Our approach to providing digital upgrade engineering services is based on over 30 years of experience and working with a variety of vendors. We can prepare comparative analyses of digital systems to evaluate equipment options considering costs and functionality as well as create digital system conceptual design reports that determine funding costs and equipment specificity for the hardware system specification. Other services include hardware and functional specifications for the procurement of the digital control system. For modification work, we prepare full scope design change packages including installation of the replacement system.

We offer engineer-procure and engineer-procure-construct bid support, developer support, and power purchaser support for competitive power project bids. In private power project competitive bidding processes, we can work on behalf of a bidding project sponsor or for the power purchaser who is securing power supplies from a private power organization.

For Motor Operated Valves (MOV), Air Operated Valves (AOV), Solenoid Operated Valves (SOV), and Check Valves, we can provide the following engineering and maintenance related support services:

• Engineering studies, application reviews, and assessments to support power operated valve modifications
• Formal calculations in accordance with industry and regulatory guidance, station procedures, and QA requirements
• Review of vendor submittals, including drawings, calculations, valve/actuator data sheets, etc.
• Vendor functional testing review and acceptance support
• Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) support
• Vendor functional and post modification testing and acceptance
• Diagnostic test trace interpretation and onsite technical field support
• Training support
