E&I Contracting services specializing in Oil & Gas, Refinery, Petrochemicals, Power Plants and other Industrial E&I, Communications, Instrumentation, Power, and Control systems, program the PLC/DCS, and optimize the systems to improve overall plant reliability.
Our expertise also includes plant shutdowns, turnarounds, comprehensive startup & commissioning services with the complete Client’s documentation package and specifications. We leverage our knowledge and experience to offer problem solving solutions in a safe, timely, and cost effective manner.
E&I subcontractor service electrical and instrumentation encompasses the basic of design, construct and install electrical power equipment, process equipment & controls, provide instrumentation installation & calibration, integrate communications of multiple processes, and conduct start up & commissioning. Specific experience in the following areas:
All instrument installations are performed by either EPC Contractors or E&I packaged Engineers/Technicians. All of our Technicians strive to have a complete understanding of our customer’s processes. We provide initial installation and set up, field testing, calibration & configuration, documentation and data sheets for all of our instrument installed including SIS.
Our documentation package includes:
This complete data package aids the customer’s maintenance department by reducing downtime and increasing the reliability of the overall instrumentation and control system. The fully documented system allows for fast trouble shooting, quick replacements, and on-the-fly changes.
The linked instrument index also integrates our construction progress tracking, by consolidating our tracking and documentation process into one, facilitating a completed construction project to be ready for PSSR’s, start-up and commissioning activities without delay.
Startup, commissioning and third party testing on systems constructed by others. Our expertise includes:
Start-up & Commissioning crews are qualified technicians with a maintenance background. Our goal in commissioning is to try and find any omissions or errors that may have been overlooked during the he construction phase. This is accomplished via P&ID walk downs. The P&ID review will address fundamental engineering and operations validation as well as maintenance issues. Instrument location and serviceability will be reviewed and any potential reliability improvements will be highlighted to our Clients.
We provide solutions and alternatives to the engineers. This cuts down on total commissioning timeframe and project lifecycle.
Our Technical Authority and CMS can provide a full documentation package of FPSO, FSO, FPU, FSRU, and Drilling Rigs for Start-up and Commissioning. When doing retrofits without existing documentation we can consider for the reversed engineering methodology. Our documentation is driven by tag number rather than print number. P&ID's, loop diagrams, data sheets, installation details, conduit schedule, instrument location drawings, cable schedule and any other drawing can be linked from the Excel version of the Instrument Index. Tag numbers are the significant identifier of all systems and have become the industry standard for instrumentation & control systems. Our E&I services provides documentation in a simple excel and PDF format which is easy to navigate and saves time during construction, startup and maintenance activities.
We understand that the ultimate need for a business network is to capture information and provide useful data. The key to our success is that we understand the need to get historical data and statistical information in a usable format so the plant managers can run the facility efficiently. Our Engineers looks at the electrical, instrumentation, and control systems as a whole. Our networking team is experienced in commercial and business networks as well as industrial networks.
Our programmers and technicians are well versed in multiple platforms of DCS and can program, maintain, and implement most PLCs including:
Our E&I control systems Contractor have strong electrical and instrumentation backgrounds. They understand both theory and application in the field and in control systems implementation. The total design cycle is approached with an eye not only toward constructability, but also toward maintainability and reliability. We understand that a good clear channel is the essential ingredient to reliable communications platforms. That’s why Our E&I team of programmers and technicians were originally trained as installers and gained valuable experience on startup crews and commissioning crews.
Our E&I technical authority understands the importance of cabling installation and bus integrity from beginning to end. Our E&I team of programmers and technicians are well trained in multiple communication platforms including
Our E&I Contractor/Yard supervised sub-contractors strive to minimize downtime for the customer. We have conducted turnarounds as short or as long as your process requires. We will do as much pre-work as possible to limit actual downtime from an electrical, communications, instrumentation, and controls standpoint. We work closely with the mechanical contractor to plan and coordinate the turnaround activities so that we are complimenting, rather than stumbling over or waiting for each other. It is not uncommon to have conduit systems, cable tray systems, communication networks and instrumentation backbones completely pre-built and ready for final placement prior to the turnaround.
We are experienced in shutdowns and turnarounds in the following areas
Our E&I Contractor/Sub-Contractors are willing to carry out at retrofitting new equipment into existing applications. We are experienced at working within the confines of existing facilities and the space constraints that may be imposed. Our technicians are trained and qualified for working in confined spaces. We can do custom builds and have fast track capability for MCC’s and distribution panel boards. In an emergency turnaround situation, Our E&I Supervisors with their Sub-contractors will do whatever is necessary to get the plant up and running in the least amount of time while complying with all safety standards.
