About MaintraX
MaintraX is an engineering office based in Hockenheim (Baden-Württemberg) specializing in turnaround and shutdown management, maintenance planning, and process optimization for the process industry. The company supports operators in the chemical, pharmaceutical, energy, oil and gas, and food industries in structuring and executing scheduled shutdowns and preventing unscheduled outages. Services include scheduling and resource planning, interface and risk management, cost and schedule controlling, as well as the setup of data-based maintenance strategies based on RCM, RCA, TPM, and Predictive Maintenance. Additionally, MaintraX creates plant documentation such as R&I process flow diagrams, piping isometrics, and equipment and valve documentation, and supports gap analyses and audit preparation. The foundation is the owner's more than twelve years of practical experience in shutdown and maintenance projects, including at BASF. In previous projects, shutdown times were reduced by an average of 30 to 50 percent.
