Based on basic design package, detailed engineering designs and documents are developed through deployment of process, civil, mechanical, electrical and instrumentation engineers for arriving at quantities and specifications for ordering towards construction of a viable facility which is smoothly maintained. Designs and drafting work have been extensively computerised on INTERGRAPH and CAD Systems with latest version of design engineering software package.

PDIL has a reputation for its indepth and dedicated approach on commissioning activities which start after mechanical completion. In fact, during the design stage, PDIL's commissioning experts review designs, process control, interlock and safety systems and conduct HAZOP studies to ensure smooth commissioning of the operation. All care is taken to prepare operating manuals for quick and efficient start-up operations and delineating safe shut-down processes, maintaining the highest order of safety of men and machines.

PDIL is a premier inspection agency in India, engaged in the service of various industries since 1968. The services available include Third Party Inspection, Statutory Inspection under prevailing Indian regulations, Safety Certification under the SMPV rules and Project Inspection.

PDIL has the required facilities, equipment and self-developed know how for interpretation of data towards assessment of plant health, adopting the techniques of ulrasonic, radiography, metallography,eddy current, magnetic PT, acoustic emission Tests, etc, and suggests remedial measures. Specialised expertise exists for in-situ metallography, infrared imaging, vibration testing, etc. In addition, available services in quality assurance, integrity assessment of equipment/hardware, failure analysis etc, make PDIL the leading establishment in this sector in India.

Cathodic protection is a method in which the metal tobe protected is made a cathode in an electrochemical cell. The surrounding soil in the specially developed cell is the electrolyte and the base metal is the anode. PDIL has proven expertise to provide cathodic protection system designs for buried metal and concrete structures, underground piping, cross country pipelines, tanks, vessels, etc.

PDIL's Project Planning Group has recognised competence for services on preparation of techno-economic feasibility report, detailed project report, etc, for grass-root projects as well as revamping of existing plants, staffed by experts in design, engineering, plant operation and commissioning , backed with extensive data bank, multi-disciplinary support and computer -aided operations approach. PDIL has been rendering services to various leading industrial houses in the public, private and cooperative sectors as well as to State and Central Governments for over three decades. In addition to the fertilizer and allied industries, PDIL has also served other industries such as petrochemicals, inorganic chemicals, power and utility plants, drugs, catalysts, gas and oil sector and other specialised fields.

Over four hundred assignments on reports have been executed for clients within India and abroad. PDIL has been recognised by the World Bank as an accredited project consultancy organisation. Reputed international agencies like IBRD, ADB, UNIDO, UNDP and FAO have acclaimed PDIL's pre-project consultancy services, in which PDIL's international track record covers Kuwait, Nigeria, Tanzania, Philippines, Malaysia, Myanmar, Fiji, Bahrain, Bangaladesh, Sri Lanka, Abu Dhabi, Afghanistan, etc.

Revamping /retrofitting of existing plants may be executed due to one or more of the reasons viz.: technical obsolescence of the process and/or equipment, augmentation of capacity, reduction in energy consumption, inherent design defects, operational problems etc. By virtue of the expertise, development through long association with inernationally reputed licensers/contractors, PDIL is fully geared to undertake such assignments particularly in the fertilizer sector. The assignments cover such activities as the study of the existing plant operation, identification of areas requiring revamp/retrofit, framing up suitable alternative schemes, selection of the most economical and suitable revamping scheme by maximum utilisation of existing equipment, design, engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning

PDIL's capability covers investigation services and remedial solutions with a multi-disciplinary approach to identify efficiently a cost-effective package that ensures minimal environmental impact.

PDIL studies and recommendations are recognised by the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Central Pollution Control Board, various State Pollution Control Boards and BIS

PDIL has the capability to undertake energy audit assignments in refineries, fertilizer and chemical plants. The section-wise end-to-end approach normally covers energy balance, evaluation of ratings and existing consumptions against norms. The recommendation model is usually based on cost benefit criteria for optimised scheme.

PDIL is registered with the Energy Management Centre under the Minstry of Energy and several State-level energy development bodies as Energy Consultants.

The services of a trained group of engineers are available to conduct electrical audits and system studies for large networks. Computer-aided reports cover information on load flow, short circuit, transient stability assessment, etc, with norms-linked recommendations on improvements for safety and energy conservation

PDIL has proven expertise and required facilities to undertake investigations of various soil and bedrock conditions that call for advanced techniques and know how to frame up civil design basis for a plant. Studies are also undertaken on problems with respect to settlement, vibration and stability of foundations for sensitive equipment like compressors.

Comprehensive expertise, backed by many years of experience, is available for soil testing and site selection services.

PDIL has extensive experience in carrying out surveys for railways and roadways in overdimensioned consignments, traffic projection studies, etc.

Backed by a competent taskforce with decades of experience, PDIL is a leading agency in the area of transportation management for movement of overdimensional and heavy consignments. In addition to providing expert services on studies for selection of transportation mode and route surveys, PDIL also offers services for the transportation of lenghty consignments in its own 224/209 Te BG special wagon on turnkey or hire basis.

PDIL has the expertise and the required computer software to monitor performance of various catalysts, loaded in commercial installations. Based on performance studies, PDIL recommends optimisation of various operating parameters to achieve maximum productivity with the existing charge of catalyst. PDIL also forecasts residual life of the running charges. Such forecasts have recorded high success rates and can be utilised to plan the next change-over schedules.

Assignments on market survey reports and programme evaluation studies are undertaken by a specialised team in PDIL consisting of qualified and competent specialists such as economists, statisticians, etc. Over 100 assignments on market survey reports have been executed so far, including overseas assignments sponsored by international agencies such as IBRD, UNIDO, UNDP, FAO, etc.
