Shutdown and maintenance project support.

When to call

• A shutdown is being scoped and the engineering content is not there yet.
• Work packs, repair procedures or ITPs need to be ready before the window opens.
• There is no internal engineer to make calls when defects turn up mid-shutdown.
• A contractor needs technical scopes and an estimating basis to price the work.

What Veristruct provides

1. Scopes of work that define the task, the inclusions and the exclusions, so the work can be priced, planned and checked.
2. Work packs with task steps, materials, drawings and the engineering content each job needs.
3. Repair and weld procedures for known defects, prepared before the window rather than during it.
4. Inspection and Test Plans with hold and witness points, so quality is checked at the right time and signed off by the right person.
5. An estimating basis for effort and duration that planners and contractors can work from.
6. Engineering support during the shutdown, remote or on site by arrangement, for the defects found once the plant is opened up.
7. Close-out records: what was found, what was done and what needs watching next time.

Decisions under pressure, written down

The hardest calls in a shutdown come when a defect turns up that nobody planned for: repair now, defer and monitor, or replace. Veristruct gives a written engineering recommendation on photographs and measurements, with the reasoning recorded, for the site to decide on. Where the site will rely on the outcome for structural adequacy, including a decision to defer, independent review by a registered engineer is scoped straight away.
