The Furmanite team completed all the work to a very professional and high standard, in a timely and well organized fashion. We saw no issues during the shut, which allowed us to concentrate on other matters.
The attention to detail was noticed, all safety aspects were addressed, resulting in a seamless shut with regards to the valve work.
