These plants handle variable influent from industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, flash floods after drought periods, and strict regulatory requirements from the EPA and New Mexico Environment Department. Automation through PLC programming, HMI interfaces, SCADA systems, sensors, and variable frequency drives (VFDs) offers major improvements in efficiency, compliance, and cost control. However, implementing reliable automation in these environments comes with distinct hurdles.

Electrical engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacture of electrical equipment, components, and systems that power modern life. From the intricate circuits in your smartphone to the massive grids powering oil and gas operations, renewable energy farms, smart factories, and utility networks, electrical engineers are the architects behind it all.

2026 marks a pivotal chapter for us, one defined by expansion, strengthened foundations, and an unyielding commitment to excellence. We’ve relocated our panel shop to a significantly larger facility, unlocking new capacities for ambitious projects and streamlined operations. But this move is more than just about square footage; it’s a symbol of our growth mindset. As we took stock of our 2025 performance, we identified key successes and areas for amplification, setting the stage for what promises to be our most aggressive and impactful year yet.

As we kick off 2026 on this crisp January 5th, the holiday dust has settled, and operations are ramping back up across the San Juan Basin and beyond. For technical professionals, engineers, and business owners in oil & gas, water & wastewater, agriculture, and other industrial sectors, the new year isn’t just about resolutions—it’s the perfect time for a full-system review.

At Edwards Automation and Design, our primary focus is on delivering high-quality control panels and automation solutions for the projects that come our way. We build everything to a professional, high-level standard, ensuring durability and performance.

In the world of electrical controls and automation, protecting sensitive equipment from environmental hazards is paramount. These robust housings safeguard everything from PLCs and relays to wiring and sensors, ensuring reliability in diverse industrial settings.
