To prepare for their 2020 plant shutdown, SABIC sought a more controlled, data-driven approach to shutdown planning and execution.
With a major shutdown planned for March 2020, SABIC needed a comprehensive software solution to manage the planning and execution of their offsites shutdown. This involved overseeing 1,000 kilometres of high-hazard pipelines and critical storage infrastructure, all requiring meticulous coordination to ensure safety and operational continuity.
SABIC aimed to eliminate the risks associated with scope creep - unplanned work emerging during shutdowns- an occurrence that can introduce hazards, inefficiencies, and delays. The chosen solution had to centralise planning data, streamline work pack creation, and ensure accessibility for all teams involved.
SABIC selected IAMTech’s iPlanSTO, deploying it across their North Tees and Wilton sites. The software enabled the shutdown teams to conduct extensive pre-planning, ensuring that all necessary work packs were created, validated, and stored in a centralised system. This approach significantly reduced the likelihood of emergent, unplanned tasks that could derail the shutdown timeline or compromise safety.
iPlanSTO also provided robust data analysis tools, allowing SABIC to ensure that every element of the shutdown was accounted for in advance. This focus on upfront data preparation and control positioned SABIC to execute their shutdown with greater confidence and precision.
With iPlanSTO, SABIC enhanced both the safety and efficiency of their shutdown processes. The software’s analytical and planning capabilities ensured that critical maintenance tasks were planned in depth, reducing both risks and potential costs.
"Data control is excellent - the important piece with data for a Shutdown is getting everything in place up front. Planning data analysis in iPlan is excellent."
