Brownfield power studies, 3D LiDAR scanning, P&ID and as-built engineering, discrete event simulation, and risk and safety. Multi-discipline engineering practice with in-house Chartered Engineers, twelve years of plant-floor work across 21 countries.
Load flow, short circuit, arc flash, protection, transient, harmonics. Focus: DC arc flash for solar plants. On ETAP, DigSILENT, PSCAD, SKM PTW, Cyme.
Leica RTC 360 owned and operated in-house. Plant-grade point clouds. Scan-to-BIM, scan-to-twin.
P&ID, isometric, general arrangement, process drawings. LiDAR-powered, productized.
Manufacturing, port throughput, mining handling, healthcare flow, airport simulation. On FlexSim, AnyLogic, Simio.
HAZOP, QRA, LOPA, SIL verification, electrical safety audits. Plus the 5-year NFPA arc flash recertification retainer.
1,000+ studies delivered across 8 industries. A refinery's power system fights ignition risk in hazardous zones. A steel plant fights EAF harmonics and DC arcs. A data centre fights Tier IV redundancy. We tune the study, the standard, and the deliverable to your industry's real battle. Not a textbook one line.
Ignition-sensitive zones. HV motors in IEC 60079 hazardous areas. Arc flash labels are mandatory on every MCC.
Grid code & generator stability. Thermal, hydro, wind, solar. Every generator needs fault ride through and protection coordination proof.
EAF harmonics & flicker. Arc furnace loads, DC drives, mill stands. Harmonics distort, capacitors fail, motors overheat.
GMP power continuity. Clean-room loads, HVAC redundancy, batch-critical reliability. One voltage dip kills a $2M batch.
Tier III/IV redundancy. 2N UPS, ATS coordination, battery rooms. Five-nines uptime needs DC arc flash done right.
Long HV feeders, voltage stability. Remote substations, mobile mining equipment, weak grids. Every kilometre amplifies the fault.
Crane regenerative loads. STS cranes inject reactive power back. Shore power, harmonic compensation, container terminal reliability.
DC arc flash & inverter studies. String DC voltages, inverter clusters, grid-connection compliance. NFPA 70E Annex D mandatory.
Refinery, steel, data centre, pharma, mining, ports, power gen, or solar. Share your plant nameplate data and we'll return a vertical specific scope, a base model template, and a Chartered Engineer signed deliverable plan within 5 working days.
Interactive 3D scenes of the asset types we engineer. Refinery and petrochem plants. Power substations and transmission. Steel and heavy manufacturing. Each scene auto-rotates so you can inspect the engineering geometry from every angle.
Distillation columns, storage spheres, cooling towers, heat exchangers, pumps, piping with valves and elbows. Where arc flash, HAZOP, P&ID and LiDAR converge.
Conveyor lines, robotic arms, packaging stations, AGV paths, storage racks. We design the floor plan, simulate the flow, and optimize the throughput before steel hits the ground.
Blast furnace structure, casting machines, conveyors, overhead cranes, rolling mill stands, utility piping, control rooms. Discrete event simulation and electrical safety.
Capacity, throughput, queue length, OEE. Every floor plan is a hypothesis until you simulate it. We model your operation as a discrete event simulation. Every conveyor, queue, AGV, operator, machine. Capex decisions get tested in software before steel hits the ground. Built in-house by our simulation engineers on the platforms we license.
Packaging lines, palletizing, batch flow. Bottleneck identification at filler, capper, labeller. OEE lift before you spec the next line.
Passenger flow, baggage handling, gate utilization. Peak-hour queue modelling at check-in, security, immigration, boarding. Baggage system throughput.
Clean room flow, batch sequencing, QC bottleneck. GMP-compliant scenario testing. Batch cycle time reduction. Equipment utilization in vial fill-finish, oral solid dose.
Hot metal logistics, ladle scheduling, caster cycles. EAF tap-to-tap optimization. Mill stand utilization. Rolling mill bottleneck simulation.
Berth-to-yard flow, crane productivity, truck cycles. Vessel turnaround, yard crane allocation, gate congestion. Container terminal throughput modelling.
Patient flow, OR utilization, ED throughput. Bed turnaround, diagnostic queues, theatre scheduling. Capacity planning for new hospital builds.
Send us your floor plan, takt time targets, and current bottleneck. We return a calibrated discrete event simulation model with scenario testing for 3 capacity options. Typically 15 to 30 percent throughput lift identified before you commit to capex.
Leica RTC 360 captures the brownfield plant at survey grade accuracy in a single shift. The point cloud becomes the source of truth for every drawing, retrofit, clash check, and digital twin we deliver downstream. Six plant problems we solve. Six representative engagements. One source of truth forever.
Live unit scanned during normal operations. Pipe rack and utility area rebuilt as model for new tie-in design.
Existing mill scanned during planned outage. New stand foundation and drive layout validated before fab.
Clean room and utility module scanned. Floor flatness report delivered for regulatory audit cycle.
Loading arms and gantry scanned from safe distance. No entry, no scaffold. Reverse-engineered for retrofit.
Live switchyard scanned for new transformer bay. Clearances and cable trench routing verified pre-install.
Line section scanned during scheduled break. New robot cell CAD validated against as-built before retool.
Plants up to 100,000 m² captured in a single mobilization. We hand back registered point clouds in LAS or E57 format, as-built CAD, BIM models, clash reports, and survey grade reality data. Ready to feed every retrofit, audit, and digital twin handover that comes next.
Four pillars that define every project we deliver.
Every deliverable cites the standard it was built to. NFPA. IEEE. IEC. AS/NZS. IS. ASME. Aramco SAES. ADNOC HSE.
Every assumption documented. Every calculation traceable. Internal review. Deliverables that survive audit on first pass.
We solve the brownfield problem in front of us. Outdated drawings. Inadequate protection. Bottleneck flow. Every engagement is bespoke.
Five integrated engineering practices. Multi-discipline coordination across electrical, mechanical, process, instrumentation, civil.
In-house Chartered Engineers across electrical, mechanical, process, instrumentation, and civil disciplines.
Leica RTC 360 scanners owned and operated in-house. Plant-grade point clouds captured by VB engineers.
