TAR Support
SHORES MDS have experience working Turn Arounds and Shut Downs in facilities around the world.
No matter how well a project is planned on paper if the owner or contractor chooses to ignore the need for 3rd party verification then there WILL be errors and start-up delays.
SHORES MDS can support pre-TAR, during TAR and post TAR.
Prefabrication reducers the requirement for onsite personnel. Doing this benefits the project in multiple ways
Lower costs by less onsite personnel
Increase safety caused by fewer field activities
Less indirect costs. Examples include less badging processing, less supervision, less chance of personnel no shows and fewer jobs to write permits.
Example 2015 – TAR Beaumont TX
800+ fabricated spools surveyed for TAR.
Post TAR review comment.
“The discovery of two spools that were found to be wrong paid for the entire survey cost”
These were two 14” 317SS spools each with two lateral offsets. The spools were on the critical path list and had they been delivered and attempted to be installed would have cost project delays and premium cost rebuild.
