About Us

With over 140 years of experience collectively between the leadership of Keel plus the very capable younger members of the firm, our clients can rest assured that their projects are in good hands. This level of experience can often help us identify problems before they occur, but if they do, Keel is also well suited to correcting them. Importantly, our firm’s experience and use of LEAN, ensures that projects will be set up correctly from the outset, promising a reliable process from start to finish. The number and diversity of industry sectors Keel has worked in is another benefit that inures to our clients. The conditions and protocols can differ from sector to sector in these different project types; there are very few that Keel has not worked under. Working with Keel means less risk on a project that, in turn, means they are delivered on schedule and on budget.
