Initial Project Planning to establish project goals, budgets, construction approach, and implementation schedules.  This process can include project cost/benefit analysis, conceptual and planning studies to determine the most economical solution, and construction phasing studies to minimize production downtime.

Project Management Services, including design management and coordination, project scheduling, budget monitoring, equipment procurement support and material requisitioning, building permitting support, assistance with construction bidding, evaluation and award,

Engineered Construction Bid Packages consisting of electrical, controls, and instrumentation drawings and specifications.  In addition, related mechanical, civil, or structural engineering documents can be developed by our prequalified subconsultants and integrated into a cohesive, comprehensive construction bid package.  All drawings are produced using customized CAD software.

Field Services including construction support, start-up, and training services.  These services can cover equipment, material, and instrument submittal reviews, factory checkout, witness testing and acceptance, and construction technical observation and support.  Electrical and control system start-up services can be provided as well, including system checkout and commissioning support services such as wiring verification, equipment testing and troubleshooting, control system loop tuning and optimization, and personnel training.
