Engineering Design Group

Utilizing the Engineers’ Layout, P & ID, and Equipment List along with the latest CAD software, our designers will develop all design drawings required for any project scope. If required, our experienced drafters are also available to create the detailed shop drawings required for fabrication.

Our design group specializes in the following fields:

• Mechanical – Industrial equipment, heavy equipment, precision parts, assembly drawings, detail drawings, geometric dimensioning
• Electrical / Instrumentation – PLC, DCS, MCC, switchgear, substations, control systems, power distribution, communications, and data highways
• Civil – Foundations, concrete structures, reinforcing bar schedules, site plans, municipal / public works, sumps, drainage, and roadways
• Structural – Steel structures, platforms, pipe supports, stairways, skids, and miscellaneous steel
• Piping – Process piping above and below ground, heaters, compressors, plant layouts, equipment arrangements, checking existing drawings, and isometrics
• Large Document Scanning – Archiving, transferring scanned drawings into vector format

HazOps

The success of any operating facility depends on thorough, up-front planning and training. As part of DeNovo’s services, our group of manufacturing and safety engineers is able to develop and implement the necessary Standard Operations Procedures training along with training modules, which are needed on all process installations and modifications. DeNovo’s comprehensive approach provides a means for all involved parties of the manufacturing facility to be active participants in the development of the facility programs, thus ensuring site wide acceptance and ownership.

Using current OSHA guidelines, state of the art modeling protocol, and our diverse expertise, we can effectively structure a hazardous operations audit to achieve specific objectives. These objectives include:

• Identifying process deficiencies, which can result in injury, loss of productivity, or loss of assets.
• Determining the necessary appropriate measures in either equipment or procedural changes, which will prevent identified issues.
• Ensuring that a standardized corporate philosophy is followed concerning overall safety, the protection of employees, and the preservation of company assets.
