- Shutdown and Turnaround Coordination
Shutdowns are very complex and expensive projects. Anything can happen, leading to unexpected situations that interfere with schedules and postpone production start-up. An extra day can result in losses of millions of dollars. Being well prepared ensures that the planned downtime will not be exceeded. It significantly improves occupational safety, too.
Scheduled turnarounds are difficult to manage. Managing an surprise shutdown or outage is like firefighting. Uncertainty and complexity abound when a plant is down. Extra work can appear when equipment is opened and inspected.
