Engineering & Scientific Support

Sierra Lobo provides a broad range of engineering and scientific research support services. These services cover basic discipline engineering (mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil and structural), as well as R&D engineering, scientific research, modeling/analysis, and related software development. Our engineers and researchers have experience that encompasses the research, design, analysis, fabrication, build-up, assembly, installation, integration, and operation of complex hardware. Examples of these experience areas are provided below:

Test fixtures and special structures

Structural steel, aluminum, and stainless steel support stands, fixtures, platforms, research hardware interfaces, welding and inspection, proof-loading and verification

Electrical systems

Electrical systems design and maintenance, power distribution systems, industrial pump and motor controls, uninterruptible power supplies, system maintenance

Mechanical systems

Process piping systems, pneumatic and hydraulic servovalve controls; high pressure gas systems; model insertion systems; braking and actuation systems; shaker and vibration systems

Instrumentation and Controls

Temperature, pressure, force, strain, acceleration, heat flux gauges, heat and temperature sensitive paints; vacuum instrumentation; video and audio systems; hydrogen and oxygen detection systems; gas analyzers and mass spectrometers; cryogenic instrumentation: temperature (diode, thermocouple), flow (turbine, venturi), liquid level (diode rakes, capacitance), density (radiation, Cs-137); PLC hardware/software, and GUI systems.
