Turnaround projects (TARs) – temporary facility shutdowns to accommodate asset maintenance or upgrades – is time critical. Offshore or other remote facilities present unique challenges that make TARs particularly vulnerable to scheduling delays having significant financial consequences.
Safe, efficient execution of shutdown management and TARs of your industrial assets are possible while remaining on schedule and under budget. Through the application of advanced workflow management processes, our customized MODS Connect TAR package allows organizations to easily collaborate, removing the headache from managing TARs and other shutdowns.
TAR and shutdown management risks and challenges, which impact project schedules, include:
-
Instability in interrupting Operations and Maintenance and pressures to get back up and running
-
Pre-planning and readiness of shutdown activities
-
Getting materials, equipment and personnel to the right place, at the right time and in the right sequence
-
Ensuring accountability and traceability in handing over quality-assured systems
-
Ineffective handovers from operations to decommissioning, loss of archival information and data gaps.
-
Balancing competing workflow priorities.
-
Navigating reams of paper and massive hard-copy dossiers for information.
-
Communicating and clarifying contractor responsibilities and transferring site-specific knowledge to the contractor.
-
Ensuring contractors follow the work plan and are accountable.
MODS Connect Work Pack module links all the essential details pertaining to engineering, manning, materials, inventory, fabrication, installation/deconstruction, HSE (Health, Safety and Environment), scheduling, and estimated time. This module delivers an accountable and visible real-time view of the task from planning to signoff. SIMOPS are visible, coordinated and with all data linked to effectively manage work fronts.
MODS Connect Completions creates a visible and dependable information management system. The continuous interface between construction, commissioning and into operational acceptance mitigates surprises and ensures the smooth and comprehensive transfer of quality assured records. Auto-population, structured administration and reporting from the database ensure a logical, safe, and smooth handover.
MODS Connect Materials Manager module is a comprehensive inventory control system. Live materials, component and equipment data is saved in a centralized database, ensuring instant and accurate access from anywhere at anytime.MODS Connect Materials Manager module is a comprehensive inventory control system.

MODS Connect Joint Integrity module uses QR codes and handheld devices to control the processes associated with joint management and pipe systems testing. Designed to enable users to interact directly with the database and track each joint online, our Joint Integrity solution ensures leak-free start up, process safety and major hazard avoidance.
Our visualization data hub, Reality, enables real-time TAR visualization for remotely monitoring onsite progress through 2D, 3D, point-cloud and 360-degree visualizations. With Reality, you can easily navigate and monitor your asset, build 3D objects, as well as measure and tag components.

“Starting the first turnaround operation with a new digital solution gave us more flexibility to adjust our processes…When preparing for a turnaround, we always need to know what’s going to happen in advance, we don’t want any surprises as they usually result in delays. What we do want is predictability…The clarity, visibility and speed [of TAR digitalization with MODS Connect have] been revolutionary.”
Bill Karuppiah
Project Engineer
“I’ve used MODS software solutions during several major turnaround projects. Digital software without a doubt, shortens schedules, improves efficiency and communication, and gives clarity and confidence to all involved…Turnarounds become more predictable than ever before. Without specialized software, you cannot be certain that your turnaround will be on time and on budget. A data-driven turnaround is the future, the only way forward to ensure first time success and that schedules stay to plan. It is a faster and more accurate turnaround when using digital software, especially when it is all connected together…I personally would not want to return to the ‘old ways’ of paper-based tracking and documentation. It was slow and inaccurate.”
