A plant shutdown is an important temporary closure of operations to perform necessary preventative and routine maintenance. This can ensure that machinery is operating efficiently and safely to set up for long-term success.
Premier Cranes & Rigging offers clients across industries an effective shutdown concept, prioritising safe and efficient turnaround for industrial shutdown projects using our results driven approach.
Completing the required works during plant shutdowns can be complicated. As many plants are not designed with shutdowns in mind, each stage requires thorough planning and precise execution. The maintenance works duration can directly impact overall plant profitability so it is crucial they are completed in a timely manner.
Our Industrial Shutdown Process
We offer a thorough consultation service to our clients to comprehensively and collaboratively plan each step of the industrial shutdown process. This is to ensure that shutdowns are completed both accurately, correctly and on time.
Planning
Premier works with you to develop a detailed plan of the shutdown in advance to ensure that there is a clear outline of the scope of works that need to be completed. As a result, this will ensure accuracy in estimating completion times and allocating the right resources to each operation. Throughout the plant shutdown works, our team remains involved in your project to achieve transparently assured results.
Scheduling
Alongside planning what needs to be done during the shutdown, it’s vital to consider when and how long each task is carried out. We can help you carefully schedule the shutdown to ensure that the budgeted time frames are optimised for the most efficiency so you’re back to normal operations in no time with minimal disruption!
Execution
Our onsite field crews can assist you in managing the execution of disassembling of the machinery and maintenance requirements across the shutdown project, including lifting that may be required for inspecting and repairing any machinery parts.
