HEAT TRACING ENGINEERING

Heat tracing, engineered right the first time.

Electrical and steam heat tracing design for refineries, gas plants and process facilities. From heat loss to construction-ready isometrics.

APPROACH

From line list to construction

A documented, reviewable path with no surprises on site.

  1. Understand

    Specifications, P&IDs, line lists and site conditions, reviewed before any calculation.

  2. Calculate

    Heat loss for every design case, then selection with margin and area classification.

  3. Design

    Circuits, schedules, isometrics and power distribution, in your formats.

  4. Support

    Vendor reviews, site queries and revisions through to commissioning.
