Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
I am pleased to highly recommend RCSL and Mr. Ramsell for all refractory consultation and installation services. RCSL were able to deliver quality workmanship safely while conforming to all relevant industrial codes and standards including ASTM and API and material specifications. Without Mr. Ramsell's direct approach to management and supervision, the turnarounds would not have progressed without substantial delays and significant safety implications.
Your company proved to be a professional experienced contractor and an effective organizer who fulfilled its contractual obligations and performed the works of the required quality within the scheduled deadlines. The distinctive characteristics of RCSL are flexibility, mobility in solving the assigned tasks, high competence of the employees as well as initiative and efficient response.
Mr Ramsell did a terrific job at site and was an asset to our project organisation. He was always willing to offer his assistance and had an excellent contact with the final customer. His communication skills, his work organization, and his positive personality in front of a big challenge ensure that the project was completed in a timely manner while keeping the good morale of the team. I strongly recommend him for any refractory project execution.
