Overview
Great Basin Industrial provides integrated, turnkey construction, fabrication, and maintenance services for heavy industrial markets across North America. It self-performs across plate steel fabrication, API storage tank erection, structural, mechanical, piping, instrumentation and electrical, and railroad work, giving clients a single point of accountability for multi-craft projects. The company supports projects from preconstruction through design-build to startup and commissioning, and often maintains ongoing maintenance programs, reflected in a high rate of repeat business and collaborations with firms like Kiewit, Bechtel, and Burns & McDonnell. Its goal is to be a comprehensive industrial partner that handles projects end-to-end for industries such as mining, power and renewables, oil and gas, water, and data center facilities.
