Conception and design

02

Operation and maintenance

03

Asset integrity and performance

Services

Engineering and consulting services

Our services are organised into four lines that support the asset from design to operation: engineering, simulation, integrity and project services.

Modelo 3D de tuberías y equipos de una planta industrial

Engineering

We carry out conceptual, basic and detailed engineering across all disciplines and handle permitting, in both greenfield and brownfield projects.

Proprietary technology

Digital twins

A simulation model and the operating data of a piece of equipment, combined to track its condition in real time, anticipate failures and estimate its remaining life. We apply it to critical equipment with SimulTWIN, our real-time simulation platform.
