When the Job Goes Into a Confined Space, You Need the Right Crew
Certified confined space entry and cleaning for paper mills, chicken plants, refineries, and industrial facilities across Louisiana and East Texas.
Or Call (318) 545-4002
Confined space work doesn't leave room for error. One wrong decision on entry — wrong equipment, wrong training, wrong team — and you've got a fatality, a shutdown, and a compliance nightmare on your hands.
That's why plant supers in North Louisiana, East Texas, and South Arkansas don't put this work out to just anybody.
Whiteds Industrial has been doing confined space entry and cleaning for over 45 years. We've worked inside paper mills, chicken processing plants, wastewater vessels, industrial tanks, and oil and gas facilities across the region. We show up with the right equipment, the certified crew, and the experience to get it done without incident.
If you're checking us out, here's what you need to know.
What We Handle
-
Full OSHA-compliant entry procedures. Atmospheric testing, ventilation, standby attendant, rescue-capable crew. We don't skip steps because skipping steps gets people killed.
-
Sludge, scale, buildup — we pull it out. Whether it's a storage tank, process vessel, or separator, we've seen the inside of all of them.
-
We move material out of spaces that most contractors won't touch. Tight access points, limited visibility, hazardous atmospheres — this is routine for us.
-
Backed-up separators don't wait. We clean them out, dispose of the material properly (LaDEQ permitted), and get your system running again.
-
Industrial grease traps and collection pits cleaned and hauled. Properly. Every time.
-
Buildup in cooling towers and dissolved air flotation units cleaned out with high-pressure equipment. Access where others can't get.
-
If it breaks at 2 AM, call us at 2 AM. We respond.
Why Industrial Facilities Call Whiteds
40 Years in the Field
Not 40 years in an office. 40 years on job sites, inside vessels, in industrial facilities. We know what these spaces look like from the inside because we've been in them.
Licensed and Registered
Louisiana License #27684. LaDEQ Permitted Facility for solid waste. Registered with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the Texas Railroad Commission. Our paperwork is in order so yours can be too.
OSHA-Compliant Entry Every Time
We don't wing it. Atmospheric testing, lockout/tagout, attendants, retrieval systems the whole protocol. Every entry, every time.
We Don't Leave Until It's Done Right
No shortcuts. No "good enough." When we're done, it's done.
Locally Owned and Operated
Family-owned out of Keithville, Louisiana. We're not a national company dispatching a crew that doesn't know your facility. We're regional, we're responsive, and we're here.
Where We've Done This Work
West Rock (Paper Mill)
Vacuum truck work across multiple operations within the same West Rock facility. We've worked for three separate companies in the same plant — within 500 yards of each other. That's what happens when the first job goes right.
CertainTeed (Drywall Plant and Roofing Plant)
Ongoing industrial cleaning and vacuum truck work at CertainTeed’s roofing manufacturing facility. Regular return work is the only performance review that matters.
Pilgrim's Pride (Chicken Plant)
Vacuum truck services in food processing environments demand precision. We've done it. Full PPE, full compliance, no shortcuts.
