Plant Startup Services

At On Site Repair Services, we’re known for restoring plants worn down by years of operation — but we also specialize in helping new plants get up and running smoothly. Even new facilities can face unexpected challenges during startup, which is why we offer expert plant startup support tailored to your needs.

Typically, we assign 2 to 4 of our highly skilled field service technicians to temporarily support your facility maintenance team during this critical phase. Our technicians are multi-skilled professionals trained in millwrighting, pipefitting (industrial process piping and plumbing), fabrication (all American Welding Society certified), mechanical repair, and equipment installation or relocation. This versatility is a huge advantage—allowing your plant to avoid juggling multiple contractors and ensuring a seamless startup process.

Alongside our field team, we have a fully equipped in-house machine shop and fabrication shop ready to assist with any custom needs during your plant’s launch.

Facility Maintenance Startup Crew

Once on site, our multi-talented technicians collaborate closely with your maintenance crew, advising on the best strategies for facility maintenance management. This partnership is a valuable opportunity for your team to familiarize themselves thoroughly with new equipment and processes, taking the time needed to learn everything properly.

Our technicians assist with a wide range of startup tasks including equipment installation and relocation, on-site fabrication of structural components like stairways and catwalks, and overseeing mechanical startups. As your plant moves into the testing phase, we stay on site to troubleshoot and resolve any issues that arise, ensuring your equipment runs smoothly before we leave.

Smoother Operations

By leveraging On Site Repair’s plant startup services, you can reduce operational and maintenance costs during those critical first years. We make sure your maintenance crew gains the hands-on experience and knowledge they need to confidently manage and maintain the facility long-term.
