Engineering and Utility Systems for Industrial Facilities

Design, installation, and automation of utility networks and HVAC systems for industrial facilities.

Engineering Infrastructure of Facilities

Designing engineering networks for industrial enterprises requires a comprehensive approach to resource distribution, including water, gas, and heat. Creating a reliable infrastructure is essential for the stable operation of production shops and administrative buildings. Piping designs and pump installations are coordinated with HVAC systems at the site. This coordination prevents clashes between pipe routings and ductwork paths during installation. A well-designed network layout minimizes energy losses and pressure drops across the facility grid.

  • Designing water supply and heating networks.
  • Developing layouts for heat distribution grids.
  • Planning pump station equipment layouts.

Automation of Utility Systems

Automating utility equipment increases process control and reduces wear on actuators. Design includes selecting pressure and temperature sensors, regulating valves, and control panels. The automation is configured to maintain technological parameters without constant manual interventions, aligning with security systems layouts. Programmable controllers monitor pipe pressure and adjust pump speed to prevent water hammer. Protective blockings are implemented to shut down pumps if dry running is detected.

  • Selecting pressure and flow sensors for pipes.
  • Engineering pump station control cabinets.
  • Configuring automatic regulation algorithms.

Integration of Piping and Heating Networks

Integrating water, heating, and cooling systems into a single complex secures coordinated operation. The design details connection diagrams for distribution manifolds and heat exchangers. To enable data exchange between automated nodes, industrial communication lines are planned and network switches are installed. This network infrastructure allows different local controllers to share system data.

  • Unifying water treatment and pumping units.
  • Designing heat exchanger connection schemes.
  • Coordinating parameters of adjacent networks.

Dispatching and Remote Infrastructure Control

Centralized dispatching consoles are developed for remote control of engineering networks. Dispatching allows operators to track pump and valve states on monitor screens. Work documentation for utility automation is prepared according to project specifications, which guide subsequent electrical installation works for connecting instrumentation. The graphical interface displays real-time alarms if pressure levels exceed safe limits.

  • Creating graphic screens for network monitoring.
  • Configuring databases for logging utility parameters.
  • Preparing specifications for electrical installation.

APS has operated in Kazakhstan since 2009 and delivers industrial projects in the oil refining, gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, mining, and energy sectors. Its projects use solutions from Siemens, ABB, Schneider Electric, Emerson, Yokogawa, Honeywell, and other industrial automation manufacturers.
