Frequently Asked Questions

We specialize in complex industrial and infrastructure projects requiring integration across multiple disciplines. Our core capabilities include infrastructure design for industrial facilities, logistics coordination for heavy equipment transport, installation oversight for mechanical and electrical systems, and environmental planning for regulatory compliance.

Our typical projects involve energy sector infrastructure, manufacturing facility expansions, industrial equipment installations, and multi-state logistics corridors. We work with clients across various industries including energy, manufacturing, logistics, and infrastructure development.

We operate across 25 states in the United States, with our headquarters in San Francisco, California. Our project experience spans from the West Coast to the East Coast, covering diverse regulatory environments and geographic conditions.

We coordinate regional teams that combine local knowledge with standardized engineering protocols, allowing us to deliver consistent quality across different jurisdictions while respecting local requirements and conditions.

Solvex Integrated Systems was established in 2013. Over the past 12 years, we have completed more than 150 projects for 85+ clients across the United States, building a track record of successful project delivery in challenging industrial environments.

Our integration approach begins with comprehensive system mapping during the planning phase, identifying all interface points between disciplines, equipment, and operational phases. We conduct regular cross-disciplinary design reviews where teams address specific interface questions with supporting data.

Throughout project execution, we maintain clear communication protocols, document interdependencies systematically, and proactively address conflicts before they become field problems. Integration is not an add-on service—it is fundamental to how we structure and execute every engagement.

We maintain current knowledge of transportation regulations, environmental requirements, and construction codes across the states where we operate. Our team sequences permit applications to account for varying approval timelines and coordinates with regulatory agencies at federal, state, and local levels.

For complex projects spanning multiple jurisdictions, we develop comprehensive compliance strategies that identify all applicable requirements early in the planning process, preventing delays from missed permits or incomplete documentation.

Project timelines vary significantly based on scope, complexity, and regulatory requirements. A focused logistics coordination effort might span several months, while comprehensive infrastructure design and installation oversight can extend over one to three years.

During initial consultations, we develop realistic schedule estimates based on project specifics, permitting requirements, equipment lead times, and construction sequencing. We provide regular progress updates and adjust schedules proactively when conditions change.

We work in both capacities depending on client needs. For many projects, we serve as the primary engineering consultant, providing comprehensive services from concept through commissioning. In other cases, we provide specialized support to existing engineering teams, focusing on logistics coordination, installation oversight, or integration planning.

Our role is defined during project scoping to ensure clear responsibilities and effective collaboration with all project stakeholders.

Our team utilizes industry-standard engineering software including three-dimensional modeling platforms for design and clash detection, project management systems for coordination and documentation, and specialized analysis tools for structural, mechanical, and environmental assessments.

We select tools based on project requirements and client preferences, ensuring compatibility with existing systems and efficient data exchange between project teams.

Quality assurance is embedded throughout our processes. All technical work undergoes internal review by senior engineers before delivery to clients. We maintain calculation verification procedures, conduct design reviews at key project milestones, and document assumptions and decisions systematically.

For installation oversight, we verify dimensional compliance, document as-built conditions, and coordinate closely with equipment vendors and contractors to ensure installations meet specifications.

Our project portfolio includes work in energy generation and distribution, oil and gas infrastructure, manufacturing and industrial production, logistics and transportation, water and wastewater treatment, and heavy industrial facilities.

This diverse experience allows us to apply best practices across industries and recognize solutions that may not be obvious within a single sector.

Initial engagement begins with a consultation where we discuss your project objectives, technical requirements, timeline constraints, and any specific challenges. You can initiate this conversation by contacting us through our website, calling our office, or sending an email to contact@solvexintegrated.com.

Following the initial discussion, we typically conduct a site visit or detailed technical review to understand project specifics. We then provide a scope of work proposal outlining our recommended approach, deliverables, and timeline.

Useful information for initial consultations includes project location and site characteristics, technical objectives and performance requirements, timeline and schedule constraints, budget considerations, regulatory requirements or environmental constraints, and any existing engineering work or documentation.

However, even if you are in early planning stages without detailed information, we can still have productive conversations about project feasibility and approach.

Yes, we frequently conduct preliminary assessments and feasibility studies as standalone engagements or as initial phases of larger projects. These assessments help clients evaluate project viability, identify major constraints, estimate implementation timelines, and develop realistic budget expectations before committing to detailed engineering.

Due to confidentiality agreements with clients, we cannot publicly discuss specific project details without permission. However, during consultations, we can share relevant experience and reference projects that demonstrate our capabilities in areas similar to your requirements.

We may also be able to arrange conversations with past clients who have agreed to serve as references, allowing you to hear directly about their experience working with our team.
