Enhancing Collaboration Through Automation

Dustin Butler, Senior Vice President, EN Automation, highlights how ENTRUST leverages its expertise to provide tailored solutions and drive operational excellence.

At ENTRUST Solutions Group, we believe in the power of collaboration and innovation. Automation is not just a service we provide; it is a pathway to stronger partnerships and driving collective success. By immersing ourselves in our clients’ operations, EN Automation uncovers valuable insights that inform tailored solutions designed to tackle their unique challenges. Together, we strive for operational excellence.

Pioneering Collaboration

ENTRUST collaborates with complex projects teams, particularly in mechanical, civil, structural, and electrical engineering. Our expertise lies in providing cutting-edge control systems automation for projects predominantly in the gas midstream space. We have also been broadening collaborative efforts and expertise into electric utilities and other heavy industrial programs.

Moving into the realm of power automation systems, encompassing power management and intelligent load shedding systems, we have developed deep relationships through electric projects and programs within the U.S. EN Automation is a team of more than 100 experts specializing in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) applications. Leveraging this expertise, we have extended our reach into electric utility SCADA projects. With strong utility partnerships across the nation, we are working to modernize their systems for enhanced efficiency and cybersecurity resilience.

Specialized Ventures

Recently, we have been actively involved in helping CPS Energy streamline their control systems, consolidating disparate devices and controllers into a cohesive framework. By applying best practices from years of experience in gas midstream projects, EN teams are set to deliver tailored solutions that optimize operations and maximize system performance. 

We are also strategically aligning our resources to cater to diverse needs within the power generation sector. By integrating our automation services with outage services provided by the power generation engineering group, ENTRUST offers a comprehensive suite of solutions aimed at ensuring seamless operations and maintenance for power generating utilities.

In addition to these specialized ventures, ENTRUST continues to strengthen its partnerships with industry leaders such as Integrity Services. Collaborative efforts focus on compliance requirements, including control room management and rupture valve mitigation programs. By combining expertise in regulatory compliance with advanced automation solutions, we deliver holistic solutions that empower utilities to operate safely and efficiently.

Integrated Approach for Seamless Execution

One of the cornerstones of ENTRUST’s approach lies in our standard engineering services offerings, where we partner routinely with the complex projects group, both on industrial projects and on pipeline projects. The biggest advantage to our customers is that we integrate our control systems expertise early in the design phase of projects. In a typical project, the implementation of the control system can often be an afterthought or is handled by a separate entity outside of the engineering firm. 

Our clients have seen improved outcomes, such as fewer modifications in design, drawings, projects, and layouts, by including our team early in the design process. This ensures that any field issues or necessary changes are directly addressed by our engineering resources.

Dedicated Teams of Automation Professionals 

Our Automation group has been the cornerstone of our success throughout the years. Offering control systems, automation, and systems integration services sets us apart in the engineering landscape. Notably, not every firm provides the same level of automation expertise that we do. 

We pride ourselves on being a value-added component to nearly every facet of ENTRUST’s offerings. From project design to field implementation and ongoing support, we ensure seamless operation of assets for years to come. Collaboration with our clients by forming dedicated teams of automation professionals tailored to specific projects is extremely important to us. This allows us to troubleshoot systems effectively, recommend best practices, and implement solutions hand-in-hand with our clients’ operations teams.
