Project management
SCAN has highly skilled PMI certified project managers, who ensure that all projects are executed with the highest standards of customer satisfaction.
Combination of PMI knowledge and years of hands-on experience executing complex projects has resulted in SCAN’s recognition as a reliable business partner known for finishing projects on time, within budget and defined quality.
Commissioning and start-up assistance
Commissioning and start-up of new plants and equipment presents a major technical and managerial challenge. Chasing project deadlines often requires activities to be performed on a tight schedule. Proper commissioning planning and definition of procedures, along with a highly skilled team, is crucial in the conduction of efficient commissioning.
By participating in many complex projects involving commissioning and start-up activities, SCAN engineers and technicians have gained remarkable field experience. This can help clients meet their most complex demands.
SCAN can also offer support by providing separate instrumentation and control systems precommissioning activities, including the precommissioning planning and preparation of relevant test procedures.
Instrumentation & Control Systems Integration
Great experience in control systems integration, a well-trained team of engineers and application of sophisticated technologies guarantee SCAN capabilities in providing the best solution to client automation problems.
Partnership with some of the top vendors in the area of industrial automation (e.g. Emerson Process Management, ABB, Mitsubishi Electric, Siemens) is another advantage that SCAN gives to its customers. It gives the opportunity to incorporate the best hardware and software for each customized system, keeping the price very competitive.
Within the project implementation stage SCAN can provide the following integration activities:
▪ Equipment supply
▪ PLC, DCS, HMI and SCADA programming
▪ Safety systems programming (ESD, F&G, BMS)
▪ Terminal Automation Software development
▪ Custom application software development
▪ LV, control and marshalling cabinets manufacturing
▪ Instrumentation and control systems installation
▪ Precommissioning and commissioning
▪ Operator and maintenance personnel application specific training
Terminal automation
SCAN quickly recognized the growing market demand for terminal automation solutions. Having the expertise in automation, as well as custody transfer metering systems, SCAN has designed, delivered and implemented for clients a noteworthy number of custody transfer metering systems, including tank gauging systems and terminal automation systems.
Following the needs of customers, SCAN software engineers developed a terminal management software, called SCANTAS. This software was developed to fulfill all requirements of modern terminals, including the connectivity to different ERP systems, and has high levels of customization to meet client requirements. SCANTAS is available in two versions - Basic and Standard - optimized for different application size and complexity.
Instrumentation & Control System Maintenance
The most efficient solution to customer needs comes only through continued support and service after a successful installation.
SCAN's maintenance team, consisting of engineers and technicians that have acquired considerable experience in the analysis of all functional aspects of the systems, provides instrumentation and control systems maintenance services, as well as technical support for systems supplied by other companies.
SCAN offers to customers the possibility of tailor-made maintenance agreements, adjusted to customer needs. Here are some of the features that SCAN offers:
▪ 24/365 on-call support
▪ Immediate response to customer call in an emergency
▪ Preventive maintenance checks
▪ Safety instrumented system components proof-testing
▪ Reactive maintenance interventions
▪ Spare parts on consignment
▪ On-site repair capabilities
Major players in oil & gas industry have recognized SCAN capabilities, and are continuously engaging SCAN for instrumentation and/or control systems maintenance.
Special Expertise
Industrial Cybersecurity
SCAN personnel are certified experts according to IEC 62443 standard, with technical expertise confirmed by GIAC certificates. Cybersecurity is horizontally integrated into all SCAN activities. SCAN can perform the following activities:
▪ Risk assessments (acc. to IEC 62443, NIST SP 800 - 82)
▪ Design and implementation of IACS Cybersecurity measures
▪ Implementing Cybersecurity Management system for the whole plant life cycle
▪ Verification of the effectiveness of implemented cybersecurity measures
▪ Active cyber defence architecture design and implementation

SCAN is a pioneer in regional market in Industrial Automation Control System (IACS) Cybersecurity.
Safety Instrumented Systems
Processes, especially those in oil and gas chemical plants, involve major hazards with potential to cause harm with possible human losses and damage to assets and environment. Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) play a significant role within the process industry as its purpose is to reduce the risk of these hazards to a tolerable level.
Through years of experience in design and implementation of SIS, as well as continuous education of engineering specialists, SCAN has gained expertise which can be shared with clients in this critical discipline.
In addition to providing SIS design according to IEC 61511 standard, SCAN TÜV certified Functional Safety engineers can offer customers the following services:
▪ Leading of Risk Assessment studies (HAZID, HAZOP, QRA etc.)
▪ SIL allocation and SIL verification
▪ Preparation of Safety Reports
▪ Preparation of Safety Requirements Specifications
▪ Verification of SIS design done by other engineering companies
▪ SIS maintenance consultancy
▪ Custom safety trainings
