Services
Electrical Engineering
Our electrical engineering team specializes in power generation and distribution systems for remote locations. We design 480V-13.8kV systems including gas turbine generators, black start systems, and arc flash mitigation solutions. Using EasyPower software, we perform electrical studies that meet IEEE 1584-2018 standards while ensuring compliance with NEC and NESC requirements. Our engineers deliver cost-effective designs for both new facilities and system upgrades.
Corrosion Protection
We provide NACE-certified cathodic protection systems for pipelines, tanks, and marine structures. Our services include galvanic and impressed current system design, internal/external tank protection, and clarifier CP solutions. With CP4-certified engineers, we ensure compliance with federal regulations while extending asset lifespan through tailored coating systems and regular inspection protocols.
Project Management
Our project management services cover full lifecycle execution from feasibility studies to commissioning. We implement earned value management and quality assurance plans while maintaining strict adherence to project scope, budget, and schedule. Our team provides construction management, field engineering support, and as-built documentation for complex remote projects requiring specialized logistical planning.
Mechanical Engineering
We design mechanical systems for extreme climates including HVAC, process piping, and energy recovery solutions. Our engineers perform pipe stress analysis, equipment selection, and freeze protection engineering tailored to Alaska's conditions. Services include hydronic system design, hazardous location HVAC, and process optimization for industrial facilities requiring reliable year-round operation.
API Inspections
Our certified technicians perform API 653 tank inspections and STI inspections for aboveground storage tanks. We combine in-house engineering expertise with field data collection to assess structural integrity, coating condition, and regulatory compliance. Our inspection services support integrity management plans and regulatory audits for oil & gas, mining, and utility clients.
