Power plant outages and process plant shutdowns/turnarounds are critical events that require meticulous planning and flawless execution. Even the smallest glitch can lead to significant cost overruns, safety hazards, and delays that impact production and profitability. In these high-pressure situations, having the right team in place is paramount.
When projects flow perfectly and your manpower needs are met, schedules can be easily managed. But outage season is full of uncertainties.
