Project Management
RPA Project Managers understand how important it is to walk the tightrope between achieving all of your project goals and objectives while honoring the project constraints. We respect that sometimes your resources are limited and that a little bit of creativity on our part is necessary to get the job done right (not to mention on-time and on-budget). Our project managers’ commitment to teamwork and two-way communications allows us to clarify project objectives and goals, as well as the roles and responsibilities of RPA and the client.
Commissioning
From project inception through final turn-over our commissioning agents verify that the installation and operation of your facility meets the design requirements. We employ a hands-on, customized approach to ensure specific client needs and system specifications are met. Each commissioning team is tailored to meet the requirements of your project.
Energy Management
Whether you operate an office building or an industrial site, managing facilities efficiently is an increasingly critical factor of success. RPA can review your facilities for efficient energy usage. In addition, we can oversee projects relating to the efficient consumption of resources through energy- efficient technologies, designs, and alternative- and renewable-energy fuel sources. Our unique qualifications include a deep understanding of the fuels markets, and the electric grid and its various pricing scenarios, to help you maximize energy cost efficiencies.
On-Site Services
For over 20 years, RPA Engineering has provided a seamless, integrated extension of site staff for many clients. Our on-site services allow clients the ability to focus on their core business, while optimizing the effectiveness of their facilities. Whether it is one person for a fast track project, or a team for complete site management, RPA is the right choice.
