Helping Industry
Transform

C-FER works in partnership with the global energy industry to advance safety, environmental performance and efficiency. We provide full-scale testing and specialized engineering consulting services from our world-class facilities in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

C-FER works with industry to develop solutions to unique engineering challenges. This often requires in‑depth discussions with a client’s subject matter experts and the return to first principals engineering to understand their key issues.

As part of these activities, C-FER often develops novel analysis techniques and testing equipment which build on our past experience or forge new approaches that have never been tried before.

Our Facilities

C-FER operates a variety of large-scale testing systems that can combine load, pressure, temperature and fluid environments to simulate virtually any operating condition encountered in industry.

C-FER performs tests following the most rigorous international standards. Where there are no standards, C-FER’s testing engineers and technologists routinely develop custom testing procedures and systems to meet your specific needs.

C-FER also provides field services to assist you in monitoring the performance of field equipment under actual operating conditions.

This can include specialized, high-speed data acquisition systems orarrays of instruments to monitor complex equipment behaviours.
