Industrial utilities 

Reliable and cost-efficient utility systems are a cornerstone in COWI's industrial consultancy.

Utility systems are numerous and of increasing complexity and costs. It is very important that the systems are efficient and reliable and that the environmental impacts are considered.

Reliable and cost-efficient operation of utility systems is a cornerstone in COWI's assistance to the industry in their planning of new facilities.

Design and specification of plants

We carry out assessment of utility needs, conceptual and detailed design, tendering and procurement, instrumentation and monitoring systems.

Taking care of the entire process

As industrial advisors, we connect all mechanical equipment and coordinate procurement. We clarify electrical and mechanical supply conditions with the suppliers and operational managers. We fit the equipment into the physical framework, and we coordinate assembly with the daily production.

Experience in industrial utilities

All plants are designed with focus on working environment and energy consciousness.

Our experience comprises projects for:

  • Heating plants - heating, steam, superheated water
  • Room ventilation and process ventilation
  • Cooling - compressors, cooling towers, free cooling etc.
  • Compressed-air plants
  • Industrial gases
  • Fire protection
  • Aqueous systems, drains and water treatment
  • CIP/SIP
  • Purified water systems (WFI etc.)
  • High-tension plants and switchboards
  • Distribution and lighting
  • Safety installations
