Industrial Engineering Projects & Case Studies
The true measure of any engineering solution is not the equipment installed—it’s the operational performance it helps achieve.
Every project featured here reflects Proplant PCE’s commitment to improving process reliability, plant performance, operational visibility, and long-term engineering success.
From instrumentation upgrades and automation projects to density measurement installations and electrical infrastructure, our work is focused on solving real operational challenges across mining, manufacturing, water treatment, energy, and industrial processing facilities.
Introduction
Engineering Solutions Delivered in the Real World
Industrial engineering isn’t performed in a laboratory.
It’s delivered in operating plants where reliability, safety, and production targets matter every day.
Our project portfolio demonstrates how practical engineering, accurate instrumentation, reliable automation, and thoughtful process control help organisations improve operational performance while reducing long-term operational risk.
Rather than focusing solely on products, we focus on the engineering challenges our clients need to solve.
Featured Projects

Our Engineering Approach
Every Project Starts With Understanding the Process
Successful engineering projects begin with understanding the operational objectives—not simply selecting equipment.
Our approach typically includes:
Assess
Understanding the process, plant conditions, and operational challenges.
Specify
Selecting the right instrumentation, automation, and electrical solutions.
Install
Professional implementation with minimal operational disruption.
Commission
Testing, validation, and optimisation.
Support
Ongoing engineering support for long-term reliability.

Why Real Projects Matter
Engineering decisions carry operational consequences.
Real project experience demonstrates how instrumentation, electrical systems, process control, and automation perform in demanding industrial environments.
Our projects showcase practical engineering solutions focused on operational performance rather than product features.
Because engineering isn't measured by what is installed.
It is measured by how reliably the plant performs afterwards.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Proplant PCE supports industrial facilities across mining, mineral processing, manufacturing, water and wastewater treatment, chemical processing, energy and utilities, food and beverage, and heavy industry. Our electrical, instrumentation, automation, and process control solutions are applied wherever reliable measurement and stable process control are critical to plant performance.
Yes. A large share of our work involves improving existing operating plants rather than greenfield builds. We upgrade ageing instrumentation, modernise electrical and control infrastructure, and integrate new automation into established systems — planned around your production schedule to keep operational disruption to a minimum.
Yes. Commissioning is a standard part of our project delivery. We test, validate, and optimise installed equipment to confirm it performs correctly under real operating conditions before handover, so the solution delivers the measurement accuracy and process stability it was specified for.
Yes. We supply and install non-nuclear density measurement technology, including Rhosonics non-nuclear density transmitters, as a direct alternative to radioactive density gauges. This removes the licensing, handling, and regulatory burden associated with nuclear sources while maintaining reliable density measurement in slurry and process applications.
Yes. We assess existing instrumentation to identify inaccurate measurements, ageing equipment, and opportunities to improve process visibility and reliability. The outcome is a clear, prioritised view of where targeted upgrades will deliver the greatest operational benefit.
Yes. We upgrade and extend existing PLC, HMI, SCADA, and control panel systems rather than requiring a full replacement where that isn’t necessary. Upgrades are designed to improve operational visibility, reliability, and integration while protecting your existing investment.
Every project starts with understanding your operational objectives, plant conditions, and challenges — not simply selecting equipment. From there we specify the right instrumentation, automation, and electrical solutions, install with minimal disruption, commission and optimise, and provide ongoing support for long-term reliability.
