7. **Project Management** — Feasibility studies, project execution plans, cost estimation, scheduling, construction management

## ABSA & CRN Registration Services

ABSA (Alberta Boilers Safety Association) is Alberta's provincial pressure equipment safety authority. If any company anywhere in the world supplies pressure equipment (boilers, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, piping systems) for use in Alberta, the design must be reviewed and accepted by ABSA before legal installation.

Heartland's licensed P.Eng. team performs:
- Full engineering review per ASME Section VIII, ASME B31.3, PESR, and APEGA standards
- P.Eng. stamp authentication of engineering documents
- Complete submission to ABSA to obtain the CRN (Canadian Registration Number)
- End-to-end support for domestic and international manufacturers

This is critical for importers: Any manufacturer or importer — from South Korea, China, Germany, the USA, or anywhere globally — who wants to sell pressure equipment into Alberta must obtain a CRN. Heartland handles this end-to-end.

## Industries Served

- Oil & Gas (upstream, midstream, downstream)
- Petrochemical
- Power Generation

## Technology & Innovation

Heartland Engineering deploys advanced technology to enhance engineering accuracy, safety diagnostics, and project visualization:

1. **3D Laser Scanning (LiDAR)** — Millimeter-accuracy as-built capture of industrial facilities using FARO and Leica scanners. Creates point cloud models for brownfield design, clash detection, and dimensional control. 200+ scans completed at ±2mm accuracy.
2. **Photogrammetry (UAV/Drone Surveys)** — Aerial and ground-based photogrammetric surveys for terrain mapping, orthomosaic generation, digital elevation models (DEMs), and construction progress monitoring. Coverage of 100+ acres per flight at ±5cm accuracy.
3. **Motion Amplification Video (MAV)** — RDI Technologies Iris M cameras that capture and amplify invisible vibrations, deflections, and structural movements. Non-contact, non-destructive diagnostics for rotating equipment (pumps, compressors, turbines), pipe rack sway, foundation settling, and bearing wear detection at 0.01 mil sensitivity — before catastrophic failure.
4. **4D Modeling** — Time-integrated 3D models linked to construction schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) via Navisworks. Animated construction sequencing reveals schedule conflicts, crane path interferences, and resource bottlenecks before mobilization. Reduces schedule overruns by up to 30%.
5. **Engineering Animation** — Photorealistic 3D walkthroughs, aerial fly-throughs, and construction sequence animations in 4K MP4 format. Used for stakeholder presentations, regulatory submissions, safety reviews, and contractor pre-qualification. Delivery in 2-4 weeks.
