With over 125 years of history, Kinley Construction Group has positioned itself as a national leader in industrial infrastructure. In its Energy Division, led by Tim Millstid, they specialize in bulk liquid terminals that serve sectors such as energy, aviation, government and rail transportation.
Far from offering standard solutions, Kinley begins each project by addressing a specific customer need. From there, it applies a working model that combines customized design, regulatory compliance and a comprehensive approach from execution to technical operation and specialized maintenance.
Needs assessment and technical sizing
Everything starts from a specific request, in which the client requires liquid storage capacity. Kinley is in charge of analyzing critical variables, such as current volumes, future demand, loading and unloading logistics. This evaluation translates into the ideal size of the terminal, number of tanks, number of bays for trucks and loading areas for railroads.
This process, known as right-sizing, reduces costs and avoids unnecessary oversizing. Millstid comments that many times the client arrives with a very big idea, but by studying its operations well, the project can be optimized and made more profitable.
Specialized design with strategic allies
Kinley does not design facilities directly, but works with engineering firms that translate operational needs into concrete technical drawings. These designs are tailored to the type of product to be handled and consider key variables such as fire safety, local regulations, federal codes and site specifics.
Technical collaboration at this stage ensures that each terminal meets exacting standards, both functional and regulatory.
Industrial construction with focus on precision and compliance
Once the design is defined, Kinley moves the project to the field and executes the complete construction of the terminal, which may include storage tanks, metal structures, piping, pumping systems, electrical systems, loading racks and more. Rigorous controls are applied at this stage to ensure that the work is executed according to specifications. The company’s experience in complex industrial contexts allows it to operate with efficiency, safety and technical compliance.
Nationwide operation, inspection and maintenance
Beyond construction, Kinley offers a complete service that includes technical inspections, operational support and terminal maintenance. Specialized teams travel throughout the country to ensure the operational continuity of facilities, minimizing risks and downtime. This 360° approach makes the company a long-term technical partner for its customers.
Tailor-made terminals for the future
With a legacy spanning six generations, Kinley Construction holds firm to its vision of building lasting relationships through projects designed with precision, built with accountability and maintained with commitment.
The bulk liquid terminals market demands expertise, technique and adaptability and Kinley responds with an agile operational structure, normatively sound and deeply connected to the real needs of its customers.
