Nash Control Systems Services
Control Engineering Consultancy
Developments and innovation in the control engineering discipline are moving at an ever increasing pace.
Nash Control Systems take a proactive stance in keeping abreast of the latest control engineering
products and solutions. Invariably the latest technology simplifies and increases system transparency
to the developer and end user.
Nash Control Systems is accomplished at assessing a customers current control systems, and
providing advice on a cost effective up-grade or system improvement strategy on faulty, unreliable or
legacy control equipment.
The commercial justification of any recommended upgrade strategy we develop is always an important
part of the consultancy process. We understand that business development budgets are in limited
supply in the current economic climate. Often the improved reliability, system efficiency, and ease
of system future development, pays for the system up-grade works in a relatively short space of time.
Project Management
We are equally comfortable managing small engineering package work, and large multi-discipline CDM
projects.
Nash Control Systems is familiar with all aspects of engineering project management.
Our personnel are experienced in planning, organising, securing, managing, leading, and controlling
resources to achieve a project's specific goals. We realize the importance of keeping a sharp focus
on the project scope, and bringing the project in on time and on budget. We believe in clear, timely
communication of any project scope change requirements, as the most commercially effective way of
dealing with projects that evolve from the original client concept.
Our Personnel have worked on large multi-discipline projects, and we pride ourselves on communicating
and performing safely and efficiently with other contractors and our clients.
