Core Capabilities

Technical Review

As a completely independent engineering company not affiliated with any other groups and not selling licensed technologies, CriTek is ideally qualified to provide critical engineering evaluation before project decisions are finalized. In a technical review role, any process change requests are forwarded to our engineers for comment. This helps ensure that the client understands what the impact may be as changes and alternatives are suggested. Many times there is great pressure to hold down costs as the civil, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation details are developed. The temptation to remove seemingly inconsequential components can lead to off-spec product, inadequate throughput, high operating cost, etc. CriTek is able to help prevent such problems simply by serving as a technical reviewer.

CriTek is a full service consulting company with the knowledge, experience, and commitment to provide such clients with total infrastructure services and solutions at a competitive cost.
