Turnaround & Shutdown Support services involve planned maintenance, inspection, repair, overhaul, and modification of industrial plants during scheduled shutdown periods to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable plant operation.
Turnaround and Shutdown (TAR) Support refers to the critical maintenance and project execution activities carried out when an industrial facility is temporarily stopped or partially shut down for inspection, repair, and upgrade works. These services are essential for maintaining asset integrity, improving performance, and ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
Shutdown activities are carefully planned and executed within strict timelines to minimize production loss while maximizing maintenance effectiveness. Services include mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, civil, and safety works carried out in a highly coordinated manner.
Turnaround events are typically scheduled every few years in industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and heavy manufacturing.
