Transforming Standards Development

About Us

EDS-Hyperspecs was formed in 1989 by engineers to provide expertise in the generation and maintenance of standards for facilities such as refineries, chemical plants and offshore installations.
During its 25+ years, EDS has built up an unsurpassed body of experience in developing highly optimized standards systems that address both logical organization and comprehensibility. Most owners do not have this expertise in house, and the founders recognized the need for a combined team of engineers and publishing professionals to fully serve our clients’ needs.

EDS has developed a framework for standards improvement that addresses areas to be improved.

EDS has developed a process that guarantees efficient development and improvement of standards.

EDS offers a rapid Standards Development process that minimizes cost and schedule to modernize standards systems while freeing client authors to concentrate on technical issues.

Mission

To generate standards for facilities that communicate requirements with optimal accuracy, clarity, and brevity such that facilities can be developed at minimal cost and schedule.

Vision

It is possible to develop optimal standards that have no barriers to comprehensibility in which requirements can be understood on first reading. That this standard of comprehensibility will lead to improved facility integrity, minimal costs and schedules, and reduced rework in facility development.

The review was positive and we would like you to continue with the format you have suggested for the rest of the documents. The format and changes suggested were seen as a good step forward and essential in framing the documents so that overlaps and redundancies among documents becomes apparent.

Just wanted to convey a special thank you for your prompt attention to this document. I have received some very positive comments regarding your work from a group that I anticipated would push back more than agree.

The document edited by EDS-Hyperspecs is so clear it can be reviewed and updated in a day rather than in the week that it used to take.
