Instrumentation & Controls
Global Instrumentation Specialists offers field-proven expertise in the calibration of control instruments. Every GIS calibration project is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for maximum accuracy and precision.
All instrument calibration work is done at your facility by our team of I&C engineers and technicians. Our team can travel to your location during your scheduled outages or at a moment’s notice during emergency situations where you instrumentation needs immediate attention. Our staff includes I&C engineers and technicians, as well as mechanical/electrical technicians and other types of specialized labor and supervisors.
Every element of an I&C project is verified in advance of any work, including recording the condition of the equipment and operation. Once the work is performed, a full-system checkout inspection and control loop tuning is performed, whenever it is needed. Our team stays on site until we verify that everything is working as expected, ensuring that the calibration process has not had an effect on your equipment’s operation and performance.
OEM and Industry best practices encourage the annual calibration of instruments, ensuring drift correction and the adjustment of any controls that can create a challenge to power plant operation, output, efficiency and cost. GIS employs only experienced engineers and technicians—and every one of our I&C experts is trained to ensure that all calibration projects meet specific industry requirements.
In addition, GIS adheres to standards set by the following organizations:
- American National Standards Institute – ANSI
- American Society of Mechanical Engineers – ASME
- American Gas Association – AGA
Every team member has experience and knowledge in the calibration, maintenance and installation of all major brands of instrumentation in use in the industries we service. They design specific calibration forms, including all the specifications needed to ensure an optimal operation and all GIS’ work is documented and photographed as-found and a report is sent to the customer in a Final Report.
Global Instrumentation Specialists can help you:
- Define the requirements for systematically migrating through the maintenance process — down to the component level
- Ensure that drawings, spare parts, calibration standards and skilled technicians are available in advance
- Coordinate with other contractors
- Document the process through final acceptance
- Keep work on schedule
GIS services a wide variety of instrumentation control services in the areas of operations and maintenance, electrical, mechanical and every type of auxiliary equipment—including balance of plant (BoP) services. Every project adheres to the highest industry standards and our team of experts works with your own staff to create a schedule of work and deliverables, including daily outage reports.
When your plant undergoes a planned or unplanned outage, scheduled downturn or turnaround, you have to complete a large range of maintenance tasks in a limited time period. Plants across a wide range of industries look to GIS to provide additional staff support, maintenance expertise and the parts needed for these shutdowns.
As part of our Field Services offering, we provide plant outage planning and facility outage services. Depend on us for the services, expertise and resources you need before, during and after an outage, helping you get back up and running right on schedule.Contact Global Instrumentation Specialists can provide a quote for your project.
