‘I have hired Irwin's for safety watch (man watch) on numerous shutdowns at Genesee power station. Aside from shutdowns, I have recommended them for labour supply to work on our bag house at G-3 and they have been requested to come back for the last three years with very good reviews. Irwin’s staff have good leadership, experience and are helpful and pleasant to deal with, even when urgent situations arise.’

Turnaround Consulting

Focused on client-driven communication, our team of power engineers, project management executives and safety experts possesses the specialized industry experience to ensure that your next turnaround is safe, efficient and cost-effective. Our consultants employ tools to help you quantifiably measure performance in real time as we identify efficiency gaps and offer solutions relying on Irwin's continuous-improvement model: 

Efficiency Tracking:

IRWIN'S has the data to show our clients a more efficient approach to safety staffing. With our industrial analytics program, government-mandated Safety Watch personnel are repurposed as efficiency trackers, categorizing every minute spent by contractors on-site as either work time, idle time, downtime or wait time. By identifying and eliminating these gaps, our clients improve productivity and save hundreds of thousands of dollars!
