Shutdowns and turnarounds

A turnaround is won in the planning. We take the scope, the dates and the site, then run labour, equipment and paperwork as one programme.

Scope

  • Scope definition and planning
  • Isolation, scaffolding and access
  • Equipment opening, inspection and repair
  • Pressure testing and box-up
  • Commissioning and hand-back

Plant maintenance

Planned and breakdown maintenance by crews who know the equipment, with the spares, tools and supervision to finish the job.

Scope

  • Rotating equipment: pumps, compressors, turbines
  • Static equipment: vessels, columns, exchangers
  • Valves, piping and instruments
  • Breakdown and call-out response
  • Planned and predictive maintenance
