cta is a specialist in the area of plant shutdowns. This service is based on extensive experience gained through major shutdowns worldwide.

cta is convinced that the shutdown activity is one of the potential areas where major improvements can be made in both improving plant output and in reducing costs. cta services provide state of the art solutions to this often-neglected part of the maintenance discipline. These services cover every aspect of this discipline.

The potential benefits that can be achieved depend on the criticality of the production facility. In non-critical industries substantial savings can be made in simple cost reductions through planning and attention to detail. In continuous process plants the situation can change dramatically - there is enormous potential to reduce plant downtime.

Once a good shutdown system is installed and sustained then the benefits continue for as long as the system is used. Initial investment expenditure is quickly recovered and shutdown management is firmly established as a business unit.

Even more significant benefits are available to companies that operate several plants where computerised systems allow an information sharing facility and promote standardisation in methodology, contractor development and reporting systems.
