Project Planning & Coordination Services
The Most Critical Work Happens Before the Project Starts
Expert turnaround planning, execution coordination, and project management that prevent delays, control costs, and deliver successful outcomes on schedule.
The challenge
Planning
Success is determined before the first wrench turns. Inadequate pre-planning creates cascading delays throughout execution. Multi-contractor coordination becomes overwhelming without dedicated resources. Materials arrive late, stopping critical path work. Safety permits bottleneck work progression.
For refineries: $10-50M+ turnarounds demand flawless execution. For power plants: $500K-2M+ daily outage costs leave no room for delays. For data centers: $250K+ daily costs make schedule adherence critical.
Foresight, Precision, Execution
OnPoint project professionals have managed hundreds of major industrial projects across every sector. We've encountered and overcame every conceivable cause of delay or idle time. We bring this hard-earned expertise to your project.
Our execution coordinators, schedulers, planners, and project managers integrate into your operations, working from an owner's perspective to protect your schedule, budget, and reputation.
Comprehensive Planning & Coordination Services
-
Industrial Project Coordination
Keep contractors productive, not waiting. Full-time execution coordinators manage daily coordination, identify bottlenecks
before they cause delays, and keep schedules on track through
real-time adjustments. -
Turnaround Planning Services
Pre-Turnaround Planning (12-9 Months Before)
Prevent problems before they happen. Comprehensive scoping, critical path analysis, and resource planning identify risks early. Contractor selection, materials planning, and safety coordination ensure readiness.
Detailed Planning (9-6 Months Before)
Execute flawlessly with shift-by-shift schedules, pre-kitted materials, and sequenced permits. Every detail planned means fewer surprises and faster execution.
-
Execution Coordination
Solve problems in real-time, not after delays compound. Dedicated coordinators manage contractor performance, coordinate permits with safety, align materials with schedules, and activate contingency plans when needed.
-
Industrial Project Management
Control costs and schedules comprehensively. Project controls, budget tracking, earned value management, and procurement coordination provide complete visibility. Document control and risk management prevent surprises.
-
Maintenance Planning Services
Routine Maintenance
Prevent unplanned downtime. Preventive maintenance scheduling, work order planning, and backlog management keep equipment reliable.
Outage Planning
Maximize work in minimal time. Unit shutdown planning, inspection scope development, and maintenance window optimization get equipment back online faster.
Small Capital Projects
Execute efficiently with proper scoping, budgeting, tie-in coordination, and commissioning planning.

Maintenance Planning
Best Practices
Proper maintenance planning prevents costly unplanned downtime. Reactive maintenance costs 3-5X more than planned maintenance. Our planning approach incorporates proven best practices:
Wrench Time
Optimization
Proper planning increases productive wrench time from typical 25-35% to 50%+. Pre-planning eliminates searching for tools, waiting for materials, and clarifying scope.
Material
Availability
Pre-staging materials and tools at work locations eliminates delays. Kitting complete job packages ensures nothing is forgotten.
Job Hazard
Analysis
Identify and control hazards before work begins. Proper JHA reduces injuries and eliminates work stoppages from unanticipated safety issues.
Accurate Time
Estimates
Realistic labor hour estimates enable proper resource allocation and schedule development. Historical data improves estimate accuracy over time.
Backlog
Management
Systematic prioritization ensures important work gets done. Backlog grooming identifies work ready for scheduling and work requiring additional planning.
