Plan Your Maintenance

Plan Your Maintenance Shutdown

JADCO • Rich F.2026-07-08T11:01:36-04:00

You can tell Summer is in full swing, with all of the road construction going on everywhere. Regardless where you are headed, detours and lane closures will impact travel time.

Traffic

Unless You Plan Ahead, Your Arrival Time Will Be Delayed.

Anxiety builds, tempers flare and you start to question if the trip is even worth the effort.

The same is often true for reliability engineers planning a maintenance shutdown.

The beauty of planning an outage, is uncovering roadblocks, hesitations and barriers in advance that might exist before you discover them at the last minute.

Lead Times Are At The Front Of Your Plan For A Reason

Supply chain issues started being a news item about the same time as the 2020 health crisis. They seem to have put down roots, and refuse to go away. Delivery times stretched, with availability of some components having no clear answers.

Maintenance outages always have priority in JADCO’s production schedule. We know the narrow delivery window you need to maintain your schedule. Getting materials into place before scaffolding, etc., arrives, is essential for work to begin on time, so the project succeeds.

Advance Planning Is Critical

Log Chain Deck
Having woodyard log chain deck sub-assemblies on site and ready to go, makes the installation easier for the shutdown. Working with JADCO up front assures no last minute scramble for materials or labor overruns due to delayed shipments

How Can JADCO Help In Planning Your Outage?

  • Establish firm delivery date in advance for materials to be on site.
  • Accurate, timely quotes up front, assures no surprises to your capital budget.
  • Work with both customer and contractor(s) so everyone knows the plan, with no interruptions.

Fear of the unknown is the cause for most of the anxiety and stress in people’s lives. When you look ahead for possible ways things can derail, your plan will avoid them.

Load

Whether you buy from us or not…understand and communicate when your steel will ship, and plan accordingly.

JADCO Is Here To Help Make Your Planning Easier.

JADCO’s QT-PLUS ® delivers greater performance IN YOUR MOST CHALLENGING WEAR APPLICATIONS than the various wear steel you have used in the past.

Being able to create wear resistant steel having the same hardness through the entire thickness of the steel, demands you accurately control the alloying chemistry with precise heat treating.

Doesn’t Every Steel Company Make Their Wear Plate Last As Long As JADCO QT-PLUS ® ?

The quick answer is No; although the attention to alloy content required at the steel mill is available to anyone. Yet most wear plate distributors choose to reduce the proper quantities and percentages of these essential alloying elements, to get a lower selling price.

QT PLUS

When you cut back on these critical alloys, wear life drops, and it is always the customer who suffers.

For the last 45 years JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer equipment life for our customers.

Now you understand why we deliver better results to our customers. By strictly focusing on improving your current results, we look at the wear process differently. This is why we deliver better performance results, and lower cost of ownership for our customers.

Allow us to help you today by emailing us at info@jadcomfg.com or calling (724) 452-5252.

We will schedule a meeting with one of our local wear plate specialists at a time that best fits your schedule.

Remember, the only thing you have to lose by not working with JADCO is profit.
