Top 3 Tips for Industrial Operations Planning a Turnaround

April 10, 2013 by Turnaround Logistics Leave a Comment

Experience is the best teacher of all, and if you do something long enough, you’ll eventually get good at it. So we’ve learned a thing or two over the years from working with our customers.

We have a policy that our customers are always right, and there’s nothing we won’t try to do to satisfy their requests — within reason, of course. But sometimes, we’ve found, a customer will get a little confused about how to best proceed with a company offering logistics services. So here are a few tips to help guide you in meeting the logistical needs of your plant turnaround.

  1.  Whoever you use as a supplier, make sure they are basically capable of whatever product or service you are looking for. Check out the supplier’s website and follow up on the phone with a customer service rep.
  2.  Plan ahead for whatever services or equipment you need. Don’t wait till the last day to place an order. Typically, it will take a supplier a day to round up the people and equipment you need for a function and another day to set everything up.
  3.  You should always take into consideration the placement of temporary facilities, whether they are tents or office trailers or sanitation units. If you situate temporary equipment in a place where it will interfere with another business activity in the interim, you’ll have to add an additional cost to your invoice by asking the supplier to come back and move the temporary equipment. Try to know exactly where things should go beforehand.

The best piece of advice we can give you when it comes to your turnaround needs is: Think things through and plan ahead. (That holds true for a lot of problems.) And please feel free to contact us for any other questions you have when you’re doing your planning. That’s what we’re here for.

New Year, New Website…Same Great Service

March 21, 2013 by Turnaround Logistics Leave a Comment

If you’ve visited our website recently, you may have noticed something different about it:  a complete makeover.  We’re a modern company offering some of the most highly respected clients in the country complete, state-of-the-art workforce accommodations, and we decided our website should better reflect that.  We officially launched it in October, and so far, it’s gotten a wonderful response.

One of the first things you’ll notice on the home page is that it’s sleeker and more visually appealing.  Beyond that, though, are many changes that are built to make your experience on our site better.  It’s much more user-friendly than our old website, and includes a lot more valuable information on our services.  Click on any of the links and you’ll find full descriptions and informative areas of information, all of it as easy to navigate as it is useful.

You’ll also notice we’ve added a “Request a Quote” function that allows you to easily receive a quote through our website.  This added feature has not only proven helpful to our site visitors, but to us as well; we’ve gained many new contacts through this link.  And did you know we are very active on social media? Now you can reach our Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn pages, as well as our blog, directly through our website.  Want to check out examples of our past work? They’re right there on our home page.

We’re very excited about our new and improved website, and encourage you to check it out.  We think it better represents who we are, what we do, and how we’re constantly evolving and moving forward.  Check it out and let us know what you think!

New Year, New Offerings

February 11, 2013 by Turnaround Logistics Leave a Comment

As many of our clients and readers may know by now, we at Turnaround Logistics have been providing turnkey services, including logistical planning, tents, Dynamic Air Shelters, personnel, and equipment, for years.  While it could seem that our success in those areas would be enough to keep us content, we have recently decided to offer additional services.

After some time having our satisfied customers ask if we could provide them with bus rentals, we’ve decided to go for it, and we’ve begun 2013 by adding that to our list of capabilities.  We are now running transportation buses for turnaround projects, ensuring yet another aspect of logistical services is taken care of.  Offering bus service that is manned and maintained, we officially launched the new offering in December 2012, and so far it is off to a great start.

Many old and new petrochemical clients are eager to take advantage of our new bus service, including the Shell Refinery in Deer Park, Texas.  We are beyond pleased to know that our loyal customers—as well as plenty of new ones—are trusting us with all of their needs, and are highly satisfied with the bus transportation services we are now providing.  As a company that is on the cutting edge of the industry, with our finger on the pulse of what companies need and want for their workforce and logistical solutions, we’re delighted to keep adding to our company and growing as the need arises.

We look forward to 2013 and what it brings, and especially to building and maintaining our relationships with our customers.
