What Inserv does
Inserv (legal name: Integrated Service Company) is a privately held, US-based industrial construction and energy services contractor headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, operating since 1995 and reorganized in 2022 as a single corporate umbrella over seven to nine specialized operating divisions. The company delivers integrated mechanical, construction, turnaround, manufacturing, heater, tank, scaffolding, inspection, and millwright services directly to enterprise customers at their plant sites, with 200+ permanent field staff scaling to roughly 1,200 personnel during the Spring and Fall refinery turnaround peak seasons. Its primary markets are US oil refining and petrochemical facilities, with secondary exposure to power, ammonia, agribusiness, mining, renewables, hydrogen, emerging technologies, and food and beverage processing.
The company's technical core sits in two differentiated areas: (1) Great Southern Technologies (GST), a specialty heater engineering subsidiary in Broken Arrow, OK that holds a registered patent on flameless combustion technology delivering 3-8 ppm NOx without SCR at 91% LHV efficiency, supplemented by proprietary heater performance analysis software, in-house CFD modeling, and tight-sealing observation doors for fired heaters; and (2) the Tank Inspection & Consulting Services division, which uses the proprietary MST-10 multisensory Tank Floor Scanner alongside magnetic flux leakage, NDT, and 3D scanning for API-653 inspections, having completed over 1,000 internal and 3,000+ external inspections since founding in 2015 with a 9+ year recordable-free safety record.
Inserv operates a project-based, quote-driven revenue model across multiple revenue streams — Field Services, Construction & Turnaround Services, Manufacturing Services, Heater Services, Project Services, Scaffolding & Insulation, Tank Services, and Tank Inspection & Consulting — sold through direct enterprise field sales with 24/7 emergency response as a key demand driver. Its 28-acre Tulsa facility, 135+ truckloads of owned cuplock scaffolding, in-house manufacturing capacity for FCCU components and process heaters, and skilled union-affiliated labor pool form the capital and operational backbone that supports large multi-discipline projects such as the Saint Croix Plant Restart (approximately 2 million manhours, 162,809 LF of piping installed). Revenue, ownership structure, and customer concentration are not publicly disclosed.
