Facility managers maintain a delicate balance where every second costs and the slightest mishap could spell millions wasted in unplanned outages; in fact, unplanned downtime is estimated to cost a medium-tolarge refinery 12 million dollars per day.
For decades, the standard approach to heat exchanger maintenance and pre-commissioning involved a complex web of vendors. One contractor for tube cleaning, another for NDT, and perhaps a third for chemical cleaning or repair. This fragmented model often leads to scheduling conflicts, communication breakdowns, and increased downtime.
Conco Services is changing that narrative by integrating cleaning, testing, and repair services into a single-source, turnkey model. This approach combines specialized NDT with proprietary, eco-friendly cleaning technologies to reduce downtime and improve operational reliability. With seamless coordination and communication internally, Conco will execute a synchronized project with outstanding results getting you back online faster.
