Sharpe Engineering & Equipment

At Sharpe Engineering & Equipment, we are dedicated to providing exceptional project management and engineering services exclusively to the food processing industry. With over 25 years of experience, we have mastered the art of successfully completing projects from concept to installation.

Project Management & Engineering

As leaders in the food processing industry since 1994, we have worked with a wide variety of clients and projects. Our team of experts understands the intricacies of working with food products and in production plants. We provide reliable, practical, and professional services to the food processing industry. We help define the project, specify equipment, manage budgets and schedules to get the project completed on time and within budget. Most importantly, we ensure that we meet or exceed the goals set forth in any project to increase profitability and justify the project costs.

Scope Development

At Sharpe Engineering, we understand food processing and can help define a project that really provides the benefits you're looking for. We can review your plant and available data, but also talk through your project to help define projects that bring real returns. Whether your plant needs additional performance, capacity, automation, and efficiency, we would love to discuss how we might be able to support your efforts.

Engineering/Systems Design

Sharpe Engineering can provide layout and system design, which includes specifying equipment, working with your existing assets/facility, and defining what needs to be done. We work collaboratively with your project team to ensure that the system addresses people and material flow and other logistics of your operation and designs a project that best meets the needs of your organization.

Project Management

Sharpe Engineering can manage the project scope to all members of your project team, as well as manage the budget, details, schedule, and all other aspects of your project. Again, we work with you to determine what role you would like us to have. Our team has worked for many years in food processing, and we can keep projects focused, moving, and under control from the initial concept through installation and start-up.

Project Execution

Throughout the project, there may be a varying amount of tasks to drive. This includes working with vendors, contractors, and maintaining the details of the project. Drawings, budgets, schedules, and tasks continue to mature with Sharpe driving all of these details in the best interests of the client.

Installation & Start-Up

When the project gets to the installation phase, Sharpe ensures that the process is smooth and controlled. We ensure that the diligence has been done, and systems/equipment have been tested as needed. We can provide on-site management to drive the project through successful completion. We can work through all start-up issues as required and understand how to properly close out a project.

Sanitary Process

From parts (valves, fittings, etc.) to complete new process line design, build, and installation, we have over 20 years of process piping experience in everything from CIP systems to partial line modifications. We can install a single component or an entire system. Our Sanitary Process Design, fabrication, and installation services include:

• Sanitary welding and field services
