Turnaround Services

It is critical that equipment be installed in a safe and proper manner to provide the customer with the maximum benefit possible for the application. There is no substitute for an experienced, safe, well-trained, and properly supervised installation crew during plant turnarounds, and KSPS offers unmatched capabilities in these areas.

KSPS has more than 40 years of experience in the refining and petrochemical industries, including tower services, construction turnaround services, asset integrity management, code welding work related to the repair, replacement and field fabrication of towers and vessels, project services, and engineering. From pre-job planning and design through construction and installation, KSPS’ focus on safety and efficiency can ensure your equipment is up and running quickly, efficiently and safely, resulting in less downtime no matter where you are in the world. 

For specialized equipment inspection and/or installation expertise, our Certified Tower Specialist (CTS) consultants are available globally to observe and analyze installations from start to finish for added turnaround management.

At your work site, a Koch-Glitsch field technician can inventory equipment, observe, and inspect new and replacement equipment installations, assist in evaluating and inspecting existing equipment during plant turnarounds or unplanned outages, be an onsite resource to resolve inquiries to assure equipment is installed to Koch-Glitsch’s specifications, and expedite installation and field troubleshooting.

While it is important to properly plan for scheduled maintenance and plant turnarounds, sometimes unplanned outages occur. That’s where Koch-Glitsch’s emergency services thrive. Koch-Glitsch stocks many common raw materials to allow for cost effective and expedited equipment delivery to get you back online, regardless of original equipment manufacturer. Make Koch-Glitsch your first call for your planned plant turnarounds or emergency maintenance and repairs.
