Control & Safety Systems
The components in a control and safety system has an expected lifetime from 5 to 25 years. This means that after just a few years of production, you will find that you might have obsolete components and systems, and that upgrading to the newest solutions might not always the best approach.

Our approach to control and safety systems includes:
- No spare parts available
- No software updates available
- No support personnel available
1. Systems integrator
2. Lifetime extension for obsolete systems

3. Obsolescence management
4. Operational documentation and engineering services
Backlog of red mark-ups can in some cases be a challenge. We help our customers keeping these documents updated with a fast track QA and updated service. Typical documents are:
- Cause and Effect diagrams (C&E)
- Smart Plant Information (SPI) database
- Shutdown Block diagrams
- System Control Diagrams (SCDs)
- Safety Requirements Specifications (SRS) and Safety Analysis Reports (SAR)
We can document a typical update time of 3 days from mark-up until the document is checked, approved and updated.

7. How can we get started?
Our delivery model is based around our in-house experts on the ABB control and safety system, and for other systems we have an extensive partner network. Depending on the scope, Eldor may support any delivery model. From expert consultant to full engineering and system supplier roles.
Our contribution to major greenfield developments or major retrofits are expert consultants that follow-up on deliveries, on behalf of the customers. Our management system is optimised for "single" discipline small projects.
Recommended approach:
- Invite Eldor to a small modification workpack or a study. Why not get a competing quote and see how we compare?
- Delivery model can be anything from system expert consultants, modification workpacks, "single" discipline modifications of feed studies, etc.
- Clients may select how much of the project they choose to outsource.
- An ideal first project may be a feed study, a small modification work-pack, or a system health check.
