Shutdown projects, also known as turnarounds or planned outages are a demanding type of project. Stakes are high, as is pressure on the schedule and project team to ensure scopes are planned and executed in a timely, safe manner & within budget to ensure the facility is back online without costly delays.
A Shutdown & Turnaround process is a planning process in which an industrial facility goes through a scheduled shutdown to perform maintenance tasks that couldn’t be performed otherwise.
It is an end-to-end controlled process, aimed at compressing the agreed work scope safely into the minimum amount of time, utilizing different areas or units of the workforce. Often a planned shutdown requires several outsourced contractors.
