Plant turnarounds in the power generation, oil and gas, chemicals and petrochemicals, pulp and paper, mining and minerals, utilities, and manufacturing sectors are critical yet complex undertakings essential for maintaining, inspecting, and upgrading industrial facilities. Despite their importance, these events often face significant challenges: more than half of all turnarounds experience significant delays, causing revenue reductions; 82% do not meet performance requirements; 80% are over budget by more than 10%; and nearly 50% of work-related accidents occur during maintenance outages.
