service Shutdowns

Our goal: meet your shutdown deadline with the highest safety and quality standards

A shut-down/turnaround project is the ultimate pit stop within our industry and needs to be highly orchestrated to pursuit excellence. Our specialist teams plan and carry-out over 15 shutdown/turnarounds a year, deploying teams of up-to 120 employees during project execution.

We have numerous credentials for shutdown activities at Total, BP, Lanxess, BASF, Shell, ExxonMobil etc

We work mostly in Antwerp and Rotterdam region for shutdowns.

Our approach

Our proprietary project approach is specifically tailored to shutdowns/turnarounds and based on our extensive experience and expertise. We are familiar with different contract types based on lump sum, unit rate or time and material. Our approach aims at deploying and optimally supporting our teams and subcontractors to deliver technical precision in a challenging time-frame and taking into account the highest safety and quality standards during execution. We have the ability to flexibly mobilize a large and specialised work-force within a very short-time frame to respect your deadlines.

approach

We start our engagement with a thorough preparation phase based on the scope requirements and in close collaboration with your team. During execution our detailed project plan comes to action with our teams flexibly operating 24/7 to keep the shutdown period as short as possible always in compliance with the highest safety and quality standards. We take care that your shutdown/turnaround runs efficiently and effective from start to finish. We carefully analyse and evaluate our shutdown performance in terms of safety, quality, lead time and cost in order to continuously improve our approach.

A perfect shut-down/turnaround takes months of preparation but only weeks of execution.
