Tank-Level Monitoring and Field-Access Planning
Owned the full lifecycle of this project, connecting capital planning, engineering, delivery and operating readiness. Tank monitoring work had field-access requirements as well as instrumentation requirements. Scaffolding, electrical installation and contractor coordination could materially affect how the upgrade was executed.

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.
