Inside the TPS Engineering Process: One-Off Designs That Deliver
In a world of pre-packaged, off-the-shelf processing equipment, Total Product Services (TPS) stands apart with a process that’s built from the ground up—every time. No templates. No shortcuts. Just smarter, faster, custom processing equipment design that aligns perfectly with your facility’s needs and specifications.
This is the Total Product Services engineering process—where every project starts with a blank sheet and ends with a finished product built to order.
No Cookie Cutters. Just Precision.
Think of it like this:
You need an appliance for your home. You could go to a store and buy one that almost fits the space—close enough. Or you could go to someone who designs an appliance exactly for your dimensions, usage, and performance needs.
That’s what TPS does—but for industrial processing systems.
Most manufacturers offer a range of standard sizes or designs. With them, you pick the one closest to what you need. TPS flips that model on its head. We don’t make equipment that “almost fits”—we design and deliver the exact solution.
What “One-Off” Really Means at TPS
“One-off” isn’t just a buzzword for us—it’s our baseline.
Every piece of equipment TPS delivers is:
Individually designed by our engineering team
Built through trusted fabrication partners under our QA/QC process
Customized to your site’s specs, flow requirements, and performance targets
Delivered as a final, turnkey product—ready to install and operate
We don’t keep inventory. We don’t recycle old designs. Every single system is built to match your operational goals, site constraints, and industry compliance requirements.
We Engineer It. We Deliver It. End-to-End.
Let’s clear up a common misconception:
While TPS does not own and operate a manufacturing facility under our name, we absolutely provide full-service design, engineering, and fabrication. We manage fabrication through highly vetted contract labor and partner shops, ensuring every step meets our specifications.
Here’s how it works:
You provide the need—system requirements, performance goals, constraints
TPS engineers the solution—our internal team designs the equipment with your input
We fabricate through trusted partners—with welding, cutting, and assembly done to our specs
Our team performs QA, inspection, and final testing
You receive a custom-built product, ready for integration
We don’t just hand over a design and leave you to find a fabricator—we carry the process through to delivery.
Smarter Design, Faster Timelines
At TPS, our clients get to the front of the line because we’ve built a process that prioritizes:
Collaboration – We work closely with clients to capture exactly what’s needed
Efficiency – No wasted time on redesigns or ill-fitting standard solutions
Quality Control – Every system is inspected, verified, and backed by engineering documentation
Flexibility – From separators to heater treaters, every system is customized for your facility
TPS-Engineered Equipment Examples:
Combustion heating systems
Separation and filtration skids
Metering and control panels
Custom process piping packages
Each one of these systems is engineered, built, and delivered to exact client specifications—using the TPS engineering process that keeps performance, safety, and compliance at the forefront.
Why Engineers and Consultants Choose TPS
Standardized engineering solutions often fall short of meeting unique operational challenges. Engineers, consultants, and facility managers seek partners who offer more than generic options—they require collaborators who understand the intricacies of their specific needs.
Total Product Services (TPS) stands out by providing customized, end-to-end solutions that prioritize precision and performance. We serve oil and gas producers, EPC firms, midstream operators, and facility engineers nationwide who need more than a brochure of prefabricated options.
- Tailored Engineering for Specific Conditions: TPS begins each project by thoroughly understanding the client’s operational parameters. Rather than forcing a fit with pre-existing designs, TPS develops equipment that aligns precisely with the client’s requirements, ensuring optimal functionality and efficiency.
- Collaborative Fabrication Partnerships: While TPS doesn’t operate its own manufacturing facilities, it maintains strong relationships with trusted fabrication partners. This collaborative approach ensures that each component is crafted to exact specifications, with TPS overseeing quality assurance and inspections to maintain high standards.
- Comprehensive Project Ownership: From initial consultation through design, fabrication, and delivery, TPS maintains full ownership of the project. Clients benefit from a single point of contact, streamlined communication, and a cohesive process that minimizes delays and maximizes accountability.
By choosing TPS, engineers and consultants gain a partner dedicated to delivering solutions that are as unique as their operational challenges. Our commitment to customization, quality, and comprehensive service makes us the preferred choice for those seeking excellence in process equipment design and implementation.
Final Thoughts: Custom Means Competitive
Efficiency, compliance, and performance aren’t optional—they’re non-negotiable. Choosing cookie-cutter equipment might feel convenient in the short term, but it often leads to workarounds, inefficiencies, and costly modifications down the line.
At TPS, we believe your engineering process deserves more.
Our one-off engineering approach means every system is designed to fit your facility, your performance goals, and your operational reality—not the other way around. We don’t force you to adapt to a generic product. We adapt the product to fit you. That’s how we help our clients accelerate timelines, avoid rework, and maximize long-term value.
When you choose TPS, you’re choosing precision, accountability, and a partner who delivers engineered systems—not off-the-shelf approximations. It’s not just custom for the sake of being different. It’s custom because it’s what makes you more competitive, more compliant, and more prepared for what’s next.
