AIS Group companies have worked across industrial plants for nearly two decades. The disciplines are the same — refractory, welding, fabrication, maintenance — but the application is shaped by each sector's specific environment and constraints.
The same disciplines, the same safety standards, the same process — applied to a cement kiln, a copper smelter, a paper mill, or a power plant. Our people don't need a sector-specific induction to understand the pressure your downtime window creates. They've seen it before.
Our longest-established sector. AIS Group companies have supported cement and lime plant outages for nearly two decades — kiln refractory, mechanical maintenance, fabrication, and full-scope planned shutdowns. We know the constraints of cement plant downtime windows and the tolerances required in kiln lining work.
Refractory and mechanical services for copper smelters, mining facilities, and processing plants. High-temperature environments, tight downtime windows, and technically demanding scopes are standard here. Our teams are experienced working in the confined, high-heat conditions of smelter furnaces and converters.
Welding, mechanical erection, maintenance, and scaffolding across power generation facilities — from routine planned outages to capital project construction. Our experience spans coal, gas, and industrial power generation sites, working around operating unit schedules and strict access requirements.
Industrial maintenance and mechanical services for pulp and paper mills: equipment repairs, welding, and outage management for continuous-process facilities where every hour of downtime has a direct production cost. Our teams understand the pace required when a mill is waiting to restart.
Fabrication, mechanical, civil, and maintenance services for petrochemical and refining facilities across the Gulf Coast. Complex process environments, strict qualification requirements, and stringent safety standards — our crews are pre-qualified and our safety record supports entry into major refinery and chemical plant programmes.
Custom fabrication, structural steel, maintenance, and welding for manufacturing facilities across Texas and nationwide. From warehouse racks and conveyor components to structural upgrades and in-plant maintenance programmes, we work across a wide range of manufacturing environments and facility types.
Every discipline is self-performed. No labour hire agencies, no rented equipment on uncertain maintenance schedules. We control the variables that determine whether your project runs on time.
Our 2025 corporate EMR is 0.54 — well below the industry average of 1.0. That record holds across cement plants, copper smelters, power facilities, and paper mills. Safety practice doesn't change by sector.
Unplanned outages don't follow a sector-specific schedule. Our teams mobilise within 24 hours regardless of the industry — with the right equipment and the right crew for the specific plant environment.
Our capabilities transfer across plant types. If you have an industrial facility and a maintenance or construction challenge, tell us about it. We'll be direct about whether we're the right fit.
