Core Industry

Cement & Lime

We know cement plants because we came from working in cement plants. We keep things running.

Southern serves virtually every aspect of cement and lime facilities efficiently and affordably. We are available 24/7 for any maintenance, repair, or upgrade to keep your facility operational and performing as optimally as possible.

What We Do

Four Ways We Support Cement & Lime Plants

Mechanical

We handle everything related to the mechanical aspects of production plants, including repairs to existing systems and installation of new equipment. From kiln seals to stacks, we repair what you need in a cost-effective manner to keep production at full capacity. Our team has 250+ years combined experience in industrial fabrication and maintenance.

Repairs

We keep your plant running after a shutdown, dedicating welders, engineers, and staff to 24/7 shifts until your plant is back to 100% operational capacity — from dust collectors to large stacks and equipment.
