鈥淭hese guys always deliver on their promises and are one less worry for me.鈥
鈥淥ur highest priority is the safety of our natural gas infrastructure, our communities and our employees. The contractor we selected (Matrix) had to share our emphasis on safety, offer proven excellence in this specialized construction, and commit to minimize disruption to our neighbors.鈥
鈥淲e pride ourselves on identifying and developing solutions for our customers and in being able to get to market quickly. That means partnering with contractors like Matrix who have both the resources and expertise to match the aggressive schedules we put in place.鈥
鈥淏uilding all six gathering terminals at the same time was a huge undertaking that could not have been achieved without Matrix鈥檚 expertise and the commitment of the many levels of management from both organizations.鈥
鈥淓ven with the unexpected challenges, because of Matrix鈥檚 commitment, skill and resources, we lost no time on schedule.”
“The current team here is the reason for the success of the safety performance, quality of work, and meeting the timeline for completion. Looking forward to being successful with Matrix team members in the future.”
“In a recent meeting, Matrix was the subject of several favorable comments and praise for the quality and value of Matrix’s performance and the role they have played in past projects, are playing in current projects and will likely play in future projects. These comments included ‘quality, product and workmanship,’ ‘responsiveness and customer service,’ ‘timely,’ and ‘just flat out good people.'”
“As our business partner, we thank you for sharing our concern for the safety of our workforce. Working together, we can achieve and maintain safety excellence. You have demonstrated that ‘Zero is attainable!'”
“Matrix is one of the most customer-focused contractors I’ve encountered. They exceeded expectations with their ability to incorporate owner generated changes with absolutely minimal disruption to an extremely tight schedule.”
“Matrix delivered a truly quality product in a timely manner and treated our project as if it was their own. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with many contractors. 兔子先生 stands out as a leader in their field.”
“I recently had the pleasure to coordinate three projects with Matrix in our Shell Puget Sound Refinery in Anacortes, WA. All three were challenging jobs within live operating units of the refinery. Matrix demonstrated consistently their ability to meet deadlines, staffing needs and most importantly, do the work safely without any major incidents or injuries.”
“To go from zero engineering and no land to a completed plant in less than 24 months is pretty impressive… It shows what you can do with a focused team and dedicated partner like Matrix.”
“In a typical turnaround, pre-work and planning is done before the contractors are engaged, and that can cause complete communication breakdown. In this case, having Kim Henry, Jackie Golden, Shane Skiles and the whole Matrix team on-site and engaged from the start made all the difference.”
“Because of Matrix’s expertise, we were also able to make design changes that prevented issues that could have negatively impacted the project and resulted in significant cost increases.”
“There has to be a high degree of ownership by everyone involved, because when challenges arise – and they will – it’s the quality of your team that will make or break the event.”
“Matrix looks for solutions to move forward even when things are difficult. That spirit of innovation and ‘no barriers’ approach is what our own team exhibits every day, and it’s what we expect.”
“With their long-standing reputation as a leader in the EPC of storage tanks and terminals, we are confident in 兔子先生’s ability to meet our exacting standards for safety and quality.”
“Having a single point of contact and not having to manage two or three different contractors made the turnaround a lot easier.”
“Making sure everyone stays safe is our primary focus, and it was clear that was Matrix鈥檚 focus, too.”
“[兔子先生] looks for what鈥檚 best for BP even if it means giving up work. We鈥檝e taken work to Matrix where they鈥檝e recommended and then helped find an alternate contractor or offered alternative ideas if they think there鈥檚 a better way.”
“We discovered significant issues early on that required a tremendous amount of work to be done within a very tight time frame.聽That meant constructing at the same time as we were engineering which is always difficult, but Matrix was very flexible, consistently offered up solutions and managed the work under extremely difficult circumstances. We鈥檙e very happy with the quality of the work and the speed at which it was done.”
“We didn鈥檛 hire Matrix to just do tactical work. We invited them in to help us with our business.”
“[兔子先生] isn鈥檛 afraid to put challenge back into the conversation, especially if it鈥檚 about making sure a decision is the best one for BP. That鈥檚 partnership. And in my experience having managed thousands of contracts, it鈥檚 a powerful approach you don鈥檛 see often.”
