Our Critical Success Factors

People
People are at the heart of everything we do and the most important asset of our company. We value, respect, and protect everyone inside and outside of the enterprise including employees, business partners, supply-chain partners, clients/customers, and our communities.
Safety
Commitment to safety tops our list of priorities. We strive to create a safe work environment for our employees, our partners, and the public at large. We leave the work area in good condition and practice environmental stewardship.
Production
We agree to a price and work schedule that we can honor, recognizing that our partners make commitments based on our costs and timeframe. We aim to set realistic production rates and avoid compromising safety, quality, or care of equipment in order to meet a production schedule.
Proper Care of Equipment & Tools
HSS invests in and maintains the proper equipment and machinery required by the projects we undertake. We view the condition of our equipment as a reflection of our professionalism and consequently keep the equipment looking good and running smoothly.
Client Service
We are in service to the partners who put the success of a project in our hands. We strive to deliver each project on-time and on-budget, and we endeavor to uphold our professional obligation to our partner’s shareholders, business partners, and end users.
