Instrumentation & Control

Older generation plants are running into the obstacles of outdated equipment and harder-to-find parts for those still functioning. Technological advances have created an array of more efficient options.

Your control system and field device retrofit and assessment projects are as unique as your facilities, so you need a flexible, tailored approach. Whether you are looking for a conceptual or budgetary study, a complete control system retrofit, a PLC upgrade/migration, or a single instrument evaluation, our Instrumentation and Control group will collaborate with you to get it done.

Our experienced team works throughout the country to provide the engineering support you need to get back online, getting you through challenging checkouts/startups.
We’re passionate about keeping up with the latest instrument technology and installation methods. Because our instrument engineers work on everything from greenfield sites and plantwide instrument retrofits to single instrument replacements, they understand what works and what doesn’t in each application.
