Our Core Shutdown & Turnaround Scope

  • Integrated SD/TA Planning: Comprehensive pre-shutdown planning, scope definition, scheduling (critical path analysis), resource loading, and risk assessment.
  • Mechanical & Piping Turnarounds: Turnkey execution of tower and vessel maintenance, heat exchanger retubing/cleaning, piping replacement, and valve overhaul programs.
  • Rotating Equipment Overhauls: Specialized maintenance, alignment, and repair of critical rotating machinery including compressors, turbines, pumps, and gearboxes.
  • Static Equipment & Boiler Services: Internal inspection, repair, modification, and re-certification of pressure vessels, reactors, boilers, and fired heaters (including API/ASME code compliance).
  • Structural & Civil Works: Urgent structural repairs, platform modifications, foundation repairs, and concrete restoration within tight turnaround windows.
  • Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) Support: Switchgear maintenance, motor overhauls, instrumentation calibration, loop checks, and control system upgrades executed in parallel with mechanical works.
  • Inspection & NDT Services: Coordinated non-destructive testing (RT, UT, MT, PT), corrosion mapping, and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) to support QA/QC certification.
  • Pre-Commissioning & Startup Support: Final system reinstatement, pressure testing, flushing, and operational readiness support to ensure a smooth plant restart.
