A company's engineering standards and specifications are fundamental to the safety, reliability, operability, maintenance, and cost effectiveness of its process plants. Unfortunately, maintenance and updating of engineering standards is often neglected.
Maintaining, revising, and writing new engineering standards is not glamorous nor "high tech" work, but it is necessary, especially in these times of lower manpower and average experience levels of company engineering staff and increased regulatory attention.
Carmagen Engineering, Inc. can assist in this area by focusing on the standards and not being distracted by the other demands that a client's engineering staff must deal with. Our approach is to learn as much as possible about the client's needs and engineering design philosophy, develop drafts of the appropriate revisions or new standards, and discuss these with the client's engineering staff until final agreement is reached. We do not replace client staff in this important function, but relieve them of most of the burden. They can focus only on information transfer and review without the burden of checking for consistency, compliance with industry standards, and production.
We don't put entry-level individuals to work on a client's standards and specifications to learn the business. Our engineers have many years of experience in various phases of plant design and operation, and they apply to each assignment a broad range of industry know-how and specific expertise in the preparation of engineering standards and specifications. Your plant will benefit from our help in this area, both operationally and business-wise.
