Shutdowns & Turnarounds

Downtime is costly, deadlines are tight, and safety is non-negotiable.

Shutdowns & Turnarounds

When a facility enters a turnaround, every decision matters. Downtime is costly, deadlines are tight, and safety is non-negotiable. At Vision Integrity, we provide the engineering and inspection expertise to keep turnarounds running smoothly—on schedule, on budget, and with full confidence in every decision made along the way.

Engineering for Turnaround Success

Time is of the essence during execution. Our on-site engineers bring extensive turnaround experience and the ability to make clear, accurate decisions under pressure. By embedding directly with your team, we help resolve emerging issues quickly, minimizing delays and keeping schedules intact. Efficiency and safety guide every recommendation we make.

But our role doesn’t start when the facility shuts down. Vision Integrity also supports pre-planning for upcoming turnarounds. We assist with scope of work development, equipment purchase specifications, and regulatory coordination to align approval timelines with outage schedules. Our engineers also provide contingency planning, giving clients a structured response framework to manage unexpected conditions during execution. This proactive approach helps ensure resources, equipment, and personnel are in place before the first valve is turned.

A Partner Across the Lifecycle

We’ve guided shutdowns and turnarounds across heavy oil, refining, gas processing, utilities, and industrial facilities.

Inspection Capabilities

Alongside engineering, our inspection team delivers the comprehensive coverage required to bring assets safely back online. Our inspectors are certified through CGSB, CWB, API (510, 570, 653), the National Board, and NACE, enabling us to perform a full suite of inspections across pressure equipment, piping, tanks, and coatings.

We deploy advanced tools, including semi-automated corrosion scanners for precise thickness mapping, along with radiographic testing, phased array ultrasonic testing, ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing, liquid penetrant testing, vacuum box testing, and visual inspections. These methods allow us to detect, confirm, and document conditions quickly so decisions can be made without guesswork.

A Partner Across the Lifecycle

A successful turnaround isn’t defined only by what happens during execution—it’s the result of careful planning, decisive engineering support, and reliable inspection at every stage. Vision Integrity integrates these disciplines under one roof, reducing delays, streamlining communication, and providing clients with a single, trusted partner from planning through completion.

Why Vision Integrity

We’ve guided shutdowns and turnarounds across heavy oil, refining, gas processing, utilities, and industrial facilities. Our multidisciplinary expertise ensures that both short-term execution and long-term asset reliability are addressed. By combining planning, engineering, and inspection, we give you the confidence that your turnaround will be executed efficiently, safely, and in full compliance.
