+44 1642 955350Sadara Chemical Company, operator of the world’s largest chemical complex ever built in a single phase, partnered with IAMTech to enhance their turnaround (TAR) planning and execution in Saudi Arabia with iPlanSTO.
In 2019, Sadara approached IAMTech in search of a digital planning tool that could complement and integrate with their existing systems—namely SAP and Primavera P6. The aim was to find a solution that could not only support large-scale turnarounds but also align with Sadara’s established internal processes. With operations spanning 26 manufacturing plants, Sadara required a powerful, scalable solution to unify and standardise their turnaround processes.
Customisation and flexibility were key priorities. Sadara wanted to deploy the software on-site and configure it to reflect their existing turnaround workflows. They were particularly interested in iPlan’s norms-driven estimation feature, which provides consistent, data-backed activity durations. This functionality allows planners to produce accurate and comparable estimates, creating a unified standard across multiple turnaround events and enabling better benchmarking between jobs.
iPlanSTO offered Sadara a centralised suite of tools to plan, monitor, and execute their shutdowns and turnarounds with greater efficiency. Real-time visibility into event progress was especially valuable, given the scale of operations and the need to manage multiple, simultaneous turnarounds across numerous plants.
With iPlanSTO, Sadara's planners gained the ability to build robust, structured work packs while staying aligned with corporate standards. The platform also supported transparent communication across teams and improved data integrity throughout the turnaround lifecycle.
Through the adoption of iPlanSTO, Sadara has established a scalable and standardised approach to turnaround management. The integration with SAP and Primavera ensures that critical planning data flows seamlessly across systems, while the norms-based estimation feature promotes consistency and confidence in project forecasting.
The partnership has enabled Sadara to increase efficiency, reduce risk, and maintain greater control over complex, multi-plant turnaround programs, ensuring every event is executed with precision.
