SFI Australia provides a turnkey solution for materials and logistics, tracking, labour and inventory control.

SFI Australia has been a nationwide leader in delivering specialised services for complex shutdowns, turnarounds and outages across oil and gas, mining, energy and manufacturing. SFI have successfully managed shutdowns ranging from short-duration maintenance projects to multi-week, full-scale facility outages. SFI have delivered results for clients operating in high-demand industries with zero-tolerance for extended downtime and are skilled in coordinating large, multi-disciplinary teams of engineers, technicians and contractors. SFI’s advanced planning and execution is continually refined using state-of-the-art planning tools for precise scheduling and progress tracking.

SFI collaborates with the client to clearly define the scope, objectives and critical milestones of the project, and employs a structured, detail-oriented approach to the planning and scheduling. SFI’s methodology ensures minimal downtime, adherence to budgets and safe execution. SFI conducts thorough assessments of the facility to identify potential risks, resource needs and constraints and determines the required personnel, equipment and materials to ensure all resources are available when needed. SFI regularly involve all key stakeholders, including client teams, contractors and vendors, to ensure alignment, and implement real-time progress tracking and reporting mechanisms to keep everyone informed of updates and milestones. In terms of performance, SFI evaluate the shutdown or turnaround against KPIs like downtime, safety incidents and budget adherence.

Safety and compliance are core pillars of SFI Australia's operations when managing high-risk shutdowns, turnarounds and outages. SFI are committed to creating a zero-incident environment, while adhering to all regulatory requirements and regulations. SFI stay up to date with local, national and international regulatory requirements and perform regular internal and third-party audits to ensure compliance with all safety and environmental regulations. SFI conduct detailed JSAs for every task to identify and mitigate risks before work begins. SFI ensure all workers have access to and are trained in using the appropriate PPE for their tasks and continuously assess and address risks as the project progresses.

SFI Australia recognises that effective communication and coordination is critical to the success of any shutdown, turnaround or outage. SFI’s approach ensures that all stakeholders, from clients to contractors are aligned throughout the project lifecycle. To achieve this, SFI assign a dedicated project manager who serves as the main communication link between SFI Australia and the client, ensuring consistency and clarity. Further coordination is delivered by daily or weekly briefings with key stakeholders to review progress, address concerns, outline roles and responsibilities, timelines, protocols and next steps. This enables SFI to provide the client with a defined reporting structure, including daily progress updates, weekly summaries and post-project reviews with access to real-time dashboards that display project progress, timelines and potential risks.

SFI Australia is committed to delivering projects on time and within budget while maintaining the highest standards of safety, quality and efficiency. SFI achieve this through proactive planning, real-time monitoring and stringent cost-control measures. SFI develop accurate, itemised cost estimates based on historical data, industry benchmarks and project-specific requirements. Audits of existing resources and infrastructure further identify potential cost-saving opportunities. SFI identify and prioritise critical tasks to prevent costly delays and ensure efficient resource utilisation and use industry leading project management tools to monitor budgets in real-time.
