Client Challenge
Turnarounds present a significant challenge to operators. Ineffective planning, poor execution, and inconsistent post-turnaround reporting and maintenance programming, all too often lead to turnaround overruns, unplanned downtime, and unnecessary costs. Our client was keen to avoid these common turnaround challenges. They recognised that they did not have the engineering specialists in-house to perform the more complex assessments nor the resource capacity during the turnaround to deliver the volume repair plans required. They approached Vysus Group because of our reputation for delivering consistent, rigorous engineering advice.

We quickly brought together a team of experienced engineers from around the world who worked remotely to support this project continuously over a 24-hour period. Their engineering expertise allowed key operational decisions to be made with a fast reaction time. Our multidisciplinary team provided dedicated support to the facility, to swiftly deliver high-quality, detailed repair plans. Not only was the team available around the clock but our response time from request to delivery averaged under 24 hours. Key activity included:
