Electrical engineering design for metals and heavy industry

In heavy industry it is not the individual drawing that decides the outcome, but whether the sheer volume stays manageable: thousands of measuring points, hundreds of control cabinets, documentation grown over decades. And a shutdown window that is not negotiable.

Typical tasks

Migrating a control system generation while production planning continues.
Recording the actual state at the plant itself.
Consistent labelling systematics across all parts of the plant.
Dismantling, rebuilding and commissioning within a fixed time window.
Robust design for heat, dust and mechanical load.

What we take on

Circuit, wiring and terminal diagrams for migration and rebuild.
Structuring and continuing plant documentation grown over years.
Technical project responsibility throughout the preparation phase.
Project teams on site during the shutdown.

Engineering software & CAE systems

We work inside your system landscape.

For electrical design and technical documentation we use established CAE systems. Which one we use follows your standards and your existing environment – not our habit.

Technical framework

Preparation decides the outcome, not the shutdown itself. On projects of this scale, the majority of the work happens before day one of implementation.
