Everything a plant needs between start-ups.

Six services, one team and one standard. Use them together on a shutdown, or one at a time.

Shutdowns and turnarounds

A turnaround is won in the planning. We take the scope, the dates and the site, then run labour, equipment and paperwork as one programme.

Scope

  • Scope definition and planning
  • Isolation, scaffolding and access
  • Equipment opening, inspection and repair
  • Pressure testing and box-up
  • Commissioning and hand-back

Plant maintenance

Planned and breakdown maintenance by crews who know the equipment, with the spares, tools and supervision to finish the job.

Scope

  • Rotating equipment: pumps, compressors, turbines
  • Static equipment: vessels, columns, exchangers
  • Valves, piping and instruments
  • Breakdown and call-out response
  • Planned and predictive maintenance

Industrial cleaning

Exchangers, vessels, tanks and lines cleaned to the standard the next job needs, with waste handled to site rules.

Scope

  • High-pressure water jetting
  • Hydro-blasting of exchanger bundles
  • Chemical cleaning and passivation
  • Tank and vessel cleaning
  • Waste handling to site rules

Insulation and refractory

Insulation and cladding that holds its shape in the heat and the wind, and refractory linings that last between shutdowns.

Scope

  • Thermal and cold insulation
  • Aluminium and stainless cladding
  • Acoustic and personnel protection
  • Refractory: castable, gunite and brick
  • Ceramic fibre and furnace repair
A steel fabrication workshop with rows of pipe spools and an overhead gantry crane.

Fabrication and construction

Fabricated in our workshop, checked before it leaves, and erected on site by the people who built it.

Scope

  • Pipe spools and skids
  • Structural steel and platforms
  • Tanks, hoppers and stacks
  • Site erection and welding
  • Cabins and portable buildings

Equipment and manpower

Plant, access and people supplied to site when the programme needs them, with the operators and supervision included.

Scope

  • Mobile cranes and man lifts
  • Welding sets, generators and compressors
  • Scaffolding and access systems
  • Skilled crews on call
  • Project engineers, planners and estimators
