Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of an industrial shutdown?
An industrial shutdown is a scheduled pause in operations to allow for essential maintenance, inspections, upgrades or equipment replacements. These events are carefully planned to minimise disruption and often occur in sectors like mining, energy or manufacturing. Shutdowns ensure equipment remains compliant, efficient and safe, reducing the risk of breakdowns or safety incidents during production. They often involve multiple contractors working within strict timeframes, requiring detailed logistics and lifting coordination. Safety planning is critical, as shutdowns can involve high-risk tasks and complex procedures under time pressure.
Can shutdown work be completed at night?
Yes, shutdown work is sometimes carried out overnight or around the clock to meet deadlines and reduce disruption. Night works are common in time-sensitive industries or sites that cannot extend shutdown durations. However, working at night introduces additional safety considerations including lighting, fatigue management and noise limits. It’s important to ensure that all safety procedures remain in place, and that crews are properly rested and supported. Permits or neighbour notifications may also be needed, depending on the site’s location and industry.
What lifting equipment is commonly used during shutdowns?
Lifting during shutdowns may involve mobile cranes, lifting beams, rigging gear, forklifts or jacks—depending on the item being moved and the available space. Compact or low-clearance equipment may be needed in enclosed plant areas. The selection of gear is based on load weight, access restrictions and risk assessments. Often, multiple lifts are planned across several shifts, requiring equipment to be moved and reset as shutdown stages progress. It’s critical that all gear is certified, inspected and suitable for the shutdown’s demands.
Support You Can Count On
Shutdowns don’t leave much room for error, especially when conditions are tough and timelines tight. That’s why we turn up when we say we will, with fully prepped gear and a crew that’s already across what needs doing. We’ve worked on high-risk industrial sites and know how to follow procedures, avoid delays and stay safe without slowing things down. Whether it’s a large-scale shutdown or a smaller planned outage, we help make the whole process easier.
Here’s what you can count on when we support your shutdown:
- On-time arrival and setup.
- Gear that’s ready to work.
- A team that knows the drill.
