Unified Telecommunications, Digitalisation & Systems Integration

In today’s modern plant facilities and accommodation, effective and reliable security and communications is vital. Our solutions provide active, secure and targeted results that optimise plant processes and operations, increase productivity and maintain a secure and well-monitored job site.

Our single point management of the complex interface removes the costs associated with unnecessary oversight. Our service delivers built-in end user training ensuring that your teams can operate telecoms and security solutions with maximum efficiency, cutting operation costs, maximising profits and improving safety.

We work closely with leading system suppliers and integrators to execute specialist projects which typically include the following:

Information Communication Technology (ICT):

Voice and Data
Wide Area Network (WAN) / Local Area Network (LAN)
Wireless LAN
IP Telephony
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
Systems Security / Cybersecurity

Radio Frequency (RF):

Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Tetra Radio
Very-High Frequency (VHF) Tetra Radio
WIFI
Telemetry systems
Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) systems

Life Safety & Security:

Access control systems
Digital ID & badging systems
Queue management
Closed-circuit television (CCTV)
Intrusion detection
Public address / general alarm (PAGA)
H2S detection and fire & gas interface systems
Specialised & automated area lighting
GPS tracking

Infrastructure & Lifestyle:

Fibre optic cabling
Structured cabling
Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
Equipment cabinet design & assembly
HVAC & building management systems
Human factors & ergonomics assessment
Audio-Visual & IPTV systems

Water Systems & Wastewater Treatment Facilities

Our water, storage and distribution solutions are supplier-independent, which means we’re able to customise a solution to match our customers specific needs and budget that typically includes:

Facility location
Required minimum design life of the facility
Operating and maintenance costs
Local environmental requirements and regulations
Facility operational turndown
Facility expansion plans and phased occupancy
Project schedule

Our solutions cover modular and stick build from medium to large scale facilities. We also provide classification, collection, transport and treatment of effluent, stabilisation storage, handling and disposal of both liquid and solid treated effluent.

Midstream facilities

Midstream infrastructure plays a key role in moving product across nations and international boundaries. Our deep-seated experience and knowledge make this happen safely, securely and is measured accurately.

In Azerbaijan we have helped BP ensure the asset integrity of their onshore terminal in Sangachal. In Saudi Arabia we help Aramco transport their crude and in Europe we commission critical energy infrastructure such as the TAP pipeline. We also have an eye on repurposing legacy infrastructure for reuse in the Low Carbon environment, whether that’s for the transportation for carbon or hydrogen for tomorrow’s energy systems. Our services include:

Gathering systems
Pipelines and storage
Compressor stations
Metering stations
Pump stations
Pipelines
Truck/barge/rail loading terminals
Storage facilities and tank farms
Import and export terminals

Camp facilities

Major energy and industrial construction projects are serviced by a task force of anywhere between 500 to 50,000 people. These occupants need to be catered for and housed safely in dedicated construction villages.

Although camp infrastructure projects are often temporary, they’re heavily logistics driven with challenging schedules and approval requirements to meet early and phased occupancy.

We take a systematic and multi-disciplined approach to early work projects, ensuring that every aspect is considered including:

Master plan of fully self-contained layout, buildings and support facilities
Functional layout entrance/exit, accommodation, services, utilities & entertainment facilities for overall resident welfare
Modular design and phased occupancy
Traffic safety for vehicle and pedestrian movement, safe and efficient transfer of personnel from the camp to the project site
Comfortable acoustic, lighting, climate and spatial design for occupants
Fire and life safety
Catering requirements
Cleaning and laundry facilities
Water treatment, storage and reticulation
Fire water system, hydrants and firefighting systems
Wastewater collection, treatment and disposal
Power generation, distribution and emergency power
Telecommunications and security systems
Operation and maintenance requirements

Temporary Offices and Buildings

We’re specialists in the fast-track and modular build of temporary offices and buildings so project staff have a fully operational site offices from the outset. We provide a multi discipline turnkey contract service which includes design, detailed engineering, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning of buildings, HVAC, electrical and communications.

We support clients through initial survey works, as-built verifications, brownfield engineering, FEED development and scope definition that leads to a seamless and agile transition to EPC or EPCM execution.

We also provide market security by working directly with leading international telecoms providers. Our Engineering and Project management leadership teams work closely with our procurement supply chain to develop customised solutions in line with our client needs.
