Control system project management services include assigning a Project Manager as a single point of contact for the customer and a single point of responsibility for the project. The project manager may also act as the sole or principle engineer for the project depending on the scope of work. The project manager will have ultimate responsibility for technical execution, schedule and budget; as well as communication with the customer and sub-vendors. Where Wilson-Mohr also has turnkey project responsibility, the project manager will coordinate our own project schedule with that of installation subcontractors, sub-vendors and the customer to assure that the separate activities of each culminate in an integrated delivery, construction and commissioning schedule.

 

Control system specification services include site surveys to review existing systems. Typical engineering scope includes specification of appropriate control system hardware and software, field instruments and valves to provide a complete solution for the client’s process equipment control requirement.

 

Control system design services include process control strategy and/or sequential logic development, system electrical, power distribution and field connection design, control loop design, cabinet, panel and skid mechanical design. Documentation formats include AutoCad drawings/electronic files, control program printouts/electronic files and documentation binders with manufacturers manuals and/or electronic files of manufacturers manuals.

 

Control system programming services include system programming using the most current software for the selected control platform. Wilson-Mohr can help to specify the control platform or work with the owner’s standard control hardware. Wilson-Mohr project engineers are experienced with all major PLC’s and hybrid DCS platforms and offer application expertise to provide the most efficient, economical and clear programming techniques available for the required control functions. In addition, Wilson-Mohr HMI/SCADA programmers can provide a complete operator interface / SCADA solution to accompany the control system. Communication interface, graphics, trending & alarm screens and reports are reviewed, tested and ap-proved prior to shipment.

 

Control system fabrication services include shop based cabinet assembly, wiring, piping and testing. Systems are fabricated, debugged and tested at the Wilson-Mohr facility in Houston using on-staff assembly and wiring technicians. Shop personnel, project managers and project engineers have immediate access to each other such that any questions can be answered immediately. Consequently, Wilson-Mohr does not rely on third party fabricators to integrate projects.

 

Control system FAT services include the ability simulate hundreds of I/O points simultaneously to prove logic and GUI execution under the witness of the client. In addition, procedures are in place to test nominal system response and response to unplanned events and operator error. The FAT event is often used as an occasion to train client personnel on the design specifics, routine maintenance and operation of their system. A de-tailed FAT report is generated and submitted with the final documentation package recording the performance of the system and capturing any design changes resulting from the scrutiny of the FAT procedures.
