Electrical labor supervision
Site personnel qualification
Project site coordination
Schedule management
Documentation package

Third-Party System Integration

Our certified field engineers deploy for design, testing, functional checks and communications with third party devices that monitor these site components through the Control Room:

Balance of plant on DCS
Gas turbines, steam turbines, compressors, and hydro
Generator protection & excitation systems
Turbine static starters

Design and Installation Services

Installation and startup of a new control & software project can challenge our customers without the support of trained professionals. Our Field Services will partner with you through the entire process to achieve safe, high-quality installation, commissioning, acceptance testing and start-up of your critical assets.

HMI Upgrades

Our Human-Machine Interface (HMI) boosts efficiency, control system productivity, and unit performance. HMIs offer a window into your operations, with intelligence operators and maintenance technicians ready to maintain and improve your plant assets’ productivity.

We offer a variety of HMI hardware options to meet your specific needs, such as conventional commercial towers, rack mounted servers (2u), industrial servers (4u), and HMIs directly mounted onto the control systems’ panel.
