The key, said John Forchuk, Sky Eye’s vice-president of business development, is to recognize the various challenges associated with moving LPG and butane from railcar to truck, including distance, weather and infrastructure, and then providing a versatile array of solutions to meet those challenges. SKY Eye Measurement, founded in 2005 in Acheson, Alberta, Canada, is growing into a leader in liquified petroleum gas (LPG) and butane transloading, building a successful business on the fundamentals of safety, performance and reliability. ![]()
