TURNAROUNDS

Skidmore Inspection Services (SIS) offers extensive expertise in turnaround execution, unit operations, and the assessment of damage mechanisms. This wealth of experience plays a vital role in significantly enhancing the development of our Inspection Test Plans (ITPs), ensuring they are both precise and effective for each asset. Our expertise also elevates the selection process for turnaround work lists, allowing for a more strategic approach that prioritizes the most critical areas based on asset-specific conditions and potential risks.

​

While ensuring compliance with industry regulations and standards remains a top priority, SIS takes a proactive approach by placing a strong emphasis on assessing the overall risk associated with each asset. This includes a detailed review of operational history, equipment age, and relevant damage mechanisms such as corrosion, cracking, and fatigue, which could impact the integrity and safety of the equipment. This comprehensive assessment enables us to tailor our inspection strategies, identifying potential issues before they compromise asset performance.

​

Our Risk-Based Worklist Selection Process adds significant value by optimizing critical path planning for turnarounds. By focusing resources on the most high-risk components, we ensure that the most pressing issues are addressed first, which ultimately leads to a smoother, more efficient turnaround process. Additionally, our integration of non-destructive testing (NDE) techniques, such as ultrasonic testing and radiography, allows for a thorough inspection. These methods help us detect hidden damage that might be overlooked using conventional inspection techniques.

​

Furthermore, our approach includes the ability to implement scope reduction when necessary. By establishing clear priorities based on asset criticality and risk level, we ensure that turnaround efforts are focused on areas with the highest potential impact, leading to better resource allocation and cost control. Ultimately, this structured methodology not only enhances the safety and compliance of your assets but also contributes to a more streamlined, cost-effective turnaround process.
