Bilfinger Turnaround Concept

When plants stand still, we make your turnaround work

The standard procedure in the process industry is to close plants regularly to be thoroughly checked and improved as part of a general plant shutdown, also known as a turnaround. For industrial plant operators, this means:

Production downtime,
Losing substantial turnover and profits, and
Potentially causing reputational impact with customers and shareholders.

With its Bilfinger Turnaround Concept (BTC), Bilfinger has developed a methodology that enables plant turnarounds in the process industry to be optimized. The BTC is a systematic approach that allows turnarounds to be planned and executed at the customer's locations and over multiple turnaround cycles.

The Bilfinger Turnaround Concept delivers tangible added value

Because of our systematic approach and the strategic targets set under the Bilfinger Turnaround Concept, we optimize the overall costs, reduce downtime, and extend the intervals between turnarounds. This intelligent approach adds greater value to our clients than simply competing based on reduced hourly rates or other factors.

The Bilfinger Turnaround Concept focuses on:

Safety & quality due to implementation of highest HSEQ standards
Qualified personnel through access to our global network
Reducing turnaround duration by applying special tools, productive resources, and improved planning & scheduling
Increasing intervals between turnarounds by deploying digital solutions to extend equipment lifetime
Providing cost-efficient and transparent solutions by offering attractive contract models and optimal turnaround execution

Core elements of the Bilfinger Turnaround Concept

The main principle of the BTC is to offer the highest possible level of competence precisely where our customers need it most while keeping the same level of quality. More specifically, the BTC consists of three elements:
