Featured Case Study

Condensate Stabilization Upgrade

Gas Plant Upgrade

PLC’s Engineering Services division deployed a multidisciplinary team comprised of process/mechanical, structural, electrical, instrumentation, and control systems engineering and design professionals to complete the list of deliverables for this project.

We provide our clients with solutions. We use the latest technologies in our detailed multidisciplinary designs. Our drawing package included foundations, structural steel, pipe routing and connections, and electrical power and control systems.

In parallel, PLC developed work plans and HAZID reviews, supporting proper shut-down planning activities. As detailed engineering nears completion, PLC supports our client in its construction efforts by providing IFC packages and scope of work descriptions for each major construction trade (i.e. foundations, mechanical, electrical & controls). 

Project alignment and collaboration are key in any project PLC oversees; weekly communication with our clients is a priority, as well as scheduled design reviews. (i.e. 30%, 60%, 90% design reviews). An added benefit is our laser scan technology; PLC can lead a virtual version of the plant working areas during such reviews. 

Vendor Document Reviews were also included in our execution strategy for this project. PLC successfully coordinated the review of all vendor documentation, soliciting our client’s input, and returned all comments to various vendors in a timely manner.  

We are happy to discuss our past experiences further and take a deep dive into the details.

Introduction

Construction engineering involves the application of engineering principles to the planning, design, and management of construction projects, ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance with regulations. This page provides a comprehensive overview of construction engineering services for project owners, developers, and facility managers seeking reliable solutions for their construction needs. Construction engineering services encompass a range of activities including design, project management, and construction oversight to ensure successful project delivery. Effective construction engineering services are critical for maintaining project timelines, budgets, and quality standards throughout the construction process. Whether you are planning a new facility, expanding an existing site, or upgrading infrastructure, this page will help you understand the value and scope of construction engineering services and how they contribute to successful project outcomes.

Site Development and Permitting

  • Site development design, including grading, drainage, and utility layouts, in compliance with local and state regulations.

  • Preparation and coordination of construction documents for permitting, specification design, and regulatory approvals, including translating code and zoning requirements into clear field instructions.

  • Stormwater management design, including detention and retention systems and hydraulic calculations.

  • Utility infrastructure design, including water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer systems.

  • Due diligence studies, feasibility analyses, and agency coordination to support site development projects.

Foundation and Structural Solutions

PLC delivers integrated civil and structural engineering solutions backed by multi‑state licensure and extensive expertise in foundation systems, structural analysis, and land development. Our team provides comprehensive site development services, including site planning, grading and drainage design, and utility coordination, ensuring projects move efficiently from concept through permitting and construction. Early planning, constructability reviews, and risk analyses help identify issues before construction begins. Construction engineering services often include comprehensive planning and specification design, which helps to identify and mitigate potential construction-related issues before they arise.

We specialize in the design of reinforced concrete foundations for buildings and heavy industrial equipment, as well as engineered pipe supports, structural steel platforms, and access systems. Our foundation solutions include helical piles, drilled piers, and other deep foundation systems, developed in coordination with geotechnical engineering data evaluating soil, rock, and groundwater conditions to support safe foundation design and long‑term reliability.

We design containment structures and heavy‑duty foundation systems tailored to demanding operational environments. Our team performs detailed soil–structure interaction analyses to determine the most efficient and cost‑effective foundation approach for each project. This work reflects close attention to detail and the knowledge needed to manage safety, coordination, and constructability across the business.

Sustainable Design and LEED Support

Through advanced structural modeling and stress analysis using RISA‑3D, we deliver precise structural steel designs and fabrication details. Our fully integrated 3D site models provide clients with clear visualization of foundations and structural systems, improving coordination, minimizing field conflicts, and enhancing overall project execution. Major mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural systems can represent up to 60 percent of a commercial build budget, so coordinated design helps control construction cost.

For sustainable projects, we also develop designs that support LEED certification and energy efficiency, and our team continues to strive for safe, efficient operations informed by years of engineering experience.

Structural Engineering Services

  • Design and analysis of reinforced concrete foundations for equipment and heavy industrial structures.

  • Structural design of steel platforms, access structures, and maintenance walkways for industrial facilities.

  • Pipe rack and pipe support structural design considering thermal loads, wind, and seismic forces.

  • Foundation systems for rotating and static equipment, including anchor bolt design and vibration considerations.

  • Structural assessments and retrofit design for existing industrial structures and foundations, in refineries or plants.

Next, we highlight a recent project that demonstrates our multidisciplinary approach.

Condensate Stabilization Upgrade

Project Overview

PLC’s Engineering Services division deployed a multidisciplinary team comprised of process/mechanical, structural, electrical, instrumentation, and control systems engineering and design professionals to complete the list of deliverables for this project.

Key deliverables included:

  • Foundations

  • Structural steel

  • Pipe routing and connections

  • Electrical power and control systems

Engineering Approach

We provide our clients with ideas that help develop practical solutions for the client. We use the latest technologies in our detailed multidisciplinary designs. Our drawing package included foundations, structural steel, pipe routing and connections, and electrical power and control systems.

Communication and Collaboration

In parallel, PLC developed work plans and HAZID reviews, supporting proper shut-down planning activities and smoother project delivery methods while reducing risk before field work starts. As detailed engineering nears completion, PLC supports our client in its construction efforts by providing IFC packages and scope of work descriptions for each major construction trade (i.e. foundations, mechanical, electrical & controls). Design-build can streamline the process, improve communication between architects and contractors, and provide a single point of accountability.

Project execution strategy steps:

  • Work plans

  • HAZID reviews

  • Scheduled design reviews (30%, 60%, 90%)

  • Vendor document reviews

Project alignment and collaboration are key in any project PLC oversees; with the sensitive nature of active plant work, weekly communication with our clients is a priority to keep schedules on track, along with scheduled design reviews. An added benefit is our laser scan technology; PLC can lead a virtual version of the plant working areas during such reviews.

Vendor Coordination

Vendor Document Reviews were also included in our execution strategy for this project. PLC successfully coordinated the review of all vendor documentation, soliciting our client’s input, and returned all comments to various vendors in a timely manner to support the business goals of the project.

We are happy to discuss our past experiences further and take a deep dive into the details.
