A team of experts for your new build and retrofit projects
Rely on a knowledgeable partner that supports you from conceptual design to commissioning services
With the worldwide demand for energy rising, the industry has seen a steady decline in the numbers of new recruits. Until recently, the situation was manageable. However, over the last decade you have noticed a risk of serious shortages in engineers and technically skilled employees. The increasing global demand and the large number of the industry’s workforce rapidly approaching retirement are large contributors to this. Such shortages are felt at all professional levels in a power plant.

The challenge of simplifying global-local projects
EPC projects are becoming more international. Owners and contractors have to coordinate power projects in countries where they may not have a presence, and sometimes in remote locations. Projects have to comply with national legislation and varying environmental requirements, while sourcing is international. Global organizations have their own complexities, and achieving simplicity is key in reducing costs.

Finding expert people and products to overcome skill gaps
After the power plant is built, the expertise to run and maintain the plant in all its detail must be found. Finding the right people in-house can be difficult, and recruiting locally, where the right people may be few on the ground, can be challenging. Outsourcing maintenance services may be beneficial, but it can also bring frustrations such as no replacement of retired personnel, leading to loss of knowledge and a lack of on-site dedicated specialists.
Our expertise in the field
If you decide to go down the outsourcing road, we have an international network of skilled service engineers on hand, for the long-term. These experts in instrumentation can provide the level of service you need, wherever your power plant is located. If you take the in-house option, we make things easy for you with our range of intelligent equipment that makes commissioning and replacement simple. Our Heartbeat Technology provides easy-to-use sensors for advanced process diagnostics.
