What We Offer

From seal flush systems to gas distribution systems to sampling systems, Edmonton Valve & Fitting Field Advisors provide expert consultations to improve the safety and reliability of operations. Our Field Advisors are trained and certified by the well-respected and trusted global brand: Swagelok. They take part in hundreds of hours of training with internationally recognized subject matter experts while meeting the requirements for passing dozens of increasingly challenging exams. Field Advisory Services include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Grab sampling audits
• Sample system audits
• Hose advisory audits
• Design advice
• Fluid system evaluations
• Steam system evaluations
• Leak detection
• Virtual onsite evaluations

• Seal flush system modifications
• Local experts with a global reach
• Laboratory layout advice
• Facility or plant health checks
• Product-specific training
• Component and instrumentation selection

As of 2020, you can benefit from Edmonton Valve & Fitting’s virtual onsite evaluations through our advanced AR headset technology. This technology allows one of our Field Advisors to visit a site wearing their collaboration headset that projects back visuals and audio to a remote team in real-time. This provides the ability to help solve your toughest challenges through Swagelok’s local and global expertise, while simplifying the process for site visits and providing enhanced documentation.

The Benefit of Local Industrial Fluid Consultants

With over 50 years of providing professional support to industrial facilities and operations in central and northeast Alberta, our industrial fluid consultants understand the local challenges, as well as regulations. From sampling and seal flush inefficiencies to problematic leakage, our Field Advisors are readily available to help you improve your operations’ reliability, safety, and efficiency, and minimize downtime.

The combination of superior product application knowledge and our local presence allows us to help solve your most difficult fluid systems challenges quickly and efficiently.

One thing is for sure: Our customers are essential businesses, and that means reliability is essential. With crews slimmed down to facilitate healthy distancing, every hour of maintenance matters. With shifts in the economy, every dollar counts. With record-breaking summer and winter temperatures becoming our new normal, preparedness is crucial. And now, on top of all the other issues, maybe visitors are limited too.

Oil & gas, chem refining, power, midstream and SAGD experience

Our field service technicians have particular strength in serving companies in oil & gas (upstream) applications, chem refining applications, power (coal, gas, and combined cycle) applications, midstream applications, and SAGD (steam-assisted gravity drainage) applications. They know the regulatory standards that apply here and know about the trends that may be affecting your business.

Q: What do we receive?

A: Written findings and recommendations delivered in a detailed report, usually with photos, savings calculations, suggested top priority action items, and best practices guidance. You may also receive CAD file, database file, physical tags on components in your facility. Onsite discussion or video session with one or more field engineers. You have as much discussion time as you need to thoroughly understanding all findings.

Q: Does using this service require close social contact?

A: No. It depends on your needs and conditions on the ground. For example, want us to uncover hidden issues/costs in a fluid system? That usually requires physical or virtual onsite. Want us to help resolve a specific problem? Sometimes that requires onsite, sometimes doesn’t. Want us to check your plan or design (materials selection, components selection, assembly process…)? Usually that doesn’t require onsite.

We discuss our findings and recommendations with you. You get as much time as you need to thoroughly understand the findings.

"Reports generally include an assessment overall of the stations or of the analytical system. We will do a review of the findings: 'What is really there? What exists today?' We look at safety, environmental quality, functionality. We aim to grade them on a scale, often from 1 to 5 (where 1 means 'it's excellent' and 5 means 'it needs immediate replacement'). We can also provide a piping and instrumentation diagram of the existing system along with the P&ID that we recommend you implement to get better results."
