The safe, efficient and reliable operation of Control and Instrumentation (C&I) systems is crucial for clients across a wide range of market sectors.
Frazer-Nash Consultancy’s strengths in C&I engineering are centred on our ability to understand and model complex, often nonlinear systems and their control, as well as the integration of electronic plant and systems. We can offer a variety of services to meet these requirements:
- Electronic System Design and Specification (Analogue/Digital)
- Safety Systems Design and Specification
- Control Modelling and Simulation
- Instrumentation Evaluation and Standards Compliance
- Software Assurance and Specification
- Asset Management and Obsolescence
These services are based on over thirty years of experience across a range of industry sectors, power and energy, transport and industrial applications.
By combining this experience with high quality engineering design and analysis skills, Frazer-Nash is able to bring a practical understanding to projects. Our analysis skills allow us to review and assess C&I designs and current practices, offering expert advice to develop new processes or procedures for the client. Development times and costs can be reduced by focusing analysis on identified high risk areas.
