  This is a very important topic which unfortunately it's difficult to find detailed references, but there are very interesting and high level publications in the specialised literature. Belwiy's possible to find a short list of references about this topic:

  1:  Book "Turnaround Management" by Tom Lenahan published in 1999.

  2: Book "Estimating Construction Costs" by Peurifoy, R.L. and Oberlender, G.D. published in 1989.

  3: Book "Process Plants: Shutdown and Turnaround Management" by Trinath Sahoo published in 2013.

  4: Article "Cost Estimating for Turnarounds" by Gordon Lawrence published in the Q1 2012 of PTQ Magazine, which you can view HERE
