Turnkey Systems

From control system conception, through system design and build, to project turnover to owner and maintence and service long after project completion, RMC Engineering has the skill and breadth of knowledge to produce an automated system tailored to any design and control challenge.

When a fish processor needed a design-build control system complete with 20 hoppers, 35 tank valves, 16 elevators, over 150 VFDs and a dedicated controls network, all in an extremely remote location, RMC was tasked to the job.

Despite the logistical hurdles, including the remote location and an accelerated schedule, RMC delivered a comprehensive controls and SCADA system, complete with monitoring, reporting, and dynamic controls facilitating flexible modifications with minimal programming updates.

The control system for the famous City and Borough of Juneau Whale Sculpture, a popular destination for locals and tourists, was designed and commissioned by RMC Engineering.

The 500 kW Guunuk Creek hydroelectric project was intended to reduce utility costs for the city of Kake by lowering the city’s reliance on a diesel power plant. To minimize the environmental impact of the facility, IPEC reproposed an outdated existing hydroelectric plant building. While cost effective and low impact the building previously housed a 7kW facility. Now with the proposed service increasing to a 500 kW plant, space was at a premium. IPEC needed new switchgear capable of handling the greater power throughput, while maintaining a compact size factor, necessitating a set of custom built switchgear.

RMC dug into the project with firsthand experience wiring, troubleshooting, and servicing switchgear with the intent of producing a product that would easily facilitate maintenance and access to all components, while also keeping within the footprint allowance. Ultimately, RMC produced a set of low voltage switchgear easy to maintain and service, while keeping the size and costs to a minimum.
