Shutdown Management & Optimization Services

Shutdown Services Overview

Carver PA Corporation provides five types of Shut Down or Turnaround technical support services. The type of service required by your organization depends on where your organization is in its development. Please review the following in order to determine which service will best suit the needs of your organization. If you are unsure, contact us we would be happy to help you decide!

1) Advanced Commissioning Planning, and Control Field Training Programs. These programs consist of a mix of classroom
based case-study working sessions followed up with one-on-one coaching by a Carver Specialist. This combination ensures
the workshop learning is fully understood, behaviours embedded and then practically applied at your site, provided the necessary
tools are available.

2) Shutdown Planning and Control Field Training Facilitation Manuals Shutdown SUPER Specialist Manual (CSSM) -
This manual is designed as a “cookbook” for your team to ensure consistent, high quality training in Shutdown and
Commissioning Management. It is a reference manual for both senior and junior staff to gain the theoretical knowledge
required to prepare, plan, control, and terminate a Commissioning sub-project. This is typically supplemented with:

• Advanced Shutdown Management & Planning Training Program by Carver to ensure a solid knowledge base
  is established that will provide a foundation to build on and subsequently minimize learning time (see below).

• On-site Shutdown Coaching Support from one of Carver’s Senior Field Facilitators throughout development
  and field execution of the shutdown project.

3) Shutdown Quality Control Manual.
This manual documents a set of Standard Shutdown Planning Practices and is referenced in all training programs. This manual
should be integrated into your Operations and Maintenance Standard Practices Manual. It must incorporate your internal policies,
decision making culture and Standard Operating Procedures. This manual will drive consistent high quality Shutdown Planning
and Control practices on an ongoing basis for current and future Shutdown Projects.

4) Shutdown Readiness Review Assessment.
**Note: this assessment should take place 2 to 6 months prior to ‘Feed-On’ date in order to allow time for refinements in Planning
and Control preparations. The output of the review is a practical plan forward approach for the recommended prioritized improvements.

5) Supply of Contract Shutdown Staff required resources to supplement internal teams. This often includes Carver PA Corporation
providing Shutdown/Turnaround Specialists to supplement the Shutdown planning and control processes.
