Instrumentation & control engineering

Field instrumentation and control engineering from concept to commissioning.

Instrumentation & control engineering
Overview

We specify, design, and document the instrumentation and control logic that turns raw process signals into dependable control. From P&IDs and loop drawings to functional specifications and SIL support, our engineering work gives your project a clear, buildable foundation — and your operators a system that behaves predictably under every condition.

Capabilities

What we deliver within instrumentation & control engineering.

01

Field instrument specification

Selection and datasheets for flow, pressure, level, temperature, and analytical instruments.

02

P&ID development

Process and instrumentation diagrams that capture scope, control, and interlocks clearly.

03

Control loop design & tuning

Loop architecture, cascade and feedforward strategies, and stable controller tuning.

04

Instrumentation loop drawings

Detailed loop drawings and wiring schedules ready for construction.

05

Functional design specifications

Control narratives and cause-and-effect matrices that define system behaviour.

06

SIL assessment support

Functional safety input aligned with your SIS and SIL targets.
