What Gallop does
GALLOP Corporation is a Houston, Texas-based industrial mechanical engineering company operating two divisions: Tower Field Service and Vessel Fabrication. The Tower Field Service Division provides on-site installation, repair, and specialty welding services for refinery and petrochemical tower internals — including tray installations, structured and random packing installations, chimney trays, weld overlay/inlay, and resections — primarily during plant turnarounds. The Vessel Fabrication Division designs, engineers, fabricates, and machines custom pressure vessels (both code and non-code) at the company's Houston facility, working in carbon steel, stainless steel, Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel, and other specialty alloys.
The business is anchored by deep craft credentials: average management tenure of 26 years, average welder experience of 15 years, and supervisory experience exceeding 20 years in tower field services. The company holds ASME Section VIII Division 1 'U' Stamp and National Board Inspection Code 'R' Stamp qualifications, which gate entry to code-compliant pressure-vessel work for U.S. refining and petrochemical operators. Its lineage runs to Landry Specialty Welding (LSW), founded in the early 1960s in Houston, whose portfolio included NASA Apollo-era components, Astroworld lamp posts, and the Houston Zoo's Trojan Bear structure; GALLOP itself was formed in 2007 when a team of tower field service and vessel fabrication specialists acquired the LSW assets. The firm maintains a 24-hour management-access line and advertises the ability to mobilize crews anywhere in the U.S. within 24 hours.
GALLOP is a privately held S corporation employing between 101 and 250 people, structured for "slow, managed growth," with no disclosed external investors or parent company. Revenue is generated through project-based fabrication orders and turnaround service contracts priced via RFQ-style quoting, served through direct enterprise field sales across the Gulf Coast region and a stated international reach that is not quantified. Vertical segmentation is narrow — refining, petrochemical, and chemical process industries — with no consumer, SMB, or distributed-volume channel.
