5 Things An EPCM Should Look For When Selecting A Temperature Control Partner
We have successfully worked with EPCM companies in the UK and Ireland who need to include energy efficient chillers and temperature control units in the projects they are delivering for their clients.
These clients are primarily in the:
- Life Science and Pharma
- Chemical &
- Food and Beverage industries
Recently we asked some engineering, procurement and construction management professionals what are the most important things they look for in a selecting a temperature control partner?
The top 5 reasons they chose:
1 They have demonstrable experience in your industries.
As a company with over 30 years dedicated experience in process & facilities temperature control and as of 2017 part of the global company Ingersoll Rand, our credentials are firmly rooted in Food & Beverage, Pharma & Life Science and Chemical applications, particularly in jacketed vessel and reactor temperature control.
2. They have a strong technical, engineering and aftersales infrastructure in place.
We have a vast team of Engineering, Technical & Product Managers who have designed and engineered packaged chillers, energy efficient chillers and TCUs. We have internal aftersales support technicians and over 40 field Services Engineers across the UK and Ireland.
3. They are able to provide expert assistance at the right time.
EPCM companies typically contact us at the FEED stage but we welcome dialogue right from the feasibility stage onwards. This allows us to offer our expert knowledge on all things temperature control, whether it’s performing heating/cooling load calculations or working with you to understand how to optimise temperature control of your individual application.
4. They offer full installation, commissioning & training
The fact we can offer full installation of packaged chillers, energy efficient chillers and temperature control units, including commissioning and training at your client’s is a reason more and more EPCM are choosing to partner with us.
5. They conduct Factory & Site Acceptance Tests
ICS Cool Energy can offer FAT/SAT and the fact we are able to welcome both yourself as an EPCM representative and your client to our Southampton HQ for the FAT, as well as attending your client’s for the SAT has been highly praised.
