A Turkish Adventure: Our First Shutdown Experience Our recent shutdown project in Turkey marked a significant milestone for our company. As experts in aerial bundle extraction, we were thrilled to be selected to participate in this operation at a refinery located in Turkey. Navigating the Logistics: ATA Carnet and Project Planning One of the key challenges we faced was the logistics of transporting our equipment to Turkey. This is where the ATA Carnet proved invaluable. We learned about this customs document and successfully obtained one, saving us significant time and money. An ATA Carnet is essentially a passport for goods, allowing for duty-free import and export within a specified timeframe. We discovered the importance of this document during our preparations and were fortunate to secure one through FICCI, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry. A Record-Breaking Performance Upon arriving in Turkey, our team hit the ground running. We are delighted to report that we successfully completed 360 bundle operations in just 26 days, averaging an impressive 13 operations per day. This achievement is a testament to our team’s efficiency and dedication. We also set another record by completing 25 jobs in a single day. This accomplishment demonstrates our ability to optimize resources and coordinate our efforts to maximize productivity.

Overcoming Challenges: Communication and Adaptation While the project was a success, we faced some challenges along the way. The language barrier, due to the limited English proficiency of many Turkish workers, required us to adapt our communication strategies. We utilized translation services and hired a Turkish HSE supervisor to ensure smooth operations and compliance with safety regulations. Additionally, we encountered logistical challenges related to work permits and daily schedule changes. However, our team demonstrated flexibility and adaptability in navigating these obstacles.
