Midstream’s Mechanical Engineering and Design group strives to deliver smart plans for reliable and cost-effective solutions that go beyond just meeting a functional objective. In addition, Midstream understands that successful designs are the ones that play well with facility operators and technicians and are built for the potential of the future.
Our Services
Controls Engineering
Call on Midstream’s Electrical and Controls team to energize your project and automate your process. The team develops custom streamlined power and control solutions that offer cost efficient reliability and ease of operations.
Estimating
Midstream specialists can identify, define, and document a project scope of work and aid in budget development/estimating, facilitate contractor bid solicitation, and consult on contractor evaluation and selection.
Commissioning
Midstream creates streamlined custom solutions for your automation logic needs including HMI status and commands, interlocks, permissives, and process sequencing. Midstream has field technicians ready to deploy for remote support, field testing, cutover planning, and commissioning.
Modeling
Often the first step in design, our 3d Laser Scanning offers accuracy as fine as one eighth of an inch. The resulting “point-cloud” can be utilized as-is for “virtual tour” like walk-throughs and measurements, but the power of this hi-tech really shines when a project’s existing facilities, demo work, and new facilities are all 3d modeled. There is nothing like seeing the final product before the project starts.
Integration Services
Midstream’s Automation team is versed in Allen Bradley PLC hardware, Remote I/Os, TopTech terminal solutions, fiber optics, Modbus, ethernet, and a number of legacy and proprietary system integrations. If it can take a command or send a status, we’ll either make it work or have a more cost efficient solution.
Management
We can run the day to day from the early phase of procurement, expediting, permitting, scheduling, and mobilization logistics to final project documentation “Job Book” delivery. Once on-site our field associates can serve project needs through the execution phase including quality, cost, and change management and project documentation management including QA/QC, on-site progress reporting, and much more.
Asset Tagging
Accurate, clear to understand and logically organized P&IDs are a cornerstone of any facilities process documentation. “As-Built” documentation is key for streamlined operational success and future project fast-tracking. Midstream can update your existing P&IDs, or develop new for undocumented facilities by conducting a site visit and/or 3D laser scan/model.
Inspections
Regulatory compliance is often a bear. DOT regulation and jurisdiction, Right-of-Way inspection, pipeline inspection, station inspections and more. Midstream can help keep you compliant by conducting audit style inspections that offer more than a pass/fail status and go beyond mere compliance to the lowest applicable standard. Midstream can provide real actionable insight into your assets in the field.
