Turnaround Optimization - Adgas DAS Island (for Descon)

Early 2008, PDM was asked to take ownership of the turnaround core management team for a major LNG compression plant in the Middle East. The plant, consisting of several production trains in operation over 30 years, was built to produce Liquified Natural Gas for transport to customers around the world.
The turnaround (TA) cycle is based on intervals of 3 years, covering 1 of the trains each year. Typical TA execution duration is over 30 days, with some 2,500 contractor employees on-site during execution.
PDM heads up the TA core management team and steers both TA preparation and execution together with a major local engineering contractor. The dedicated team was able to finalize the TA on time for the current turnaround. It was recently completed and handed over to operations. Commissioning for production occurred 2 days ahead of schedule. This resulted in an opportunity increase in revenue and profit of several million dollars.
