Engineering theCaribbean's criticalenergy infrastructure
Since 2000, PMEC has kept refineries, power plants and water systems running across the Caribbean and Latin America — a single multi-discipline team from process design through commissioning and start-up.

Engineering disciplines in-house
One firm,every discipline,no hand-offs.
What separates PMEC from its competitors is the ability to execute large projects with direct access to experts in every major engineering discipline — through our own personnel and a network of strategic alliances.
Mechanical, electrical, architectural, structural and civil design sit under one roof. That integrated approach removes the coordination gaps where schedule and budget usually go missing.
- PR-01
Understand the core business
We learn how your plant actually makes money before we propose anything that touches it.
- PR-02
Practical, economical, safe
Solutions engineered to reduce cost without trading away safety margin or compliance.
- PR-03
Relationships built on trust
Trust, respect, ethics and performance — measured over decades, not project cycles.
- PR-04
Energy efficiency & sustainability
LEED-credentialed personnel across every discipline, with deep experience in energy modelling, conservation and building thermal analysis.
Every disciplineunder one roof.
From process simulation to switchgear commissioning — the engineers who scope the work are the engineers who deliver it.
Process Systems
Up-stream, mid-stream and down-stream process design and simulation.
Process simulations for new designs and upgrades, focused on constant improvement — maximising production at lower operating cost while holding product specification.
Instrumentation & Control
Automation, DCS/PLC systems and control-room monitoring.
Instrumentation and control systems that bring industrial plant to a genuine level of automation — better monitoring in the control room, less direct physical exposure on the floor.
Civil & Structural
Upgrade, repair and design of structures, plus land development.
Structural engineers, designers and drafters working across new build, renovation and repair — with design codes, material standards and seismic considerations built in from the start.
Mechanical
All phases, from scope development to commissioning and start-up.
Multi-disciplinary mechanical engineers bringing trade and industry experience to analytical problems — and practical answers to operational ones.
Piping
Material selection, routing and stress to the highest standards.
We apply the codes that drive optimal pipe selection across materials, backed by dedicated software to keep designs efficient and standards-compliant.
HVAC
Comfort, health and energy savings in air-conditioning design.
Indoor climate is a defining factor in any building. We define air-conditioning systems that balance occupant comfort against real energy cost.
Architecture
Spatial planning and design, adjusted to time and cost targets.
Balanced distribution of space, planned and detailed against building regulations — and against the execution schedule and budget you actually have.
Electrical
Generation, transmission, distribution and conversion.
Produce more, using less energy. We design and develop the machinery and systems driven by electrical power, with efficient use as the governing constraint.
What we takeresponsibility for.
More than fifteen years developing specialised services around client need — practical, economical and safe, with cost reduction as the governing constraint.
