CONTROLS
Providing design, integration, and start up services for fully integrated and interoperable enterprise-level control platforms.
Understanding the processes being controlled and designing the right solution to meet the client’s desired system performance is the foundational objective of our controls engineering teams.
We provide comprehensive solutions from control system design through programming and startup, and routinely work with process engineers, contractors and owners to help deliver successful projects. The controls team understands the disparate system types found in many operational facilities, and designs and commissions fully integrated and interoperable enterprise-level control platforms.

Control System Design and Control Panel Construction & Testing Under One Roof
The Controls Team works closely with DCE Solutions, DC Engineering’s subsidiary that builds and tests control panels, as well as providing other hardware solutions. Alignment between these teams enables 2 important factors: (1) panels are actually built based on control system design, and (2) panels are configured and tested before the arrive on the job site.
"Our partnership with DC Engineering has proven invaluable through their development and implementation of our facility wide SCADA system. They have drawn all systems under a single umbrella for data acquisition, control, remote services, and more. The ability to access, monitor, and control from virtually anywhere is very useful to us."
