Equipment manufacturing takes place in our 19,000 sq. ft. clean, organized, climate-controlled facility conveniently located near the intersection of I-10 and I-49. Our technicians take pride in their work, and their craftsmanship is second to none.
We specialize in manufacturing chemical injection skids, hydraulic power units, and topsides umbilical termination units required for deep water subsea tiebacks. We are also UL 508A certified for Industrial Control Panels. Pneumatic/Hydraulic Systems, Skid Packaged Automation, PLC Panels, Boarding Valve Panels, Drilling Choke Consoles, and many others are all manufactured following our ISO 9001 certified Quality Management System.
I&E Field Services
API has Instrumentation, Electrical, Automation, and Measurement personnel with decades of experience with installation of cable, tubing, tray, terminating PLC panels, calibration of end devices, installing Fire & Gas systems, general power and lighting, motor control centers, variable frequency drives, ESD/TSE loops, installing wellhead control panels, installing chemical injection skids, HPUs, TUTAs, and more.
We have an electrical license in Louisiana and working on obtaining licenses in other states. Crew cab 4x4 trucks and enclosed trailers are outfitted with tools and materials ready for a variety of challenges.
Please give us a call if you're looking for a quality crew to get the job done safely.
System Integration
Trust API for your PLC Programming, HMI Development, trouble-shooting, modifications to existing systems, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) Systems, flow computer configurations, and more.
Placing the customer's needs first, we take a vendor agnostic approach while selecting custom solutions to automate your process. Whether that happens to be Oil & Gas production facilities, midstream facilities, fracking systems, drilling systems, bulk material handling, water/wastewater systems, food & beverage processes, etc., we first listen carefully, then progress through with design iterations.
Design/Drafting
Our team of experts is uniquely qualified to provide innovative, user-friendly, safe, and reliable solutions for your project.
For decades we have designed many wellhead control systems (traditional and subsea applications), electric-over-hydraulic, pneumatic over hydraulic, self-contained manually pumped systems, electrical panels, solar-powered chemical injection & solar-powered air compressors, drilling choke consoles, high-integrity pressure protection systems (HIPPS), SIL rated systems and more.
Our equipment is often installed in potentially explosive environments. We consistently rely on electrical safety standards defined by the NEC, IEC, and ATEX.
We can also provide line sizing calculations, accumulator sizing, accumulator nitrogen pre-charge recommendations, and more. When pad-eye calculations are required, we have routinely partnered with a nearby licensed Professional Engineer.
Custom Tag Engraving
While our main service offerings are the focus, we are also light and nibble enough to help out with other special projects.
Using our 16" x 12" engraver, we can provide custom tags and signs for a variety of industrial equipment, office name tags, stainless steel cable tags, etc.
...and more
We have successfully completed a wide variety of instrumentation and electrical projects over the years, installed stainless steel tubing on pressure washing equipment, replaced hydraulic lines on tractors, run brake lines on vehicles, installed air compressor lines in residential shops, have supported UL Lafayette Mechanical Engineering senior project teams, and much more!
Don't hesitate to ask, if we can't help you we'll at least try to point you in the right direction.
