Rapid Staffing
Through the AVN enterprise of companies and partnerships with design firms, we have the ability to augment our project teams and rapidly staff for larger projects or short duration project needs. This ability additionally allows us to supplement the needs of our clients for assignments on-site.
Our Principal Engineers and Senior Project Managers possess an average of 35+ years of professional industry experience in their respective fields. This level of experience contributes to our quality of workmanship and overall project success. Additionally it allows our project teams to excel in all aspects of the project, from front end engineering and scope development to detailed engineering, design and project support activities.
Project Management
Project Managers are responsible for the development and maintenance of all project schedules. Milestone information shared through the project schedule includes: critical path, task descriptions, task relationships, required resources, start dates, actual and projected cost (by task), project completion dates, and actual and projected progress. Project schedules are reported weekly or bi-weekly based on the client needs. Key Project Manager roles are listed below:
- Work Plan Development & Project Scheduling
- Project Coordination & Monitoring
- Project Accounting
- Quality Assurance
Estimating
Our engineers and design personnel are proficient in the estimation of engineering and construction project schedules using Microsoft Project, ChemCad, V8 Microsoft, 3D-CAD, Finite Element Modeling and Analysis (FEA), Pro/Engineering Technology, Data Management Solutions, MSC Analysis Tools, and many other programs.
Safety
AVN safety engineers and trainers are certified and highly qualified to implement a variety of safety programs and procedures for industrial operations. We provide federal and state regulatory DOT and OSHA compliance training, as well as perform safety engineering services to mitigate risks, investigate accidents and document/improve or develop safety procedures.

Process & Quality Management
We continuously work toward process improvements and implementing changes to improve quality and cost efficiency. Our engineering design processes employ the latest national and local codes and standards (NFPA, ATSM, ASME, API, DOT, National Building Code 2000, ASI and ISO 9001). We also follow strict adherence to our client’s internal standards and design practices.
Security & Secrecy
The expertise of our staff is known world-wide in the field of chemical manufacturing. Several of our current staff were involved in the development of numerous commercial chemical processes for Union Carbide.
Clients
The majority of our project work occurs in repeat business from our primary client base. This demonstrates our commitment to long-term partnerships with our clients and proves that we are focused on providing our clients with the highest value of services for their project needs. Due to confidentiality agreements with the majority of our clients, we are unable to provide a showcase of our specific clients. Our core project work has consisted of engineering and design for large multi-national chemical companies, fortune 500 natural gas companies, start-up manufacturers, regional energy producers, state and local water utilities, as well as U.S. and international governmental authorities.
Natural Gas Industry
Our engineering and design personnel employ sound engineering and design practices, as well as provide onsite support commissioning and start-up for compressor stations and related facilities, gas processing, liquid removal facilities, and heating and cooling plants. Particular expertise is found in all phases of gas separation for the purification of the gas stream, gas compression, total compressor station design, water desalination, de-bottlenecking and maintenance of existing facilities.
Chemical Industry
The expertise of our staff is known world-wide in the field of chemical manufacturing. Several of our current staff were involved in the development of numerous commercial chemical processes for Union Carbide.
Water Industry
AVN staff are experienced in many areas of water analysis, production, treatment, and transmission. Clients have included coal producers, coal transporters, natural gas companies, and public water and wastewater entities. We are ready and well equipped to solve water or wastewater problems.
