Systems-based engineering, life-cycle technical support, practical delivery.

Larix North Solutions provides independent engineering and advisory support across the full lifecycle of industrial and environmental systems — from early technology evaluation and conceptual definition through detailed engineering, implementation, and operational support.

We help owners, developers, and engineering teams make sound technical decisions early, define systems clearly, and carry that intent through execution and operation.

How we add value

Our role is often to act as an independent technical extension of the owner’s team, providing continuity, judgment, and practical engineering insight across project phases.

We emphasize:

• Early clarity before capital commitment

• Defensible technical decisions and system architectures

• Alignment between process, automation, and operations

• Documentation that supports decision-making and execution

• Practical solutions grounded in real operating environments

Our work spans front-end engineering, system architecture, and practical implementation support. We engage early to help shape projects before key decisions are locked in, and we stay involved through execution to ensure continuity, operability, and alignment. This includes conceptual technology evaluation, front-end process engineering, system architecture definition, and downstream support through commissioning, troubleshooting, and operational refinement.

Front-end engineering and technology definition

We support early-stage and FEL-level efforts where technical clarity and decision quality have the greatest impact.

• Technology evaluation and alternative analysis

• Concept development and feasibility support

• Front-end process engineering

• Process flow diagrams (PFDs), system block diagrams, material and energy balances

• Basis-of-design development

• Engineering narratives and technical assumptions

• Vendor and technology review and comparison

System architecture and definition

Clear system architecture is essential for successful execution. We provide structured definition across process, controls, and infrastructure disciplines.

• Piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs)

• Control system architecture and boundaries

• Controls philosophies and operational narratives

• Network and communications architecture

• Instrumentation and I/O definition

• Automation scope definition and standards

These artifacts serve as durable references that support detailed design, procurement, construction, and long-term operation.

Detailed engineering, automation, and execution support

As projects progress, we support detailed engineering and implementation while preserving front-end intent.

• Process and controls engineering support

• PLC and SCADA strategy and implementation guidance

• Automation standards and templates

• Vendor coordination and technical alignment

• Factory and site acceptance support

• Commissioning planning and execution support

Process, controls, and operations are treated as enabling systems — integrated from the start rather than layered on at the end.

About Larix North Solutions

Larix North Solutions is an independent engineering and advisory practice providing front-end engineering, system architecture, and lifecycle technical support for complex industrial systems. Our experience spans process engineering, automation, controls architecture, and project execution across a range of industrial and environmental applications. We specialize in bridging early concept development with detailed engineering and operational reality, helping teams move from ideas to systems that perform.

If you are evaluating a technology, defining a system concept, preparing for front-end engineering, or supporting a project through execution and commissioning, we would be glad to connect.
