PRE-OUTAGE SCOPE DEFINITION & ASSESSMENT 

A successful outage begins long before the turbine shuts down. We assist in defining the precise scope of work 18–24 months in advance. Our team reviews historical operational data, previous outage execution reports, and current generator performance metrics to identify critical path activities.

RESOURCE & LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT

Managing the supply chain is critical to preventing schedule slippage. We handle the logistical heavy lifting to ensure your site is ready day one. 

  • Procurement of long-lead time capital parts.
  • Coordination of specialized tooling and heavy lifting equipment.
  • Sourcing and vetting of specialized labor forces.

CRITICAL PATH SCHEDULING

We utilize advanced project management software (Primavera/MS Project) to build detailed, hour-by-hour outage schedules. We identify the "Critical Path"—the sequence of stages determining the minimum time needed for the operation—ensuring that non-critical tasks do not interfere with the primary timeline.

SAFETY PLANNING & COMPLIANCE

Safety is the backbone of our planning process. We develop comprehensive EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) plans tailored to your facility’s specific hazards. 

  • Site-specific LOTO (Lock Out / Tag Out) procedure development.
  • Confined space entry management and rescue planning.
  • Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) zone establishment.

CONTINGENCY & EMERGENT WORK STRATEGY

"Found work" is inevitable during major overhauls of gas turbines. Our best practice planning includes robust contingency protocols to address unexpected findings—such as erosion, cracking, or alignment issues—without derailing the entire schedule with longer outage durations. We provide rapid engineering dispositions to keep the project moving.

Restoring Peak Reliability With Expert Steam Turbine Major Outage Planning

Your steam turbine’s performance depends on precise coordination—and even small missteps in planning can cascade into extended downtime, unexpected costs, and compromised asset reliability. A major outage is where operational risk is highest, and without a disciplined, data-driven plan, delays, scope creep, and schedule overruns become inevitable.

At Advanced Turbine Support, our Major Outage Planning Turbine Services integrate historical operating data, OEM specifications, and field-proven methodologies to engineer a complete outage roadmap. We define exact work scope, align resources, schedule inspections, and anticipate contingencies—ensuring every task is controlled, validated, and executed with precision.

Whether preparing for a first-time major overhaul or optimizing your long-term maintenance cycle, our process protects your investment against costly errors, unplanned component replacements, and operational disruption—delivering safer execution, reduced outage times, and improved turbine availability across your entire power-generation cycle.
