Controls engineering and industrial automation — designed, integrated, commissioned.
From manufacturing floors and distribution centers to data centers and process facilities — we deliver senior-led engineering across the full project lifecycle.
Mexico City Based · Operating Across North America
Built for teams that manage risk, not just projects.
We work with owner-operators and program teams responsible for infrastructure where controls failures carry real consequences.
Mission-Critical Infrastructure
Data centers, hospitals, telecom, and facilities where downtime carries operational or regulatory consequences.
Industrial Manufacturing
Process control, machine integration, and production line automation for discrete and continuous manufacturing.
Materials Handling & Logistics
Conveyor systems, sortation, warehouse automation, and distribution center controls.
Process Controls Engineering
Instrumentation, control system design, and process optimization for facilities managing continuous or batch operations — from upstream production and pipeline monitoring to water treatment, distribution, and environmental compliance.
Food & Beverage
Batch processing, CIP systems, recipe management, and compliance-driven controls for production environments.
Oil & Gas
Upstream, midstream, and downstream controls including well monitoring, pipeline SCADA, and refinery automation.
Full-scope controls engineering, from design through turnover.
Every engagement is scoped to deliver a clean, operator-ready handoff. No ambiguity in deliverables, no gaps in accountability.
Design Services
Front-end engineering, detailed design, and engineering deliverables for industrial automation and controls projects.
Systems Implementation
End-to-end automation system implementation — PLC/DCS programming, HMI/SCADA development, integration, and field deployment.
Electrical Installation & Controls Integration
Field execution including electrical installation, conduit routing, terminations, panel mounting, and instrumentation hookup.
Panel Fabrication
In-house control panel design and fabrication — UL 508A and NOM/ANCE compliant for U.S. and Mexican markets.
Network Architecture & Modernization
Industrial network assessment, modernization planning, and deployment — from targeted upgrades in active brownfield environments to full infrastructure replacement across legacy OT systems.
Commissioning & Startup
Systematic commissioning and startup — from loop checking and functional testing to integrated systems testing for critical facilities.
Mission-Critical Commissioning
Cx-level commissioning for data centers and critical facilities — IST execution, ASHRAE/NETA protocols, and Uptime Institute methodology.
Documentation & Turnover
As-built drawings, O&M manuals, loop folders, test records, and complete digital turnover packages.
BIM Services
3D coordination, clash detection, and constructability review using Revit, Navisworks, and AutoCAD.
Project Management Support
Scheduling, cost tracking, resource coordination, and stakeholder reporting for industrial projects.
Delivery Model
Structured execution. Clear accountability.
We reduce your exposure from design through turnover. Every phase has defined outputs, review gates, and a single point of responsibility.
Scope & Align
Define deliverables, responsibilities, and success criteria before any work begins.
Design & Document
Produce control narratives, drawings, and specifications tied to the approved scope.
Integrate & Test
Build, program, and verify systems in controlled conditions before site deployment.
Commission & Turn Over
Validate performance on-site and deliver complete, operator-ready documentation.
