Shutdown engineering

Due to their complexity, duration, diversity of operations and multiplication of actors, planned shutdown projects present various human, financial and technical risks.

Alpha maintenance multi-disciplinary teams possess the necessary experience to deal with these strategic issues. They combine advanced expertise in project management with a perfect command of works co-ordination and supervision to organise and steer operations, while putting safety requirements at the heart of their recommendations and operations.

Thanks to more than 30 years’ experience, gained mainly in oil, gas and petrochemicals, we are now able to assist and advise our clients in addressing key performance factors in order to reduce deadlines while controlling costs.

Throughout the duration of these projects, which last typically between 12 and 18 months, we support our clients with all the various phases: preparation, scheduling, steering and progress monitoring. We build up a trusting and co-operative relationship with them which enables us to promote foresight and enhance risk management.

These operations are generally performed as a part of a fixed price project, but our experts can also undertake technical assistance assignments.
