Operational Support
From field to control room, we strengthen operations with practical support that improves reliability, safety, and performance—because better results start with better run facilities.
Technical Training
We deliver targeted training built by engineers, for operators—focused on real systems, real consequences, and better decision-making in the field or control room.
- Process safety and fundamentals
- Equipment-specific training and troubleshooting
- Operator Training Simulators (OTS)
- Consequence-based training tied to real plant scenarios
Data & Digital Transformation
We help facilities turn data into decisions—connecting instrumentation, control systems, and advanced analytics for smarter, more responsive operations.
- Data collection strategy and infrastructure
- Remote monitoring and digital workflows
- Analytics for performance, reliability, and energy use
- Field-to-cloud integration and system visibility
Productivity & Troubleshooting
We identify the gaps, dig into root causes, and deliver actionable improvements—whether it’s efficiency, throughput, or solving chronic equipment issues.
- Energy use, throughput, and cost reduction audits
- Reliability analysis and process optimization
- Field-proven troubleshooting for persistent problems
- Benchmarking and performance improvement studies
Standards & Best Practices
We help teams operate with clarity, consistency, and compliance—developing and maintaining the critical documentation that keeps facilities running safely and effectively.
- Standards, procedures, and specifications
- Operating manuals and process safety information
- Management of Change (MOC) documentation and training materials
- Process Safety Management (PSM) / Risk Management Plan (RMP)-aligned content for audits and reviews

Process Automation & Startup
We build automation systems that don’t just run—they perform. From design to startup, we deliver control strategies that stand up to the demands of real operations.
Design & Modeling
Good automation starts with good design. We define process needs, simulate outcomes, and translate them into control requirements that hold up in the field—and under change.
- Design basis development and concept evaluation
- Steady-state and dynamic modeling for system behavior
- Control narratives and logic tied to equipment response
- Sizing, capacity, and integration support for automation planning
Automation Systems
We design smart, layered automation systems that support safe, efficient operation—built to match the complexity of the process and the needs of the people running it.
- Integrated control strategies for plantwide systems
- Safety Instrumented System (SIS) architecture and safety lifecycle support
- High-performance Human-Machine Interface (HMI) design for clarity and response
- Advanced controls for optimization, adaptability, and precision
Testing & Integration
We verify automation systems the way they’ll be used—in context, under pressure, and with tight feedback loops. From Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) to integrated testing, we confirm readiness before startup.
- Equipment and control system verification
- Integration testing with real-world process conditions
- Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)
- Loop checks, functional testing, and commissioning support
Training & Documentation
A system is only as strong as the team using it. We develop targeted training and clear documentation to support safe operations, fast troubleshooting, and knowledge retention.
- Operator and technician training on systems and controls
- Startup, deviation, and consequence-based instruction
- Process documentation for compliance and performance
- Ongoing support tools for capital projects and MOC
