Applied Engineering
Electrical design, P&IDs and signed technical studies — with or without execution. We deliver the engineering package ready to bid out, build or use for a feasibility review.
What we design
Electrical engineering
- Single-line diagrams (MV / LV)
- Power, control and interlock diagrams
- Short-circuit calculations and protection coordination
- Selectivity and load flow studies
- Bill of materials (BOM) with Danfoss / Siemens equivalents
Process engineering
- P&IDs per ISA-5.1
- Piping isometrics and line lists
- Hydraulic calculations, NPSH and pump selection
- Mass and energy balances
- Process instrumentation specification
Power quality
- On-site measurements per IEEE 519-2022 / EN 50160
- Analysis of harmonics, flicker, unbalance and sags/swells
- K-factor for transformer sizing
- Specification of Danfoss AAF / AHF harmonic filters
- Signed, traceable technical report
Technical equipment selection
- Sizing of variable frequency drives (VFDs), motors and starters
- Selection of Samson valves and LESER safety relief valves (VALVESTAR)
- Instrumentation selection (level, pressure, temperature, flow)
- Technical and economic comparisons between alternatives
- Datasheets and specifications for the bid package
How we work
Kick-off
Kick-off meeting, collection of existing information and documented scope.
Basic engineering
Design criteria, control philosophy and preliminary datasheets for approval.
Detailed engineering
Signed diagrams, calculations, BOM and drawings issued for construction (IFC) or bidding.
Handover and support
Joint review, responses to client or contractor comments and documentation close-out.
What you receive at close-out
- Diagrams signed by the engineer of record
- Calculation report with traceability to the applicable standards
- Bill of materials (BOM) with specific brands and models
- Technical datasheets for each item of equipment
- Drawings in editable DWG / PDF
- Responses to comments during the bidding process
When to hire stand-alone engineering
EPC bids
Clients who bid out execution separately and need a signed, traceable engineering package for the construction phase.
Expansions with an outside contractor
When another contractor performs the work but the client wants the technical assurance of an independent engineer doing the sizing.
Pre-engineering and feasibility
Before approving CAPEX: load study, power quality analysis, preliminary sizing and a realistic budget.
Three steps and typical lead times
Lead times depend on the scope; these are typical for the engineering package of a station or a process line.
- 01 Typical time 1–2 weeks
Survey and design basis
A plant visit, loads, service entrance and process data, and agreement on scope and deliverables.
- 02 Typical time 2–6 weeks
Detailed engineering
Single-line diagrams, control drawings, P&IDs, calculations and equipment specifications, with interim reviews with your team.
- 03 Typical time 1 week
Issued for construction
Drawings and calculation reports signed by the engineer of record, issued to bid out or build.
If the design ends in panels, we build those too: see our electrical and control panels in Panama.
If you would rather we execute the whole project, see our turnkey industrial automation.
If the plant is already running and needs measuring before design, the starting point is a power quality study.
What clients ask before we start
Short answers to the questions that usually come up in the first technical conversation. Exact lead times are confirmed in the proposal.
Q01 Can you deliver the engineering only, without executing the project?
Q02 Are the drawings signed?
Q03 Do you include harmonic studies?
Do you need engineering ready to bid or build?
