FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about shutdown maintenance services

How far in advance should shutdown maintenance be scheduled?

For optimal planning and resource allocation, shutdown maintenance should be scheduled 2-6 months in advance for standard outages. This allows time for scope development, material procurement, and crew scheduling. However, we maintain flexible crews that can mobilize quickly for shorter-notice projects when needed.

What size crews can you provide for shutdowns?

We can scale our crews based on your project requirements, from small teams of 5-10 for targeted work to larger crews of 20+ for comprehensive shutdowns. Our network of skilled millwrights and welders allows us to staff projects appropriately while maintaining quality and safety standards.

Do you provide supervision during shutdowns?

Yes, all shutdown projects include experienced supervision. Our supervisors manage day-to-day activities, coordinate with plant personnel, ensure safety compliance, and maintain quality standards. They serve as your single point of contact throughout the outage.

What safety certifications do your crews have?

Our crews maintain current safety certifications including OSHA 10/30, confined space entry, fall protection, and client-specific requirements. We are ISNetworld, TappiSafe, and Avetta members, ensuring compliance with industry safety standards and client prequalification requirements.

Can you handle emergency or unplanned shutdowns?

Yes, we maintain crews ready for rapid deployment to handle emergency shutdowns. While planned outages allow for optimal resource allocation, we understand that unplanned failures happen. Contact us immediately when emergencies arise, and we will mobilize crews as quickly as possible.

What geographic areas do you serve?

We provide shutdown maintenance services across all 48 contiguous United States. While we have strong presence in the Southeast (Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Carolinas), our crews regularly travel nationwide for shutdown work. Mileage and per diem are factored into project pricing.
