We are experts in industrial measurement services and solutions.

SHORES MDS

SHORES MDS is an industrial measurement organization that was founded in 2010 after the 2009 financial crisis. It was during this period when downstream operators were searching for ways to reduce project costs and increase execution efficiencies.

Dimensional control industrial measurement was then a staple in the execution of offshore both maintenance and construction projects when accuracy is imperative due to the implications involved an unsuccessful fit up however it was never then recognized as a way in which downstream operators could save money and improve quality.

SHORES MDS founded in California soon changed this belief and has since taken the technology to facilities across the us, successfully executing all sizes and complexity of projects.

TAR Support

SHORES MDS have experience working Turn Arounds and Shut Downs in facilities around the world.

No matter how well a project is planned on paper if the owner or contractor chooses to ignore the need for 3rd party verification then there WILL be errors and start-up delays.

SHORES MDS can support pre-TAR, during TAR and post TAR.

Prefabrication reducers the requirement for onsite personnel. Doing this benefits the project in multiple ways

Lower costs by less onsite personnel

Increase safety caused by fewer field activities

Less indirect costs. Examples include less badging processing, less supervision, less chance of personnel no shows and fewer jobs to write permits.

Example 2015 – TAR Beaumont TX

800+ fabricated spools surveyed for TAR.

Post TAR review comment.

“The discovery of two spools that were found to be wrong paid for the entire survey cost”

These were two 14” 317SS spools each with two lateral offsets. The spools were on the critical path list and had they been delivered and attempted to be installed would have cost project delays and premium cost rebuild.

Service Examples:

  • Cut line verification
  • Nozzle positioning
  • Replace in-kind piping
  • New piping verification
  • Installation support
  • Tie point verification
  • Alignment surveys
  • Layout surveys
  • Fabrication as-built surveys

Benefits:

  • Fewer cost overruns
  • Direct and indirect savings caused by less onsite fabrication activities
  • Elimination of rework
  • Improved scheduling control
  • Accurate as-built records
  • Less pipe strain
  • Lower costs

How can we help you?

No matter the size or complexity of the project SHORES MDS can help establish an execution plan from the start to the completion of a project.
