Project Management

At Firebridge, we execute on our engineering. As a full service turnkey project provider our goal is to lead the development of our designs through the various milestones, from concept to completion. We envision the entire project from start to finish and have the ability to ensure that this vision is realized. Our staff has significant experience in planning, organizing, and managing industrial resources to bring about the successful delivery and commissioning of projects.

PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers)

In today’s business climate, there’s an ever-increasing demand to integrate process systems to gain a competitive edge. Advancements in the ease of use and affordability of PLCs have opened a world of opportunity for companies looking for low-cost smart system integration.

Firebridge has helped pioneer the way PLCs are used in the field of safety, and we are the first integrator to have a field-approved safety PLC combustion system.

Allow Firebridge to find those synergies that can further automate your system to improve your bottom line and give you a competitive advantage.
