Engineering and Plant Design

We currently have eight full time engineers and draftsmen on staff. The average experience level of our engineering department is over 17 years and is led by Brian Johnson a Professional Engineer with over 25 years of experience. We utilize the latest CAD software to provide general arrangement drawings, flow diagrams, erection drawings, concrete foundation design, and electrical schematics. We also utilize many software packages including AggFlow to help develop the optimal plant design for your needs.

Process Analysis and Optimization

Optimizing processing facilities requires a lot more than a well designed and maintained plant. It requires a profound knowledge of the entire process including reserves or raw materials, product mix, sales mix, inventory management, etc. More than anything, it requires a highly qualified plant manager

Project Management

Project Management is absolutely critical to the success of any project. We provide experienced project managers who have a proven track record of safely completing projects on time, and on budget.

 

Consulting Services

Consulting services has been a big part of what we do from the beginning. Many times customers need an impartial viewpoint and advice based on experience. This is one of the areas where we really shine. Our team is diversified and experienced, not only in designing and constructing facilities, but actually operating those facilities. We have been in your shoes and understand the challenges you face day in and day out. This is why we are able to bring unparalleled, realistic, proven solutions, and support to your operations.

Site Preparation

Site preparation is a key component to setting the stage for a successful project. Many times projects are designed and budgeted without much thought into what is required to prepare the site for foundations, roads, utilities, drainage, etc… Soil tests, compaction, cut and fill volumes, trenching, critical path activities, time line, resources, and costs must all be considered when developing the site prep plan. Our team has the experience to determine the requirements for each project and develop a site preparation plan along with a timeline and budget.

Concrete Installation

The proper design and installation of the concrete foundations is a very important component of any plant design. Careful consideration must be made to ensure that the site preparation is done properly. In addition, carefully surveying the existing and planned topography is equally important. TPS has the experience to ensure that the concrete foundations are designed to handle the loads applied by the equipment.

Equipment Installation

TPS has a vast amount of erection and equipment installation experience. We put an extraordinary amount of effort into ensuring that the engineering and fabrication is right before we ship the equipment to the job site. This extra effort on the front end of the process insures that the equipment fits in the field. This dramatically reduces the cost of equipment rental and labor costs.

Electrical Systems

High, medium, and low voltage electrical design, specification and supply, PLC / HMI / Network Control System design, specification and supply, and engineering CAD design and documentation.

 

Automation and Instrumentation

Our automation systems are designed by experienced professionals with the highest quality components with emphasis on long-term reliability and ease of use. Our approach is to provide an “Open Architecture” platform which allows the customer to make any changes desired without having to be locked into a particular integrator. This flexibility is important so that you can make future modifications to your control system without having to pay additional licensing fees.

Startup and Commissioning

During startup and commissioning TPS provides additional resources to ensure the startup goes as smooth as possible. A successful startup requires a great deal of resources focused on the right things in the right sequence. Only experienced personnel with the knowledge to direct the workforce, including OEM equipment representatives, can assure a smooth startup. TPS schedules all of the resources and assures that all equipment manufacturer warranties are protected and in full force before we leave.

Training

TPS provides several training programs designed help our customers achieve their goals. Our training programs are designed to help operations and quality control personnel achieve success.
