Construction Business Review

Spyglass Solutions
A Reliable Staff Augmentation Partner Maximizing Operational Excellence

The oil and gas industry, with its healthiest balance sheet, is moving toward a future of accelerated energy transition. Numerous construction projects are in full swing with a focus on achieving operational excellence. However, project managers have to contend with the shortage of manpower proficient in the construction, installation, and management of oil and gas pipelines, which are governed by stringent safety and environmental compliance.

What Spyglass Solutions does exceptionally well is helping these companies deploy certified and qualified veterans and skilled personnel in their projects.

“We are a one-stop solution for the oil and gas industry’s construction staffing and project management requirements,” says Jeff Orr, general manager of Spyglass Solutions.

A veteran-owned and run company, Spyglass provides its valued customers with handpicked expert construction managers and inspectors, IT staffing, engineers, draftsmen, and procurement support to efficiently and safely facilitate their project’s success. While most construction operations involve welding gas pipelines and oil storage units, Spyglass ensures its pipeline operators have the in-depth know-how of the operations to recognize and take proactive measures to alleviate abnormal operating conditions that may occur while performing specific tasks.

Established as a provider of construction management, QA and QC inspection services, Spyglass emerged as a reliable, long-term construction staffing company after collaborating with a renowned oil pipeline company, which hired its first construction inspector for a project. Currently, it has deployed 15 employees from Spyglass in various job roles and project sites. Its business development team constantly communicates with the client's project managers to ensure they have the right team and resources assigned for the project.

Spyglass’s success story is scripted by its team of industry veterans anchored on the tenets of discipline, attention to detail, and following the chain of command. An authorized Veriforce evaluator and NCCER master trainer, Spyglass offers the finest operator qualification evaluation and safety training, which are standard requirements for clients in the oil and gas industry.

Making Spyglass stand out from the pack is that it does not stop assigning staff but goes the extra mile to provide holistic support for its clients. It offers construction, engineering, and procurement services and finds ideal solutions for every client requirement.

Substantiating this is an instance when it lent a helping hand to a client when a train derailed and ran into its pipeline valves and damaged them. A Spyglass inspector working for them reached out in the middle of the night requesting trailers and ATVs needed to assess the damage in remote areas near the derailment. Spyglass came to their rescue by finding trailers and ATVs as quickly as possible from around the country and helped the client successfully haul them away.

In addition, Spyglass deftly tackles the crucial cybersecurity challenge faced by the industry. To make its clients cyber-immune, Spyglass has partnered with another veteran-owned and run company to provide cutting-edge IT and cybersecurity support services.

Honing on its exceptional construction staffing and augmentation capabilities, Spyglass is diligently working to become a government contractor and an ISO 9000 company with an unmatched tenacity to better serve a roster of customers in the oil and gas industry.
