Our Completed Projects

Doosan Bobcat

Doosan Bobcat in Johnson Creek, Wisconsin. We completed the design and installation of a massive 200,000-square-foot renovation that included 1,800 sprinkler heads. Utilizing our orbital welder, We were able to prefabricate all of the sprinkler piping for this project.

One of the biggest challenges during the installation was completing the work while the plant remained fully operational. Our team worked around and above active machinery throughout the facility, requiring detailed coordination, strict safety measures, and careful scheduling. Through clear communication and proactive planning with plant management, we successfully completed the project safely and on schedule.

Springhill Suites

    I tried Southport because I got a coupon in the mail, and the price for a furnace inspection was excellent. Everybody that I spoke to was helpful and prompt. The technician was knowledgable and he explained everything in detail while showing me photos of each aspect of the system. I appreciated the kindness and expertise of the technician, and I will definitely call on Southport again.
