Plant shutdowns and turnarounds will always have only one objective; executing timely shutdowns with controlled costs while maintaining the highest safety and quality standards. It is a massive undertaking that requires intricate planning and one can never be too prepared. One minor hitch will easily escalate costs and delay shutdown time; bringing huge financial losses. It is imperative that all personnel and departments involved understand their roles and responsibilities well.
