Wood Group has developed a new version of its ENVision software. The real-time environmental information management software system for process and industrial plants provides emissions monitoring, troubleshooting, data gathering, interpretation and complete reporting to regulatory agencies. The updated release now allows customers to access instant compliance information, pulled from a portfolio of downstream facilities, in one central location.

Already successfully installed across 60 sites globally, this release marks the first phase of an advanced applications software portfolio for Wood Group.

Bob MacDonald, CEO Wood Group’s Specialist Technical Solutions said: “Our firm focus as a company is delivering technical solutions that solve the challenges our clients face. Our ENVision software simplifies and streamlines the management of environmental data by providing a continuous flow of real-time information and recognizing potential problems for customers before they become an issue.

“The power of ENVision’s existing technology can now be used across a portfolio of assets, adding value for our customers and ensuring they are compliant with external regulatory bodies.”
