SERVICES AND SUPPORT
Engineered Solutions
Every facility has unique challenges, and that is where engineered solutions make the difference. Instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all product, we take the time to understand your process conditions, safety requirements, and long-term maintenance goals. Our engineers map out drawings, material lists, and specifications that fit the way you operate. From control panels to instrumentation packages, we handle the details that keep a project moving: approvals, testing, documentation, and startup support. Access to proven manufacturers and a strong supply chain means fewer delays and a better fit. Whether it is a simple skid package or a complex multi-system integration, our focus is practical design that installs smoothly, performs reliably, and holds up for years of service in demanding environments.
Automation & SCADA Programming
Reliable automation does not come from copying code; it comes from listening to operators and building systems that match plant operations. Our programmers create PLC, HMI, and SCADA solutions that keep plants running safely and efficiently. That means clean logic, organized tags, easy-to-read screens, and backups you can trust. We also tackle migrations from outdated platforms, helping you modernize without endless downtime. Communication protocols such as Modbus, EtherNet/IP, Profibus, and OPC UA are second nature to our team. We know the quirks and how to make them work together. Whether it is a single machine controller or a plant-wide SCADA network, we deliver code and graphics that operators actually understand. The goal is confidence that your system will run every shift, every day.
Instrument Service & Repair
Instruments are the eyes and ears of your operation, and when they fail, you lose trust in your data. That is why our service technicians focus on quick, reliable repairs and calibrations. We work both in the field and in-shop, handling transmitters, gauges, switches, recorders, and more. Every job comes with traceable reports so you know what was adjusted, replaced, or restored. Our crews do not just swap parts; they also check installation, wiring, and impulse lines to catch root causes. If audits or compliance records are a concern, we maintain schedules and documentation so you are ready when inspectors arrive. With access to replacement inventory and years of hands-on experience, we help you keep accurate readings and dependable control without costly surprises.
Inventory & Materials Management
Downtime often starts with missing parts. Our inventory and materials management programs are designed to prevent that problem before it happens. We review your usage patterns, critical spares, and lead times, then build stocking plans that balance cost with availability. Options include vendor-managed inventory, on-site cribs, kitting for turnarounds, and consigned stock to fit the way your team works. Regional warehouses keep depth on items like valves, instruments, actuators, and fittings so crews do not waste time waiting. Reports show stockouts, slow movers, and overall spend, making planning easier for everyone. When outages or projects come up, we pre-stage kits and track replenishment daily. The result is fewer surprises, shorter downtime, and more confidence that the right part is always within reach.
Product Specialism
Choosing the right product is not always about price; it is about knowing which option will last in your process conditions. That is where our product specialists step in. They understand materials, ratings, certifications, and sizing details that matter when reliability is on the line. Instead of handing you a catalog, they ask the right questions and then recommend parts that fit the first time. Specialists also help with drawings, submittals, and documentation to keep projects moving without delays. If something is on backorder, they know suitable alternatives that meet standards. With access to leading manufacturers and a broad inventory, they bridge the gap between technical knowledge and availability. Their support helps prevent costly misapplications and keeps projects and MRO work on track.
Steam Trap Surveys
Steam traps may be small, but when they fail, the losses add up quickly. Our steam trap surveys are designed to pinpoint exactly where energy, dollars, and reliability are being lost. Technicians walk your system, test traps, record conditions, and note whether each is working, failed open, or failed closed. We also check surrounding piping, insulation, and condensate return health. The result is a report that lists every trap, its status, estimated steam loss, and recommended action. You will see where repairs pay back fastest and which issues are most critical for safety. Beyond the survey, we can supply replacements, repair kits, and installation support. The goal is simple: reduce waste, recover capacity, and keep your steam system safe and efficient.
Technical Services
Sometimes what you need is not a product at all; it is experienced eyes on a problem. Our technical services team steps in when operations get stuck or reliability slips. We handle troubleshooting, commissioning, loop checks, burner management reviews, and site surveys. Every visit ends with clear documentation: findings, priorities, and next steps. That way, your crew knows exactly what to fix and why. We also help during turnarounds and startups, verifying interlocks, tuning loops, and backing up programs before equipment goes online. If you are chasing nuisance alarms, hidden leaks, or unexplained trips, we dig into the details until the cause is clear. With practical experience across industries, our team provides steady, informed support to keep your operation safe and dependable.
Valve Automation
An automated valve is not just an actuator bolted to a body; it is an engineered assembly that must fit your process. We provide complete valve automation packages including actuators, brackets, limit switches, solenoids, and positioners. Before anything is built, torque and material requirements are verified against service conditions such as corrosive fluids, hazardous areas, or high cycle demands. Assemblies are mounted, stroked, and tested so they arrive ready to install. Documentation includes drawings, torque sheets, and wiring details for easy hookup. If you need support in the field, our technicians handle commissioning, troubleshooting, and operator training. With strong manufacturer partnerships and stocked inventory, we can meet tight timelines without sacrificing quality. The outcome is dependable automation that makes maintenance easier and operation safer.
