WHY STRATUS?

A PARTNER BUILT FOR OPERATING FACILITIES

Pipeline and Industrial projects demand more than technical design. They require an execution partner that understands operating constraints, safety expectations, regulatory requirements, and the realities of working within active facilities.

Stratus brings a collaborative, disciplined approach developed through decades of experience supporting refining, midstream, pipeline, and industrial assets across the United States.

Our teams integrate seamlessly with owner organizations, applying established work processes and stage-gate execution to deliver predictable outcomes. Whether supporting a single capital project or an ongoing portfolio of improvements, Stratus emphasizes clear scope definition, constructability, and communication to reduce risk and improve project certainty.

What clients value most:

• Experience working in operating and PSM-covered facilities

• Strong execution in brownfield, retrofit, and expansion environments

• Integrated, multi-discipline engineering teams

• Consistent project controls and clear communication

• A practical, safety-focused approach to delivery

INTEGRATED DELIVERY, ONE TEAM

Stratus operates as a unified firm, bringing together process, mechanical, piping, electrical, civil, structural, environmental, and project management expertise under a single coordinated delivery model. This integrated approach reduces handoffs, improves coordination, and allows issues to be identified and resolved earlier in the project lifecycle.

Stratus has built deep technical capability while maintaining a consistent culture and delivery standard. Clients benefit from access to specialized expertise without sacrificing accountability or continuity.

PROJECT DELIVERY ACROSS THE ASSET LIFECYCLE

Stratus supports refining and industrial clients across every phase of project execution, including:

• Front-end engineering and feasibility studies

• Capital planning and project definition

• Detailed engineering and design

• Permitting and regulatory coordination
