Benefits of Our Turnaround Services
Turnaround services are scheduled maintenance activities conducted during planned and unplanned shutdowns to ensure that equipment and machinery operate at peak efficiency and safety. These services allow for thorough inspections, repairs, and upgrades while preventing unplanned outages and enhancing operational integrity. By prioritizing safety and efficiency, turnaround services maintain the high-performance standards of industrial operations.
Explaining Turnaround Services in Detail
These critical maintenance operations are designed for industrial facilities, and they are especially important in high-risk industries such as petrochemicals, refineries, and pulp and paper. In these settings, the stakes are high, as any disruption can lead to significant financial losses and pose extreme safety risks.
We understand that during turnarounds, every hour matters. Our experience in supporting turnaround work ensures that your operations remain on schedule while prioritizing safety and on-time, issue-free delivery and setup of equipment.
Strategic Partnerships for Handling a Turnaround Event
Managing planned and unplanned outages is a task that requires a deep understanding of the operational needs and the potential risks involved. It requires a strategic partnership with clients to ensure that all aspects of the turnaround are well-executed and incident-free.
Turnaround services aren't just about maintenance and repairs - they also involve the transfer, movement, collection, containment, treatment, and hauling of process or waste liquids and solids. Each material is carefully managed to ensure compliance with environmental standards and to safeguard against spills and leaks that could compromise the safety of the facility and the environment.
At Ironclad Environmental, we support your turnaround services with our specialized equipment and expert team ensure that all materials are handled with care, keeping your facility compliant and your operations running smoothly.
The Phases of a Turnaround Procedure
Turnaround procedures are structured into three phases, each critical to the success of industrial maintenance projects.
- Planning
- Execution
- Post-Turnaround
Safety remains our top priority throughout each of these phases, from initial planning to final assessment.
Planning
The planning phase is the foundation of any turnaround procedure. It's critical for minimizing operational downtime and ensuring safety throughout the project. It's during this stage that involving a specialized project management team in pre-startup meetings can be most beneficial.
Ironclad Environmental is more than just a service provider – we’re a true partner who knows how to support your turnaround and achieve your business goals. Our personnel use their extensive experience and knowledge to ensure the timely availability and delivery of necessary equipment and assets.
Our proactive approach in turnaround support planning not only sets the groundwork for a successful turnaround event but also helps eliminate potential delays and safety incidents.
Execution
During the execution phase, the focus shifts to the onsite activities of the turnaround. Our unique ability to pre-stage the necessary equipment at or near the client's site plays an integral role in keeping your turnaround on schedule. With so much going on during a turnaround, everything from equipment to manpower needs to be perfectly timed. If one part falls out of sync, it can lead to a series of delays and increased costs. We're here to make sure everything goes according to plan.
By having the right assets readily available, we can expedite the delivery and setup, ensuring that all equipment integrates smoothly into the ongoing operations without delays.
This process is key to maintaining the momentum of operations, ensuring that every task is performed efficiently and within the scheduled time frame.
Post-Turnaround
The post-turnaround stage involves a detailed review and analysis of the project. We provide a comprehensive summary of the services, costs, and safety performance throughout the operation. We also seek performance feedback from our clients to continuously refine and improve our turnaround support services.
This feedback is essential for understanding client satisfaction and areas where our processes can be improved, ensuring that future turnaround projects are even more successful and client-focused.
Benefits of Turnaround Services
Turnaround services offer various benefits that directly improve project success and operational efficiency, They are designed to optimize the functionality and safety of industrial operations through well-managed, timely shutdowns.

A key benefit of turnaround services is their ability to significantly increase operational efficiency. By ensuring that equipment and necessary assets are delivered and set up promptly, we help minimize downtime.
