Oil and Gas
For the past 50 years, Downer has been a leading service provider to the oil and gas sector. We work with our clients to manage greenfield and brownfield projects of all sizes and structures, including those in remote locations.
We have the proven operational capabilities to successfully manage local projects with the support of a resource base across geographical areas and we offer our clients extensive experience in engineering, procurement and construction management, as well as partnering on long-term maintenance contracts.
Our understanding of the causes of delays and costs associated with construction projects and refinery shutdowns has led us to develop systems and expertise to manage resources and equipment to complete work safely and economically within the shortest practical timeframe.
Downer has the resources to carry out a major plant turnaround from initial planning and scheduling, resourcing, mobilisation, execution, monitoring, safety and environmental management, procurement and subcontractor management, through to performance testing, commissioning and finally, handover.
