The C2O way

  • Expert workforce

    Our expert workforce specializes in US LNG, Oil and Gas, and Industrial communications and control. Our team includes project supervisors, network professionals, control system specialists, and SCADA experts. We excel in integrating legacy systems with IIoT platforms, ensuring robust and secure solutions for diverse energy operations, from offshore platforms to cross-country pipelines.

  • Quality assurance

    Our commitment to quality in communication and control systems is paramount for the US LNG, Oil and Gas, and infrastructure sectors. We rigorously adhere to industry-specific standards, including API 1164 for SCADA security and ISA/IEC 62443 for industrial automation. Our quality teams conduct comprehensive system audits, ensuring all installations meet or exceed PHMSA regulations and FERC requirements. We implement robust testing protocols for critical systems like emergency shutdown (ESD) and fire and gas (F&G) detection. This meticulous approach guarantees the integrity, reliability, and cybersecurity of the communication and control networks we install, crucial for maintaining operational excellence and regulatory compliance in high-stakes energy environments.

  • Robust support structure

    Our dedicated procurement teams work diligently to ensure compliance with the Buy American Act, supporting domestic industries while meeting project requirements. To maintain the highest level of service for mission-critical communication infrastructure, we provide round-the-clock technical support, ensuring uninterrupted operations and swift resolution of any issues that may arise.
