Facility Outage Work, Planned Down Time, Scheduled Facility Repairs
Planned Outages
Taking care of equipment is critical to the success of a facility. Production drives the business, so a facility that is making their product is typically running all the time. But eventually, equipment needs to be serviced so that it can perform at its best. Downtime for your equipment is not profitable, so it needs to be a short window to get everything done. Under ideal circumstances, this is a planned outage to tackle various needs at the same time. Industrial cleaning services almost always take place during an outage, and choosing an industrial cleaning contractor that can get the job done right and within a few days is crucial.
There are a couple of times of the year that are popular for planned outages such as after Christmas (Dec 26-30th) or in the summer around the Fourth of July. Some companies plan outages in the spring or the fall, and others have monthly shutdowns for a more regular approach to maintenance. Many build downtime into their maintenance plan. For planned outages, it is important to look ahead to the downtime and coordinate with your contractor to solidify scheduling (labor and equipment) and a clear understanding of what you want (budget, time frame, equipment and performance).
Industrial Cleaning for Planned Outages
Choosing the right industrial cleaning contractor is important. First Environmental strategically manages industrial maintenance into the client’s time frame to decrease downtime. Examples such as ovens and furnaces, process piping, above ground process and holding tanks, tunnels and conveyors (production lines) require routine industrial cleaning to prevent unforeseen “downtime”, prevent safety hazards, reduce cost, and maintain efficiency. Other examples include tanks, trenches, lines, pits/sumps, condensers/heat exchangers, containments, clarifiers, etc... It is common to have electrical, plumbing/piping, cleaning and facility vendors all working in the same space at the same time.
