KAP Project Services, LTD

What KAP Project Services, LTD does

KAP Project Services, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Deer Park, Texas, is a privately held US project controls provider serving industrial facilities that execute shutdowns, turnaround, and outage (STO) events. Its customers are primarily enterprise operators in petrochemical, oil and gas, LNG, power and utilities, data centers, and pharmaceuticals — the company states it works with 12 of the top 20 global oil and petrochemical companies and has delivered 500+ STOs, capital projects, and maintenance efforts across 200+ client sites, with 96% of clients executing multiple STOs with KAP. The firm positions itself as the largest project controls provider in the turnaround space since 2008, anchored by a 20,000+-resume Gulf Coast talent database and a safety record of 7.2+ million man-hours without a recordable incident.

The technology layer is the STOlogix platform, an all-in-one STO management system combining five modules — STOmap (long-range phase-gate planning), STOplanner (scoping and execution), STOmaterial (materials tracking), STOcomm (real-time cloud-based collaboration), and STOcost (AACE/PMI-aligned cost forecasting) — built on .NET MVC5, Entity Framework 6, and MSSQL, deployed on AWS, with embedded Power BI reporting and integrations to Primavera P6 and SAP. C2stat™ provides a unified command-and-control dashboard with real-time schedule, resource, and performance analytics.

KAP generates revenue through three streams: professional services and on-site staffing of planners, schedulers, execution coordinators, turnaround managers, materials managers, and cost engineers; subscription / SaaS licensing of the STOlogix platform; and Remote Planning & Scheduling (RPS), a unit-priced remote delivery service run from Deer Park that the company claims cuts planning costs by 20–50% versus traditional on-site staffing. Go-to-market is sales-led, with account managers developing long-term enterprise relationships, supplemented by industry events, joint webinars with partners (Optelos, JEPCO), and content marketing. Mitchell Capital made a private equity investment in October 2023 to support continued growth.
