Five Deliverables

Five disciplines. Five China deliverables.

The five brownfield digital engineering practices applied across Yangtze River petrochem, Tianjin and Caofeidian heavy industry, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and Chinese port infrastructure.

Discipline 01
Power System Studies
Load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, arc flash per GB 50054 + IEC 60909 + IEEE 1584. State Grid interconnection methodology where engagement touches grid infrastructure.
Discipline 02
3D LiDAR Scanning
Leica RTC 360 brownfield asset capture across Yangtze petchem complexes, Chinese pharmaceutical campuses, and Tianjin heavy industry. Digital twin handover ready.
Discipline 03
As-Built Engineering
P&ID, SLDs, isometric drawings per GB and ISO 5455 conventions. Mandarin Chinese-English bilingual sheet borders where regulator extracts require.
Discipline 04
Discrete Event Simulation
FlexSim, AnyLogic. Throughput optimisation across Shanghai, Ningbo-Zhoushan, Shenzhen and Tianjin port operations, and Chinese manufacturing process flows.
Discipline 05
Risk + Safety + AMC
HAZOP, LOPA, QRA, SIL per IEC 61511. Chinese AQSIQ safety overlay. 5-year arc flash recertification AMC retainer for multinational anchor accounts.
China Footprint
