TOCO has received a formal letter of appreciation from Vale Oman Pelletizing Company (VALE) Sohar for delivering “Outstanding Performance” during the recently concluded 40 days ‘Cold Shutdown (CSD)’ event.

The shutdown event clocked 600,000 manhours and successfully completed without any Lost Time Incidents (LTI). During this period, preventive maintenance for the major equipment was carried out to improve asset life and reliability.

TOCO has been delivering Planning & Management services to VALE through a long term framework contract awarded in 2019. The scope of the contract covers specialised turnaround, maintenance and materials management services  for VALE’s world class steel pelletizing complex based out of Sohar Industrial City. A highly skilled team of TOCO engineers are assisting VALE around the year in managing the Routine and Reactive maintenance, Sustaining and Engineering projects, Contracts and Materials control, Shutdowns & Turnarounds. The team has extended their support for the VALE CSD-2022 in all phases – starting right from the job list preparation to concluding with the Close-out Report, and in all aspects of planning, coordination & monitoring activities, including assistance in SAP system.

Our sister company AITS , supported the shutdown execution through provision of skilled labour.

VALE Management appreciated our teams for their excellent performance which enabled a safe and successful conclusion of the shutdown event.

Maintenance

We work in partnership with leading International Oil Companies (IOCs) ,National Oil Companies (NOCs), utility companies, steel manufacturers and industrial asset owners to deliver innovative maintenance, reliability, asset integrity and management solutions.

Our ‘total solution’ philosophy is structured to minimise interface management issues thereby ensuring the seamless integration of the entire spectrum of plant maintenance disciplines.

TOCO has extensive experience in providing maintenance services to Oil and Gas upstream facilities, pipelines, tank farms, refineries and gas processing plants. TOCO has the capability to manage client facilities and maintain virtually any type of assets within the industrial environments.
Our excellent long term relationships with third party service providers and suppliers enable us to meet the most difficult of challenges in service and delivery deadlines. Our unique recruitment, competence assurance and training processes have helped us form a quality team of maintenance professionals who currently deliver robust asset integrity services to the world’s leading energy companies.

Shutdowns and Turnarounds

TOCO differentiates shutdowns and turnarounds from regular maintenance and project work due to their unique characteristics and volatility. We assist global energy companies to form long-term turnaround protocols, then to plan and execute these safely within a defined budget and schedule. We ensure asset operators achieve turnaround objectives, including increased asset reliability and reduced cost of ownership.

Our turnaround teams efficiently interface with maintenance and project teams for the most effective utilisation of the shutdown time window. We have worked on many of the largest, most complex industrial facilities across Oman and have extensive knowledge of process systems and key equipment. Our ‘total solution’ philosophy is structured to minimise interface management issues and thereby ensures seamless integration of all shutdown activities.

Our focus is to provide our customers with the highest quality turnaround management service without harm to people or our environment. Safety is of utmost importance in everything we do and we are proud of our safety records.
