My two cents make no sense but.....
Having been on my fair share such jobs, I can tell you Ulrich is absolutely correct with his description of a "Shutdown". A plant shutdown is indeed normally scheduled maintenance, inspections, scheduled repairs, and unexpected repair work that is found during the inspections.
Additions (eweiterungen?) to refineries, petrol chemical sites, etc. can, and often are done while the remainder of the plant continues to produce; also plant erweiterung when well planned, tend to stay on schedule, but during a shutdown you are working on a very tight schedule which is almost always different as planned because of the "unplanned repairs" that seem always to occur.
The cranes are normally working in three shifts around the clock, and when one of the machines is not doing what it should be (crane down), all hell breaks loose, and the pressure is on to get it fixed, NOW! Why all the stress you may ask? At some refineries for example, everyday the plant is shut down you can kiss a million or more dollars away.
Slow is fast, be safe! |
