Spade    GeoScience   
          
 

Spade Corporation was originally named Spade Pipeline, Inc. and was formed in 1969 out of an association between Thomas K. Sturgill and the A.A. Brown Inc., a company that was dominant in the Kentucky and Ohio oil industry in the 1950's and 1960's.

The company was incorporated in Kentucky in 1972, and the name was changed to Spade Corporation in 1987 to more accurately reflect the growth of the company's capabilities from principally piping to servicing most of the industrial needs of the petroleum, petro-chemical and process industries.

Spade's first job was installing a jet fuel line from an Ohio River terminal to the Greater Cincinnati Airport for Standard Oil of Kentucky, now Chevron, and we have since been dedicated to serving the contracting needs of the petroleum companies.

Spade Corporation is currently the hub of a family of companies serving the industry in combination or singularly, dependent upon the client's needs:  Spade, and GeoScience.

Whitehouse Electric, Inc. the industrial electrical affiliate, was formed in 1985 by the principals of Spade and Howard Whitehouse. Whitehouse Electric services the control, routine electrical, and automation needs of petroleum, commercial, and industrial clients on a regional basis.

GeoScience Consultants, the professional and geotechnical affiliate, was formed by Spade Corporation in 1990, and serves the environmental consulting and remediation needs of multiple industry classifications, but focuses principally on the petroleum and petro-chemical companies.

The family of companies in combination employ over seventy five professionals, craftsmen, and support staff, and have the ability to partner with other firms to bring total or limited packages to our petroleum clients at the refinery, terminal, bulk plant, and retail levels of operations.

The companies own, internally maintain, and operate a fleet of over one hundred vehicles, construction equipment, and specialized units to meet demand and control scheduling requirements.
