Before starting up

Operational Readiness

Is the plant, crew and supply ready to commission or restart?

Plants stall on the conditions around them as often as on the equipment itself. We assess whether an idle, restarting or newly built operation is ready to run, and set out a staged route to steady production.

Who it is for

  • Owners of idle or care-and-maintenance assets
  • Operators preparing a restart or commissioning
  • Buyers, lenders and government bodies weighing support for an operation

What we look at

  • The plant: its condition and what remains intact
  • The crew: skills, staffing, training and maintenance readiness
  • The supply: power, feed, reagents and other inputs, water and spares
  • Customers, offtake and logistics
  • Restart or ramp-up cost, sequence and time
  • Which conditions are within the owner’s control and which are not
  • Jobs that could return, stated as ceilings, not forecasts

What you receive

  • A written readiness assessment
  • A staged plan with dated decision points
  • The conditions that must be met, with an owner for each

Scope, fees and timing are agreed in writing before any work starts.
