Tank-Measurement Standards for Future Upgrades
Owned the full lifecycle of this project, connecting capital planning, engineering, delivery and operating readiness. A repeatable tank-measurement approach depended on matching the selected technology with plant needs and procurement arrangements. Standardization had to remain practical for the facilities receiving the equipment.

Industrial Automation, Controls and OT Networks
Controls ownership connected PLC, HMI, VFD, remote-I/O and SCADA requirements with process behavior. OT work included a dedicated fiber backbone, managed switching, segmentation, redundant paths, UPS support, network drawings, device configuration and cutover validation. Instrumentation and alarm behavior were coordinated with operating and maintenance response.
Instrumentation and Tank Measurement
Tank measurement work combined pressure or level instruments with field verification, mounting, access, wiring and calibration. Standardized requirements and supplier alignment supported repeatable installation and procurement. Alarm and display requirements connected the measurement with decisions made by operators.
