What's Your Why Art Contest

Our Deep South family is not defined by just those that physically come to work every day. It includes daughters, sons, nieces, nephews, wives, husbands, and grandchildren – all of which play an important part of why we come to work each day and stay safe.

To include these extensions of our “family,” Deep South is hosting an art contest for the children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews of Deep South employees who are ages 3 – 18. Submissions will be used for a 2021 safety campaign. We hope that this artwork provides children a means of self-reflection and expression to show what they love about you or what you do!

A High Pressure Exchange

Assembling the 1,500T VersaCrane™ TC-24000 off site and moving it via SPMT saved this client 15 days of downtime and allowed the refinery unit to run at full capacity until unit shutdown. During the scheduled outage, Deep South was tasked to replace two coke drums, each weighed 452,800 lbs and were 19’-2” outside diameter and 96’-0” long and were comparable in size and weight to the old drums.
