Downer delivers over 130 shutdowns, turnarounds and outages a year to customers across the power, energy, industrial and marine sectors in Australia.

Our track record, focus on continual improvement and dedicated shutdown, turnaround and outage (STO) assurance framework are key to our success.

Downer's STO delivery centres on a six stage model, which outlines the key steps in process planning and highlights best practice solutions when developing plans for shutdowns. This structure provides a repeatable procedure which delivers consistent results.

Our STO framework includes the following phases:
  • Shutdown define phase
  • Strategic planning
  • Shutdown preparation phase
  • Execution of the shutdown
  • Project close-out
  • Review phase.

Downer's assurance framework combined with our commitment to continuous improvement, quality and systems and technology helps our customers prepare for some of the most challenging and pressured environments they will face in the life-cycle of plant operations.
