Systems Integration

Atec is a systems integration specialist. We integrate new systems, as well as replace unreliable components in existing facilities. As Atec began as an instrumentation OEM, our integration of electronics and software remains world renowned. We bring mechanical components into skids and packaged products, and those packaged products get integrated into full systems or facilities. Over half of our production comes from outsourced components integrated into Atec systems. We provide total facility integration for new and upgraded construction, including electrical and piping impacts, facility layouts, and storage, safety and transportation requirements, while maintaining compatibility between new and existing systems.

Engineering and Design

Test Cell Design

Comprehensive resource for test cell facility and support equipment design.

We provide turnkey project management for the design and construction of your turbine engine test facility, mobile engine test systems and major support equipment. With an open line of communication, we design to your specifications, incorporating best practices and lessons learned from over 71 years of experience. Our test cell design team uses the latest in 3D modeling to address Aerodynamics with modern software for FEA, CFD, Aero Acoustics, Noise Control, DAS Networks, thermal analysis, structural and fatigue issues and liquid flow sizing, to ensure that our systems meet the structural and dynamic requirements of customer and industry standards. Now employing the added proven concepts from experienced Vital Link and Celtech personnel, we can adapt and upgrade your existing facility for new or different engine types, or develop a turn - key new facility.
