Reliability, Maintenance & Turnarounds

When you know how your maintenance costs, equipment reliability, and turnaround performance compare to those of other operators, you gain important insights that can support critical decision-making and uncover hidden improvement opportunities. In addition, the clarity of vision you get from a trusted third-party assessment can help you reduce unanticipated maintenance disruptions and their associated risks. Solomon has more data and insight on maintenance, reliability, and turnarounds than any other firm, along with experienced consultants who can help you take specific actions to improve performance and profitability.

Our performance metrics include operations data from the following:

• More than 10,000 production units
• More than 54,000 refinery turnarounds over the last 40 years

This data can help in evaluating your internal operations as well as your performance in comparison with others in the industry.
