We look forward to working with IPS on this engagement, applying our best of class solutions to their business model and providing them with the vision and strategies for a successful path forward.”

IPS’ business focuses on onshore and sub-sea pipeline construction and repair, but the company also works with high density polyethylene (HDPE) liner systems for pipelines, outfall systems, dredging and dock construction. Their core business is Single Point Mooring Buoys (SPMB) based on Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring (CALM) technology.

Key to Revel’s ability to work across industries is the firm’s unique “Pure Consulting” model, which reduces layers of bureaucracy typical of large firms to provide clients with on-site senior industry experts to drive projects and achieve results. The firm currently has experience and expertise working in IT, software, insurance, retail, telecom/wireless and engineering, but continues to expand its reach to additional industries.  To this point, Revel’s success largely has been due to their ability to attract high caliber consultants by offering project variety, intellectual challenge, localized projects, work-life balance, and industry-leading compensation packages.
