Installation
GEM Equipment's role in installation is dependent on geography. For installations in the United States, GEM is capable of setting the equipment, support structure, catwalks and process piping, utilizing crews from the company's Oregon plants. Due to Canadian immigration law, an installation project in Canada requires the use of a crew that is fifty percent Canadian. GEM obtains the Canadian workers from local subcontractors. A large installation project will be managed by a senior leadman. Because they are permanent employees and have built equipment similar to that being installed, these men are well qualified and take personal responsibility for the customer's well being. When required, GEM will furnish a leadman or senior leadman to provide technical guidance to crews installing equipment outside North America.
