Shutdown Scoping That Holds
Crew size and sequence are planned against your window, and we say during planning when a scope will not fit.
About Us
To keep industrial facilities clean, safe and compliant through trained crews who understand plant hazards as well as cleaning methods.
Who We Are
About Our Company
Cleanport provides industrial cleaning for manufacturing plants, food and pharmaceutical facilities, warehouses and heavy industry. Scope covers floor scrubbing and degreasing, machine and equipment cleaning, high-level cleaning of structural steel, beams, cable trays, ductwork and light fittings, pit and sump cleaning, spill response, and production area sanitation to hygiene standards where product is exposed. Our technicians are inducted and trained for industrial environments, including lockout and tagout discipline, permit systems, confined space entry, work at height and the specific hazards of working near energized and moving equipment.
Two things separate this work from commercial cleaning. The first is safety competence: a crew that does not understand why a guard stays in place or what a permit actually authorizes creates risk that outweighs any cleaning benefit. The second is method. Combustible dust accumulation on overhead surfaces must be captured with vacuum and controlled methods rather than blown down with compressed air, which simply suspends it. Cleanport works in live production and during planned shutdowns across , and we plan shutdown scopes realistically rather than agreeing to a window we cannot hold.
Core Capabilities
- Incidents and equipment damage are reported immediately and investigated.
- Waste is characterized, segregated and tracked to its disposal route.
- Hygiene and GMP area work is documented with sign-off per area.
- Lockout, tagout and permit to work requirements are verified before entry.
- Equipment cleaning methods are agreed with maintenance before starting.
- High-level cleaning uses capture and collection rather than compressed air.
Our Mission
To hold the shutdown windows our clients plan production around, with honest scoping and daily progress reporting rather than optimistic promises.
Our Advantages
Why Clients Choose Us
Industrial Safety Competence
Crews are trained in lockout, permits, confined space and work at height, and understand why a guard stays where it is.
Methods Matched To Equipment
Cleaning near bearings, guides and electrical enclosures uses techniques that do not push contamination where it causes failures.
Waste Characterized And Disposed
Sludge, coolant, oil and process residue are contained and removed through licensed routes with documentation retained.
Dust Captured, Not Blown Down
Overhead accumulation is vacuumed with rated equipment, because compressed air simply suspends combustible dust across the plant.
Hygiene Documentation Available
Food and pharmaceutical areas are cleaned to written procedures with chemical, contact time and verification records retained.
Methods Matched To Equipment
Chemistry, pressure and technique are agreed with maintenance beforehand, so nothing gets water into a bearing or stripped off a coated surface.
Hygiene Work Documented
Food and GMP area cleaning is recorded per area with sign-off, giving your quality team evidence rather than an assurance that it was done.
Trained For Live Plants
Crews are inducted on lockout, machine guarding and traffic rules, because the risk in plant cleaning is the plant rather than the cleaning.
From Our Desk
Insights & Updates
Housekeeping As A Safety Control
Documented cleaning coverage supports dust and slip risk assessments. How to make records count.
Compressed Air And Combustible Dust
Blowing accumulation down creates the exact hazard you were trying to remove. What capture methods look like.
Which Cleaning Needs A Shutdown
Splitting live-area work from outage-only tasks makes both safer and cheaper. A practical scope split.
Cleaning Around Bearings And Guides
Wrong methods push contamination into exactly the places that fail. Technique matters near machinery.
Client Feedback
What Clients Say
Their crews understand our lockout procedure better than some contractors who work on the equipment itself. That competence is why they are allowed on the floor during production.
S. HalvorsenPlant Manager, Manufacturing Facility
The overhead dust program is documented properly and feeds straight into our dust hazard analysis. The previous arrangement was compressed air and hope.
A. OgunleyeEHS Manager, Processing Plant
They told us during planning that our shutdown scope would not fit the window and proposed what to prioritize. Finishing on time was better than attempting everything.
V. LindgrenMaintenance Superintendent, Automotive Supplier
Need Cleaning Crews Who Understand Plants?
Cleanport will walk your site, assess hazards and propose a scope split between live and shutdown work.
