This involves the Design of the new Control Software and Electrical Panel and Field Wiring aspects of the project and because of our process knowledge we were able to assist with the complete design in order to come up with best overall solution for the client.

ABM were approached by our clients to help them design a new plant, which had been developed at the laboratory stage, up into a Functional Full Size Production Unit.

This design includes all aspects of the project including, Civils, Process & Services Pipework, Panel & Field Wiring, Equipment Specification, Control System and Project Management of the whole installation.

This plant has also been designed to allow the client to optimise the process during the testing phase to ensure that the client is able to maximise the benefits derived from this new unique development.
