OUR APPROACH
PHASE 2: DESIGN
Study Options and Design Solutions
The Design Phase takes our understanding of the processes along with the recommendations and creates a tangible product that provides valuable understanding and/or a direct path to implementation. Some studies are free and result in a proposal to immediately implement a solution. However, some opportunities require more significant analysis and design to deliver a proven project.
Our staff and network of professional engineers and consultants complete these engineering studies and designs. They range from less than a week for a basic analysis to weeks or months for more complex projects. Our goal is to quickly provide definitive answers to key questions and designs that are guaranteed to work.
Selected custom studies and design solutions we provide:
- Water/wastewater operation optimization studies
- SCADA (Control) system design and configuration
- SCADA system optimization study
- Maintenance management workflow study
- Specific energy system studies and designs (compressed air, pumps, boiler and steam, cogeneration, refrigeration, industrial gases, furnaces, etc)
- Electrical engineering design
- Wireless network design and path studies
- Asset lifecycle cost study
- Power distribution system design
- Control panel fabrication design
- Power system analysis
- Emergency, standby and optional power systems design
- IT system strategic plan
- Custom software requirements study
Example results from prior Design Phase work:
- A professional SCADA system design that resulted in $50,000 in client savings from competitive bidding
- An Radio Frequency (RF) Path study that gave our client a low cost feasible option for telemetry in rugged mountainous terrain
- Custom software requirements study that created an alternative approach that saved our client over $60,000 compared to their other proposed solution
