TAT - Overview

Technologist scope, encountered during Turnarounds, applies mainly to 3 main types of Equipment: Columns, Vessels & Reactors, and Heat Exchangers.

How TAT can help

IMS TAT can help you in the following ways:

• Provide you with an overview of Turnaround findings and scopes by:
  • Tracking all Planned Events
  • Recording Turnaround scopes
  • Capturing findings of Equipment
  • Generating Discovery Work proposals
• Guide you during TA inspection and enable you to view previous inspection results.
• Enable you to scope future TA activities. The tool captures (contains) data/results of previous findings in a structured manner for multiple sites.
• Systemize your tasks during a TA. There are rigorous checklists for all levels of experience.
• Enable you to trigger Discovery Work during a TA by quickly generating required documents with attached findings.
• Facilitate report writing post a TA and prepare the TA+1 recommendations and scoping.

The Intent of TAT

The intent of IMS TAT is to:

• Reduce TA cost:
  • Improved mobility
  • Increased efficiency
• Increase reliability:
  • Reduce Unplanned Downtime (UPDT) post TA
• Aid technologist during TA:
  • Standardized digital checklists
  • Access to previous findings
• Systematic and consistent data capture:
  • IMS is used for both inspections and automatic data storage
  • Reuse findings as input for TA scoping activities

TAT Integrates Several Tools

IMS TAT integrates several tools, such as:

• Equipment location and specification
• Attaching relevant documentation
• Photo annotations and drawings integration
• Approval statuses
• Inspection checklists
• Dashboards and board overview for status tracking
• Quick bulk imports for Turnaround scopes
• Tablet ready
