Equipment Sequencing in Eastern Province Plant Shutdowns: Forklift, Then Boom Lift, Then Crane
Coordinating equipment arrival during shutdowns in Jubail and Dammam to prevent handling conflicts with overhead lifts.

During Aramco and refinery shutdowns in the Eastern Province, schedules break down because three pieces of equipment arrive at the same hour. The proven practical sequence:
- Yard Clearance: A 12-ton or 16–25-ton forklift first, to clear crates and heavy units from the work zone.
- Technical Access: Boom lifts (22–36 m) for welding, valve maintenance, and flange inspection before the vessel is lifted.
- Heavy Lift: 200–500-ton crane during the low-wind window (typically early morning).
Never park a 53 m boom lift and a 500-ton crane at the same pick point without an arm-conflict drawing reviewed by the lift supervisor.
