace’s expectations for quick, effective service,” Schaper added.

Kinley said that at its core, the Industrial Services Division offers a wide range of services, including:

• Maintenance and repair of piping, valves, pumps, loading arms, and other critical facility components.
• Ongoing support for electrical systems and other infrastructure.
• Preventative maintenance to ensure the longevity and efficiency of client assets.
• Rapid response to unexpected operational interruptions.

“Our goal is to enhance and sustain our clients’ operations, providing support at the drop of a hat to keep everything running smoothly,” Schaper said. “By shifting our focus to preventative measures, we aim to optimize system performance and minimize disruptions, ensuring that our clients’ systems are always in top condition.”

The company said that one of the top services of the new division is the introduction of embedded crews. Kinley said those teams are stationed at client facilities to provide ongoing preventative maintenance and immediate response to any issues that arise.

“Embedded crews allow us to offer unparalleled support, ensuring that any unexpected breakages are addressed immediately,” Chief Operating Officer Mike Riggs said in a statement.

New milestones reached

“We’ve surpassed a year of existence and executed over 100 projects,” Schaper said of the new division. “We’ve also established regional presences in Houston, Nebraska, South Oklahoma, Southern California, and other key locations to ensure we can respond quickly and effectively to our clients’ needs.”

The new division differentiates itself through its dynamic workforce and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction, the company said.

“Our team is capable of addressing a wide range of issues, not just those related to fuels,” Schaper said. “We won’t stop working until we’ve found a solution to get our clients back up and running.”
