Turnaround Schedule

I work for a pipeline rehabilitation firm in Houston, TX. I actually am on the sales side of the business now but was in project controls for many years...
I am trying to create a cost-benefit analysis where I take a "typical" boilerplate refinery turnaround schedule (polyethylene or ethylene plant or something like that...) and then demonstrate how in reducing the pipe rehabilitation component of the turnaround my firm’s technology can significantly provide an economic benefit to the client
What I would do is take a P3 or Microsoft schedule, export to Excel, run a C-B analysis (cost-benefit), and then be able to demonstrate the true value of the solution (reduced impact of deferred revenue from shutdown)....
So, can anyone help me with obtaining a P3 or Microsoft-based turnaround schedule?
If you can, please email me at jnixon@verline.com
Cheers,
John

Oldest first- 0Bernard Ertl ·Hi John,
"Typical turnaround schedules" is almost an oxymoron - especially with respect to piping repair/maintenance. That fluctuates wildly from unit to unit (and turnaround to turnaround within the same unit).
What type of pipe (CS / SS / Chrome) are you looking for? The cost benefits will be greater with the exotic metals versus carbon steel. Pipe replacement that requires stress relieving is much more expensive (in both time and cost) and has greater risk of impacting the schedule if a weld fails.

InterPlan Systems - ATC Professional Shutdown / Turnaround Management System - 0Forum Guest ·Thanks for reply. It is Carbon Steel (CS) pipe. 20" I.D. and it is for waste water with weak pH (due to all the effluent from various sources) My firm uses a proprietary ability to insert a prepreg composite material under 2-5 psi pneumatic pressure, and then we cure in place with a patented energy delivery source. So, we can cure in about 60 minutes what takes convential resin-catalyst technologies about 3 days..... The longer the pipe to be repaired, the greater our savings to the customer in terms of time.... so, while I knew there is no such thing as a "typical" turnaround, at least some sort of baseline example would help me in building a model which I could alter project by project....

Emerald’s Turnaround
Emerald’s Turnaround Progressing System (TAPS) uses barcode scanning technology to make updating Oracle Primavera P6 schedules a breeze.
Turnarounds, shutdowns and outages (TSOs) are high-profile, complex and time sensitive projects. With millions of dollars on the line each day in lost revenue and labor costs, it is critical that the TSOs be completed on schedule.
Emerald’s Turnaround Progressing System (TAPS) uses barcode scanning technology to eliminate the need for lengthy manual data entry when updating your Oracle Primavera P6 schedules. Simply use a barcode scanner to find, start and update any activity within the schedule in two fast scans.
TAPS increases your accuracy and cuts your shift statusing time by 75%. Shift reports are delivered on time, allowing management to make informed decisions based on timely insight into the current health of the TSO. Less experienced, less expensive resources can take on the job of updating tasks, while experienced schedulers are freed to analyze and act on the latest data. As a result, issues are avoided or mitigated before ballooning in to larger more expensive problems and the TSO remains on schedule.Join our free webinar and see how easy TAPS is!
