what we do

Our Services

Production demands and budgetary constraints seem to be the major considerations when planning a Major Maintenance Outage.  Management needs to identify the essential work to be completed and determine how to execute that work in the shortest, most efficient manner possible.  We work with your in-house team as well as contract specialists to create a thorough, well-detailed plan.  Utilizing the Critical Path Method (CPM) we sequence the work and detail all coordination to produce an outage which ensures all critical work is completed in the shortest and most economical timeframe.  Identification of the essential work scope coupled with safe, efficient execution help guarantee your plant will be online as soon as possible and you will be able to rest easy knowing that right work was performed thus ensuring you and your team a reliable campaign.

Project Management

We utilize CPM, which focuses on arranging the work so that it is completed in its logical sequence of execution.  This sequence is then used to establish the project timeline, identify conflicts, and determine the staffing and resources needed to complete the work in the shortest possible duration.

Outage Planning

Effective outage planning necessitates advance action.  Using our essential strategies for early preparation we will work with your team to develop the most effective and efficient execution plan possible allowing you to stay on-schedule, within budget, and eliminate many issues and complications before they arise.

Outage Execution

We execute outages with meticulous management of the network diagram through customized daily worklists, seamless integration of new tasks and data, prioritization of tasks, and continuous monitoring of critical and sub-critical work.

Training for Outage Planning & Management Teams

We execute outages with meticulous management of the network diagram through customized daily worklists, seamless integration of new tasks and data, prioritization of tasks, and continuous monitoring of critical and sub-critical work.

Reliability Centered Maintenance

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) gives your team the tools to make better, more informed, and proactive decisions for your assets.  Understanding the original design parameters, operating context, and current demands help you develop the proper strategy for each machine/system.  This in-depth approach will help you move from a reactive maintenance environment to a predictive maintenance system.

Root Cause Analysis

Determining the true cause of failure is essential to developing the proper solution.  Utilizing root cause analysis tools from the Apollo Method to a basic 5-Why, we can help improve your reliability by implementing the proper corrective actions.
