Valmet – A trusted partner for complex EPC project
Industrial automation solutions for EPC contractors
Valmet provides advanced industrial automation solutions for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractors in the energy and process industries, enabling secure, predictable, and efficient delivery of complex automation projects. By combining automation solutions with a collaborative execution model, Valmet helps EPC contractors deliver projects on time, on budget, and with reduced risk. This strengthens project execution capability across the lifecycle while supporting predictable delivery, consistent quality, and reliable performance in multi-vendor environments.
Predictable project execution and schedule certainty
Reduced integration and execution risk in multi-vendor environments
Seamless and efficient system integration enabling controlled delivery
Enhanced lifecycle performance and operational reliability
Proven capability in complex EPC delivery
Valmet supports EPC contractors in executing highly complex automation projects by combining deep energy and process industry expertise with a structured delivery model that improves control over execution, coordination, and risk management. This enables more predictable project outcomes, stronger schedule certainty, and consistent quality across engineering, commissioning, and handover.
Valmet can support EPC contractors already in the pre-FEED (Preliminary Front-End Engineering Design) and early engineering phases, helping identify automation, integration, and lifecycle requirements early in the project definition. This enables project derisking, improves execution planning, and reduces interface-related uncertainty in later project phases.
Seamless integration and operational excellence
Valmet’s automation system is designed for industrial environments where multiple suppliers and third-party systems operate as one integrated whole. The platform reduces engineering complexity and supports faster, more efficient commissioning.
In multi-vendor environments, this translates into stable project execution where systems, contractors, and third-party suppliers are aligned to ensure safe and efficient delivery. Operational continuity and lifecycle performance are further strengthened through optimized control strategies and efficient system integration.
Valmet DNAe – secure and scalable automation platform
Valmet DNAe Distributed Control System (DCS) provides a scalable and secure automation foundation for modern EPC projects, combining high availability, modular architecture, and built-in cybersecurity.
The system simplifies engineering, testing, and commissioning while reducing interface complexity in multi-vendor environments. Built-in redundancy ensures operational continuity in critical processes, and structured design supports faster and more predictable project execution.
Security is embedded by design, ensuring safe integration of third-party systems across the full lifecycle.
Operators benefit from advanced visibility, intuitive control, and real-time diagnostics, enabling faster decision-making, improved operational control, and reduced downtime.
Lifecycle partnership for long-term performance
With over 40 years of experience, Valmet supports EPC contractors across the entire lifecycle of industrial automation projects, from early engineering and system integration to commissioning and long-term operations.
The result is improved execution reliability, reduced project risk, and strong lifecycle performance supported by global expertise and local execution capability.
Valmet also supports the energy transition, providing automation solutions that enable more flexible, efficient, and future-ready industrial operations.
What is Valmet’s role in EPC projects?
Valmet acts as a long-term partner for EPC contractors throughout the entire project lifecycle, from early engineering and pre-FEED phases through commissioning and operation.
