The most costly, intricate, and challenging maintenance projects in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries are plant turnarounds, or planned shutdowns for scheduled repair and modification of plant and process units. These projects normally account for around 25% of the maintenance spend.It is a planned time off from production during which all daily operations are suspended and attention is diverted to plant changes, maintenance-related tasks, cleaning, inspection, and repair. Employees of the plant and outside contractors put in endless hours during this period to ensure everything is ready for the plant or process unit to start up again with normal production and operations.
