Outages and Turnarounds
Sometimes a facilities service needs go beyond basic maintenance. That is why routine turnarounds are needed so that everything can be shut down at once and service and maintenance tasks that aren’t possible during operations can be handled. STI Group is highly experienced in industrial turnarounds. We understand that they are a critical, costly, and time-sensitive period for companies. We offer a full range of turnaround services including:
- Careful scheduling and planning
- Dedicated project management
- Clear communication
- An unwavering focus on safety
- Strong budgeting and cost monitoring services
- Highly skilled workers and craftsmen
Occasionally, despite a pulp, paper, and lumber facility’s best efforts, unplanned outages still occur. These outages can be devastating to a business as everything grinds to a halt and contracts and production deadlines can easily be missed. STI Group is experienced in handling outages and our professional, thorough emergency teams will have the pulp, paper, and lumber facility back up and running as quickly and safely as possible, minimizing disruption and expense for the company.
