Shutdown and turnaround planning for WA resources

A shutdown is won or lost before the plant stops. We build the scope, work packs and resource-loaded schedule that give your team a credible critical path and a safe, on-time restart, whether you need a planner for one outage or support across a campaign.

Who it is for: operators, EPC contractors and maintenance contractors running outages on fixed plant, LNG trains, processing facilities, ports and mobile fleet.

What we deliver

  • Scope definition and work list control
  • Work packs ready ahead of the freeze date
  • Resource-loaded Primavera P6 or MS Project schedules
  • Critical and near-critical path analysis, with options to recover time
  • Daily and weekly progress reporting during execution
  • Post-shutdown review and lessons learned
  • On-site or remote planners, on lump sum, T&M or retainer

How we work

  1. Scope

    Agree and control the work list with operations and maintenance.

  2. Plan

    Build work packs and sequence activities against permits, resources and constraints.

  3. Schedule

    Develop and review the resource-loaded schedule with your team.

  4. Execute

    Update progress, track the critical path and re-plan as emergent work appears.

  5. Review

    Report performance against plan and capture lessons for the next outage.
