Here at Tata Chemicals Europe we hold ourselves to the highest standards of safety and excellence, two of our core values. As part of maintaining these standards, every year we carry out critical maintenance and statutory inspection work, which requires a planned shutdown of our Lostock site.
This year’s shutdown will commence on Saturday 31st August and work is likely to continue until Thursday 5th September.
In order to ensure that the plant can be restarted successfully and safely we need to keep the plant warm and certain process flows operational throughout the shutdown period. Unfortunately, especially if weather conditions are still and calm, this and the restarting of the plant can create some additional unavoidable noise, for which we apologise in advance. Please therefore don’t be alarmed if you hear any unusual noise from the plant in this period and please be assured that we will make every effort to ensure that the noise is minimised as much as possible and that the stoppage is completed on time.
