3. Documents Management.
Go Green.
ProMec Engineering has planned the whole internal project management adopting a
paperless model, in order to reduce as much as possible the environmental impact of
its work in terms of consumption of natural and energy resources, indirect CO2
emissions and production of hazardous waste (such as toner, ink etc.), we strongly
believe that every sector of Petrochemical Engineering can be rethought in a more eco-
friendly way. This paperless system has greatly improved the internal document
management process, streamlining the electronic storage procedures and simplifying
retrieval of information thanks to our comments management system that is optimized
through the continuous support of our engineers who adapt procedures to
requirements typical of each project. ProMec Engineering can help clients in
documentation management providing experienced personnel capable of:

 Documents’ management according to

Client’s specifications.
 Preparation of Transmittals from/to
Vendors.
 Project documentation Numbering
Management.
 Secretarial support to Technical Units.
 State of Progresses management.
 Monitoring and Updating of revision
stages of project documentation
