What's Your Why Art Contest
Posted: 10/26/2020
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!

Pressed for Time

A vehicle manufacturer’s large stamping press—a massive machine used for shaping body panels—is online and operational thanks to efficient installation by Deep South. The three primary components included a 181-ton press bed (27.72’ L x 16.4’ W x 13.12’ H), 250-ton press crown (28.38’ L x 16.4’ W x 13.12’ H) and a 92-ton press slide (21’ x 10.83’ x 10.5’).
Multi-Module Mission
Posted:01/22/2024
The heavy haul transport of oil and gas refinery components is always a challenge. Transporting 17 modules, all in the span of two weeks, raised the bar. The modules varied greatly in size and weight. Two of the modules exceeded 260,000 lbs., while 11 were more than 16’ high, three were more than 19’ high, and 13 had widths greater than 18’. Initially, the customer had trouble finding a company to move the modules to their site in Texas.
