Are You Prepared For An Upcoming Outage?

Every steam and boiler system will have an outage, planned or unplanned. Planned outages deserve some forethought.

Here are some things to consider before you shut things down.

• Timeline: Plan your outage 6-8 months in advance
• Labor plan: Do you have the personnel in place to account for your outage?
• Inspection plans: Who will be inspecting the system before the outage—your internal team or an external team?
• Spare parts: Did you order in advance and do you have them on hand so you’re not scrambling in the moment?
• Repair plan: What’s your plan for repairs, and do you have the parts to cover it?
• Startup plan: When you’re ready to turn everything back on, do you know the sequences to avoid any delays that could lead to an unplanned outage?

What to do when emergency boiler and material handling repairs are needed:

The bottom line: if you prepare for an outage the right way, it can become routine instead of restrictive on your business and operations.
