Process Design and Mechanical Engineering
We do not just automate: we design the whole process. From P&IDs to piping isometrics, and everything in between — hydraulic calculations, material selection, qualified welding (WPS/PQR) and mechanical erection supervision in the field. We tie the mechanical engineering to the electrical and control engineering so everything works as one system.
The scope of our engineering
Process P&IDs
A complete representation of the process with instrumentation, valves, equipment and connecting lines. The basis for everything designed afterward.
Piping design and isometrics
Pipe routing, isometrics for fabrication, supports and stress calculations. Materials chosen for the fluid and the service conditions.
Hydraulic calculations
Line sizing, head losses and pump selection against the system curve, NPSH and operating conditions.
Material selection
Carbon steel, stainless steel, PVC, CPVC, HDPE — we select for chemical compatibility, temperature, pressure and the applicable code.
Qualified welding
Qualified procedures (WPS/PQR), certified welders, visual inspection and non-destructive testing when the project calls for it.
Erection supervision
On-site presence during mechanical erection. Verification of alignment, torque values, supports and hydrostatic testing.
As-built documentation
Final updated drawings and a quality dossier with material certificates, welding records and test protocols.
Engineering and erection
Three steps and typical lead times
Lead times depend on the size of the process; these are typical for a pumping system or a mid-sized process line.
- 01 Typical time 1–2 weeks
Survey and design basis
A plant visit, fluid and operating data, space constraints and the code that applies to the project.
- 02 Typical time 2–6 weeks
P&IDs, calculations and isometrics
P&IDs, hydraulic calculations, pipe routing, isometrics and a bill of materials for approval.
- 03 Typical time Per site schedule
Fabrication and erection supervision
Welding to qualified procedures, field supervision, hydrostatic testing and an as-built dossier at closeout.
In treatment plants, process design goes hand in hand with wastewater treatment plant automation in Panama.
If the system can arrive prefabricated, see our pump skids.
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 do the engineering only, without execution?
Q02 Which piping materials do you work with?
Q03 Is the welding qualified?
Do you need process engineering for your project?
From the P&ID through commissioning — a single team accountable for the mechanical and process engineering.
