3D SERVICES
software package allows quick and easy creation of fully intelligent 3D piping models. Automatic isometrics, Bill of Materials, clash detection and deliverable construction documents can all be produced from piping layouts. In addition, we have concrete, structural steel, equipment, cable tray and conduit modeling capabilities. These CAD packages can also allow walkthrough visualizations, allowing viewing of a designed object from any desired angle, to provide a true 3D design collaboration.
We use third party scanning services to create 3D models of existing facilities, when appropriate, to design expansion projects using accurate existing facility information.- CADWorx
- Navisworks
- Revit
- ReCap
COMMISSIONING & START-UP
- Site acceptance Process functional control document
- Device Calibration sheets
- HMI, Panel hardware and field device interface function document
- Alarm and Shutdown list (including setpoints)
O&M MANUAL DEVELOPMENT
Vendor documentation is gathered and organized in the format a client needs to operate and maintain the facilities we design. This includes vendor drawings, parts lists, operating instruction manuals, material certifications, test reports, and code compliance documents.
Experience
Transmission
We focus on everything “inside the fence” at a compressor station, from the pipe and valves to the PLC and software.
High speed reciprocating compressors, gas turbine driven centrifugal compressors, slow speed integral compressors, electric driven compression, we’ve done it all. With over 2,000,000 HP of compression experience under one roof, we have a focus on gas compression that is unique in the business.
Meter & Regulation
System interconnects with high pressure supply lines or with low(er) pressure industrial users is our specialty.
Whether you call it an Interconnect, Gate Station, Meter & Regulation Station or Point of Delivery, Basic has you covered. We are experts in:
- Cleaning
- Heating
- Metering
- SCADA
- Conditioning
- Odorization
- Regulating
- Measuring
- Filtering
- Pre-heat

Storage
Basic Systems is able to take care of everything from the well head to the pipeline tie-in at your gas storage site whether it’s a salt formation, depleted reservoir, or an aquifer. We realize that there is more to storing gas than just pumping it into the ground.
The challenge of multiple modes of operation, both in the control system and the facility design, is only part of the equation. Dehydration, dew point control, gas sweetening, injection/withdrawal compression, well-head-telemetry; they all require first-hand knowledge of the operation, the equipment, and the potential design pitfalls in order to make the best decisions.
Production/Midstream
Basic Systems is well equipped to handle the needs of production companies related to gas compression, gas processing (dehydration, dew point control, sweetening, cleaning, heating) and measurement.
We understand that the need for short term return on investment and quick implementation drive the typical gas production facility project.
LNG
Basic Systems, Inc. brings knowledge and experience to design and manage your LNG Facility requirements. We are experienced with vaporization, liquefaction, boil-off gas compression, vapor handling, storage and send out, metering, onsite electrical power generation, utility power connections, and automation and controls for the entire LNG facility.
CNG/NGV
With Natural Gas Vehicles making a comeback, the need for CNG/NGV refueling stations are on the rise. Basic has years of experience in selecting and designing the compression, dispensing equipment, CNG storage cylinders and even the complete process facility. We can provide the detailed concrete, piping and electrical drawings and construction specs for bidding the installation of fueling equipment and building modifications.
