What Practical Engineering Solutions does

Practical Engineering Solutions (PES) is a private EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) firm headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana, founded in 2010 and operating with 11-50 employees. The company delivers integrated engineering, procurement, and construction services to operators in the Oil & Gas (upstream, midstream, downstream), Industrial & Mining, and Energy sectors, with particular focus on smaller capital projects, facility upgrades, expansions, equipment integration, and fast-turn retrofits. Its technical capabilities span the full project lifecycle from FEL 1-4 feasibility and FEED studies through detailed engineering, including mechanical and piping design with isometrics, vessel and structural design, civil/structural engineering, electrical and instrumentation design, and process design and optimization.

PES differentiates on practical, constructability-focused engineering and a unified EPC process that maintains procedural consistency from concept through commissioning. The firm emphasizes responsiveness and accountability on live-facility work where schedule protection, shutdown coordination, and clean turnover documentation are critical. Its procurement service manages vendor qualification through delivery to control cost and schedule risk, while construction oversight enforces safety, quality, and adherence to design intent. The firm also extends into emerging energy transition applications including renewable fuels (biofuels, hydrogen, RNG), carbon capture and storage (CCS/CCUS), and recycling facilities, in addition to industrial work in lithium extraction, material handling, mining, and pulp/paper processing.

Commercially, PES operates a sales-led, project-based model with revenue generated through individual EPC contracts or bundled service engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagement is initiated via a "Request a Quote" call-to-action on its website. The firm markets through a blog ("Learn"), downloadable case studies, and an organic social presence on Facebook and LinkedIn. Credentials implied by industry logo placements include alignment with API, ASME, ASTM, AISC, OSHA, BSEE, USCG, ABS, DNV, and PIP standards. The web presence is hosted under the stonewallco.com domain, suggesting operational affiliation with Stonewall Co, though no formal ownership or capital structure is disclosed.

Core offering

Practical Engineering Solutions (PES) is an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) firm that delivers integrated engineering design, procurement, and construction services for industrial capital projects and retrofits. Its work spans feasibility studies, front-end loading (FEL 1–4), detailed engineering, mechanical and piping design, civil/structural and electrical/instrumentation design, and construction oversight for operators in the Oil & Gas, Industrial & Mining, and Energy sectors.

Product overview

Practical Engineering Solutions (PES) is an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) company that provides a unified set of services for industrial projects. The core offering consists of three integrated service lines: Engineering Services (delivering practical, buildable engineering design packages), Procurement Services (managing vendor qualification through material delivery), and Construction Services (overseeing installation with focus on safety and quality). These services are delivered across three industry verticals: Oil & Gas (upstream, midstream, downstream), Industrial & Mining, and Energy (generation and renewable/sustainable). PES specializes in smaller capital projects that require high performance and responsiveness, providing FEL 1-4 services through detailed engineering with strong capabilities in mechanical, vessel, structural, and piping design.

Direct peers

• Saulsbury: Mid-market EPC and construction services firm serving O&G, refining, petrochemical, and energy-transition customers, with strong Gulf Coast presence. Comparable to PES in target verticals and ability to self-execute smaller capital projects.
• S&B Engineers and Constructors: Houston-based EPC contractor serving refining, petrochemicals, and energy clients with engineering, procurement, and construction services. Closely comparable to PES in scale, sector focus, and integrated project delivery model.
• Audubon Companies: Mid-market EPC and field services firm serving upstream, midstream, downstream, and energy-transition customers primarily from the Gulf Coast. Directly comparable to PES in service mix (engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction) and customer profile.
• Mesa Associates: Engineering services and EPC firm focused on power, industrial, and process customers. Comparable in engineering-led project execution and multi-vertical industrial customer base, though with a stronger power-generation tilt than PES.
• ENGlobal: Engineering and fabrication services firm serving O&G, energy, and government clients with engineering, procurement, and construction management capabilities. Directly comparable in scope and customer overlap with PES.

Broad incumbents

• Worley: Global EPCM firm with deep energy, chemicals, and resources exposure. Comparable to PES in core engineering offerings but operates at vastly greater scale across energy transition, refining, and mining.
• Wood: Global engineering and consulting firm with energy, chemicals, and mining practices. Overlaps with PES's verticals but is a multinational incumbent rather than a regional mid-market EPC.
• Burns & McDonnell: Large, full-service engineering, construction, and consulting firm with broad industrial, energy, and infrastructure practices. Overlaps with PES in industrial, power, and O&G-adjacent engineering services but at much greater scale and breadth.
• KBR: Large EPC and government services firm with sustainable technology, energy, and chemicals practices. Compares to PES in O&G/energy customer base but at significantly larger scale and broader portfolio.
• Jacobs Solutions: Global engineering, consulting, and construction services firm with significant energy, industrial, and infrastructure exposure. Comparable to PES across several engineering and project execution categories but operates at a fundamentally different scale.
