Industrial plant shutdowns and shutdown-period maintenance
Kymecon is your experienced and reliable partner for industrial shutdown works. From a single provider: mechanical maintenance, demanding demolition and structural alteration works, and industrial protective coatings — without middlemen or delays.
Planned and safe – every hour counts
An industrial plant’s maintenance shutdown is a critical window during which energy efficiency is improved, unexpected and costly equipment failures are prevented, and uninterrupted production is safeguarded going forward.
During a shutdown, every hour counts. That’s why we approach every project with rigorous advance planning, tight schedule management and high safety standards. Once production has stopped, we roll up our sleeves and get your equipment and facility into top condition.
A shutdown running over schedule is costly. We commit to the agreed timetable and bring the right number of appropriately skilled personnel and specialist equipment to site.
Our services during a shutdown
We offer a wide range of services across industrial sectors — process, chemical, forest and metal industries.
Demanding industrial demolition works
We demolish old machinery and equipment groups, heavy steel structures and massive concrete structures in confined environments.
Equipment foundations and alteration works
We build new equipment foundations and carry out demanding alteration works to existing foundations, including wire sawing and concrete works to clear the way for heavy machinery.
Rigging and structural openings
We handle the rigging of heavy industrial machinery and components. Where necessary, we cut large rigging openings into roof or wall structures and close them again, within the shutdown window, in a weatherproof and safe manner.
Industrial coatings
We apply chemical- and mechanically-resistant coatings to floors, basins, channels and equipment foundations — such as epoxy and polyurethane coatings.
Structural injection and repairs
We seal and strengthen concrete structures through crack injection prior to coating, so that the safety and load-bearing capacity of the plant environment are preserved.
Mechanical maintenance and servicing
Skilled dismantling and mechanical servicing of equipment, pumps, valves and conveyors — as part of the overall shutdown contract.
Getting critical areas in order – only possible during a shutdown
Many of a plant’s most demanding demolition, maintenance and coating locations are only accessible during a complete production shutdown. Kymecon handles these critical work phases reliably, even on the tightest schedule. Examples of our critical shutdown works:
Successful shutdown work starts with proper planning
The best results are achieved when Kymecon is brought in already at the planning stage of the production shutdown. Demanding demolition works and structural openings in particular require careful risk assessment and logistics planning.
1
Advance planning
We survey the sites, assess the risks, and plan the work phases and logistics together with your maintenance organisation — well in advance of the shutdown.
2
Resourcing and preparation
We ensure that the necessary permits, materials, specialist equipment and a correctly sized team are ready exactly when production stops.
3
Execution within the time window
Work proceeds according to a precise phasing plan, with exact schedule management and high safety standards.
4
Handover and reporting
The site is handed over on the agreed schedule, ready for production. We document the completed works as a basis for planning the next shutdown.
Bring us in already at the planning stage. This ensures that the necessary permits, materials, equipment and resources are ready exactly when production stops.
“In an industrial production shutdown, every hour costs money. That’s why the best partner is the one who has done their planning work and process simulation in good time before production stops.”
