Your details to unlock results

Use the shutdown cleaning planner to map the work inside your available shutdown window. Start with the site release time, then add each cleaning and handoff stage. Review the draft with the people responsible for those steps.

How to use the shutdown cleaning planner

Enter the start of the shutdown in the site’s local clock time and the available window. Then enter hours and minutes for site release, access, cleaning, residue collection, inspection, restart, and contingency. The planner places those stages in sequence and compares the total with your available time.

Include the work around the cleaning

A useful plan includes the handoffs as well as the cleaning itself. Identify who releases the equipment, who provides access, and who accepts the result. Record the time needed for those steps so the crew’s cleaning time is not mistaken for the entire shutdown.

Review your shutdown cleaning planner results

The schedule uses the durations you enter. It does not assign work to multiple crews or model tasks that overlap. Times are shown without timezone or daylight-saving conversion. Review any window that crosses a clock change with the site coordinator.

Confirm the window with the project team

Use the report to discuss equipment scope, access, and a representative test with Precision. A test can inform the proposed cleaning duration. The draft schedule does not confirm crew availability, a booking, or permission to restart equipment.

Prepare the information for your cleaning schedule

Before entering durations, gather the asset list and the site’s access rules. Ask maintenance who releases the equipment and who inspects it afterward. Also confirm whether another contractor needs the same work area. Keep a separate note of any duration that still needs a test. Then review those assumptions with the project team before using the schedule for a shutdown decision. For background on the cleaning stage, see Cold Jet’s explanation of dry ice blasting.
