VIRTUAL PROCESS

VIRTUAL developed a process that inverts a matrix of intuition, technology and experience on a cost-time baseline. This process enables us to manage uncertainties, streamline steps and ultimately produce elegant and efficient solutions to uniquely complex engineering challenges. The VIRTUAL problem solving process is based on a coupling of:

Innovative Design Practices

Innovative design practices that leverage technical dynamic programming, heuristic logic systems, engineering equations and visualizations.

Intuitive Methods

Intuitive methods inspired by continuous improvement and quality control techniques widely employed in the operation and management of industrial plants.

Elegant & Efficient Solutions

Innovative engineering practices are then leveraged to analyze, prepare and implement plans that minimize traditional design pitfalls, expedite steps and deliver on project goals.
