BP Whiting Refinery Expansion

The Work

Superior Construction has worked closely with the BP Refinery for more than 50 years. We partnered with various construction managers on this modernization project, including Foster Wheeler USA Corp, Fluor Corporation, and Jacobs Engineering Group, with our team providing civil and logistical support and acting as the local contractor. Over a span of five years we assisted with five areas of the BP Whiting Refinery modernization: the 250,000 barrel-per-day crude distillation unit known as the No. 12 Pipe Still, OSBL piping, a gas oil hydrotreater, a new coker unit, and sulfur recovery complex (SRU).

The Superior team was responsible for demolition, excavation, site work, sheet pile installation, helical pile installation, concrete paving, precast and cast-in-place concrete foundation installation, structural steel assembly and erection, and heavy rigging for module installation. We also handled the equipment setting and aligning, precision alignment of compressors, pumps, ID fans and motors, epoxy and cementitious grouting, as well as logistical support including bussing, heavy hauling, trucking, water distribution, general maintenance, start-up and commissioning assistance, and project controls.
