Pillar Consulting Group combines a strong background of experience in building construction, plant infrastructure, and engineering to provide industrial facilities with access to critical expertise on-demand.
We have extensive experience in industrial plants and have a unique appreciation for the needs of facility owners, maintenance managers and plant engineers. Our expertise includes fire and life-safety code review studies and planning; building and facilities layout and design; retrofit and addition to existing facilities where shutdowns are difficult or impossible; building projects where the role of equipment and processes dominate the functional requirements; and small projects that are every bit as important as larger capital improvements.
No matter the size of your industrial project, we can help to make it successful. We are experienced and comfortable acting as the lead project consultant, coordinating the efforts of multiple, specialty, sub-consultants and managing the overall project effort, or acting in a more limited and focused role as a source of technical expertise to the industrial client’s existing team.
We have worked with large corporations, such as Teledyne, Ladish, Allegany, Georgia-Pacific, Fort James, Pope and Talbot, and Weyerhaeuser as well as small and medium sized industrial and manufacturing firms. Our facilities services include the design and analysis of:
