Advantages
Custom training to meet your needs.
Experience

Our graphic artists, technical communicators, and multimedia developers have the skill and experience to create the training you need.

Detail

We combine relevant information from multiple sources so the important details of the system are clearly laid out and easily accessible.

Precision

Drawn-to-scale equipment and plant-specific instrument tags ensure that your training is as accurate and precise as possible.

Clarity

Color-coded flow drawings make it easy to understand complicated equipment, piping, and valve sequences.

Communication

Large format posters make it easy to quickly communicate key points.

Interactivity

Online training modules (SCORM) track and evaluate trainee performance, while incorporating video, animations, audio, and testing.

Philosophy
Our approach to training.
System-Based Training Manuals

Our training philosophy is system-based; each module focuses on a specific system. A map shows where the system is located and how the equipment is laid out. A simple flow diagram explains how the system works at a basic level. After that, we describe each piece of equipment in detail, including its specifications, components, and operation. Finally, we cover the controls and logic for the system. Each section contains increasingly more information and detail and corresponds with the trainees' learning curve.

Information Consolidation

We gather information from P&ID's, single lines, logic schematics, start permissive, shutdown keys, plan drawings, vendor information, photos, etc. to make sure that all of the pertinent information is included. We highlight important design details and specialized components so your workers understand how your system differs from other similar systems.

SCORM-Compliant Online Training

Our SCORM-compliant online training can simplify your training process. With online training, workers can learn when it's convenient. You don't have to manually mark tests and keep track of results. Contract workers can complete orientation training online before coming to site, reducing your costs. Unlike in-person training, video training ensures that all trainees have a consistent, well-documented learning experience. Rarely performed procedures can be filmed so other staff can walk through the crucial steps. Difficult-to-see processes can be illustrated or animated. These modules are compatible with any SCORM-compliant Learning Management System (LMS).

Projects
Some examples of our previous work.
Types of projects that we've previously created include:
  • slideshow presentations with video and voiceover, including a site orientation, a chlorine bottle changeout procedure, and a "lockout and tagout" procedure.

  • a large format (11 x 17 inch) maintenance manual of a HRSG, with 3D illustrations showing the individual steam paths.

  • operator training manuals (e.g. gas turbines, steam turbines, condensate polishing system, water treatment systems, waste water treatment systems, flue gas desulphurization systems, tank farms, condensers, refrigeration systems, compressed air systems).

  • 3D animations to illustrate equipment operation (e.g. progressive cavity pump, rotary screw air compressor).
