Services

Three ways in

Hire us for one stage or all three. Every engagement is run by people who have stood on the loading platform.

01

Build

Process design, construction management, commissioning and start-up, by the people who will run the terminal afterward.

 02

Operate

Contract operations for your terminal: staffing, training, maintenance, safety and custody paperwork, every shift.

 03

Optimize

Field-built digital tools for crews, inspections, truck flow and the control room, brought to a terminal that is already running.

Operating today

Cadiz, Ohio. Crude and condensate, truck to rail.

Our own terminal in the Utica shale. Trucks unload at three metered loading positions into rail tank cars on our spur, with the paperwork, inspections and crew coverage run on the tools we offer to other terminals.

Optimize

The tools behind the shift

Four field-built tools that run every shift at Cadiz. We bring them to existing terminals as part of an Optimize engagement.

How the tools work together

Before Timiron

Two decades of terminal work

Our leadership team has built and set up several multi-commodity terminals across the country: crude, condensate, frac sand, ethanol and industrial chemicals, moved by truck, rail and barge. Those facilities belonged to other companies, and Timiron LLC did not own or operate them. The lessons came with us. We have worked with every Class I railroad in North America - BNSF, Union Pacific, CSX, Norfolk Southern, CN and CPKC - and with short lines including the Wheeling & Lake Erie, R.J. Corman and Ohio Central.

Our background
How we engage

Three steps to a proposal

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    What you move, where it comes from, where it goes, and how it flows today.

  2. 02

    Site walk

    We walk the terminal or the site with you and map the need to Build, Operate or Optimize.

  3. 03

    Proposal

    A specific scope and plan. No pitch deck, no inflated extras.
