In the energy industry and on large capital projects, planned shutdowns are a necessary part of day-to-day operations. These turnarounds are normally necessary within the scope of preventative maintenance programs, renovations, or refits of facilities. Shutdown activities may also be required when accidents, natural disasters, terror threats, or political upheavals occur.
When shutdowns take place, normal labor and equipment operations are suspended for up to weeks at a time. Maintenance activities may also need to be planned and undertaken during the shutdown period. A shutdown coordinator ensures this whole process runs efficiently, safely and smoothly.
