Shutdown & Turnaround Scheduling
Hour-by-hour shutdown and turnaround schedules that compress outage windows and return critical assets to service safely, on the date operations committed to.
When every hour offline costs production, every hour is planned.
A shutdown is a race against a clock measured in lost production. Thousands of tasks, hundreds of workers and dozens of contractors converge on one asset for days or weeks, and a single missed sequence can extend the outage and multiply its cost.
We plan at the resolution these events demand: hour by hour and shift by shift, with scope challenge, isolation sequences, permits, scaffolding, cranes and inspection holds woven into one integrated plan. During execution we update around the clock, so supervisors always know what is next, what is at risk and what the restart date really is.
What we bring to Shutdown & Turnaround Scheduling
Senior practitioners, proven method and the right technology, specified line by line.
Scope challenge & freeze
Every work order tested for necessity and readiness, then frozen to protect the window.
INCLUDEDHourly scheduling
Shift-level schedules with crews, equipment and permits assigned.
INCLUDEDIsolation sequencing
Lock-out, tag-out, isolation and de-isolation logic built into the plan.
INCLUDEDWindow compression
Parallel paths, prefabrication and added crews used to shorten the outage.
INCLUDEDExecution command
Shift-by-shift updates, emergent-work control and recovery planning during the event.
INCLUDEDPost-event critique
Performance analysis that makes the next outage shorter.
INCLUDEDA clear path, milestone by milestone.
Every engagement follows a disciplined sequence, so you always know what happens next and why.

Technology we work in
Platform-fluent and vendor-independent. We work inside your environment, or recommend the one that fits.
What changes when we arrive.
Not activity. Results your board, your lenders and your teams can feel.
Assets back in production sooner.
Isolation and permit logic designed into the plan, not added later.
Return-to-service dates leadership can rely on.
What leaders ask us first.
Straight answers. If yours isn't logged here, raise it with us directly. A principal will respond.
How far ahead should planning start?
Months ahead for major shutdowns, and a year or more for large turnarounds. Scope development, long-lead materials and contractor mobilization all need time.
How do you handle emergent work?
Through a controlled process that assesses each item's effect on the critical path before it is accepted into the plan.
Which sectors do you support?
Oil and gas, chemicals, power generation, life sciences, manufacturing and mission-critical facilities.
Commissioning & Startup Scheduling
System-based commissioning and startup schedules that carry facilities from mechanical completion to reliable operation without the familiar last-mile slip.
CPM Scheduling
Critical Path Method schedules engineered so that every date has a reason, every float value means something and every forecast can be trusted in a boardroom.
Baseline Schedule Development
Approved baselines that capture scope, sequence and risk with precision: the fixed reference against which every future decision, dollar and day is judged.
