Industrial process systems integration

We design, fabricate, install and commission water treatment plants, electrical rooms, switchboards and process equipment. One technical and contractual counterpart, from drawings to operation.

For mining, water utilities, desalination, data centers and industry.

Operating since
2009
Installation altitude
4,600 m a.s.l.
Power switchboard
3,600 A
Reverse osmosis plants
60 m³/h

From drawings to commissioning

We deliver complete projects with our own team: a single integrator at every stage.

  1. SCADA screen designed for the Santa Rosa arsenic removal plant

    Engineering

    Electrical, control and process design, adapted to the site and the client's standards.

  2. Pump room being fabricated in the SOCIAT workshop

    Fabrication

    Switchboards, skids, racks and containerized rooms built and tested in our workshop.

  3. Lifting an electrical room at a mine site

    Installation

    Transport, lifting, mechanical and electrical installation on site, including at high altitude.

  4. Technician working on a switchboard during commissioning

    Commissioning

    Testing, commissioning, on-site programming and initial operation.

Engineering and industrial integration services

Six lines of work, combined to fit each project.

  • Water treatment plants

    Reverse osmosis, desalination, filtration and arsenic removal plants for drinking water, mining and industry.

  • Electrical and pump rooms

    Fitted-out containers with structure, insulation, HVAC, lighting, piping and equipment.

  • Switchboards and MCCs

    Power and control switchboards with variable frequency drives, soft starters, SCR heating and pH and ORP control.

  • Automation and control

    PLC, HMI and SCADA, instrumentation, industrial communications and fiber optics.

  • Chemical dosing

    Skids, enclosures, powder and polymer preparation units, and pH, conductivity and ORP control.

  • Installation and commissioning

    Mechanical and MV/LV electrical installation, piping in steel, HDPE and PVC, and commissioning.

We fabricate and test in our workshop before shipping

In our workshop we assemble the equipment we later install on site. This lets us control quality, test every unit before shipping and shorten installation times in the field.

  • Pumping skids with manifolds and valves, ready to connect
  • Reverse osmosis and filtration racks with piping and instrumentation
  • Containerized electrical and pump rooms
  • Power and control switchboards, and standard and custom dosing units

We work with SAE 1010 steel, 304/316 stainless steel, HDPE and SCH 80 PVC, finished with baked epoxy-polyester powder coating.

On-site installation, even in extreme conditions

We transport, install and interconnect on site the rooms and equipment we fabricate. We installed the pumping rooms for the Quebrada Blanca hydraulic curtain, for Teck, at 4,600 meters above sea level.

  • Lifting, leveling and anchoring of electrical rooms, pump rooms and skids
  • Mechanical installation and piping in carbon steel, stainless steel, HDPE and PVC
  • MV/LV electrical installation, cable routing, terminations and grounding grids
