We have been involved in control system design, programming, commissioning, and facility start-up for an expansive range of projects.
Focal Automation was established in 2006 to manage the automation needs of several gas plants located in the North West Territories. Over the next 6 years our reputation awarded us several projects from Pearson, Manitoba to Fort Nelson, BC and in between. At that point we began to expand on to larger projects all across Canada, the United States, the middle east, Asia and Africa. We are pleased to confirm that we have a solid, skilled team of automation specialists who have the skill set to complete any project with confidence, assurance and within budget.
