Electrical, Control and Instrumentation Engineering

Our engineers have the required expertise to deliver electrical, instrumentation, control and automation systems for either a new process or to integrate into an existing one, across a wide range of sectors each of which may have its own niche requirements.

Our engineers work flexibly with clients, either integrating seamlessly as part of a client project team or independently from our head office.

Here is a list of our capabilities:

• Feasibility and Front-End Design Studies.
• Site surveys of:
  • Electrical and control systems, installations and power generation schemes.
  • Control and instrumentation architecture.
• Preparation of estimates, both budgetary and detailed.
• Equipment specification, detailed design, construction and commissioning.

• Familiarity with all major instrument, control system and fieldbus technology vendors.

• Site supervision and management of sub-contractor’s executing electrical/control installations.

• Factory Acceptance Testing (FATs) and Site Acceptance Testing (SATs).
• Participation in a range of process safety studies including:
  • HAZOPS
  • Hazardous area classification
  • Specification of instrumentation based on explosive atmospheres (ATEX/DSEAR)
  • LOPA
  • SIL design/verification and functional safety to comply with IEC61508/IEC61511. We can either carry out a GAP analysis on existing systems or design of new installations from scratch.
• Philosophies for:
  • ECIA systems
  • User Requirements Specification (URS)
  • Functional Design Specification (FDS)
  • UPS
• Programmable Controllers (PLC’s) application software.
• Control system architecture.
• Industrial field bus and remote input /output systems applications.
• Trip and interlock schedules.
• Distributed Control Systems (DCS), and Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA), systems configuration.
• Electrical schematics & instrument loop diagrams.
• Power distribution, panel differentiation, cable sizing.
• Design, protection and implementation of HV, MV and LV electrical distribution equipment.
• Detailed design of control panels and ASTA certified Motor Control Centres complete with protection requirements.
• Design of earthing and lightning protection schemes plus lighting design.
• Engineering and design of surface heating.
• Retrofitting and replacing control systems on existing manufacturing lines.
