P.Eng. Seal — Every Deliverable
Why DRUENG Exists

What Alberta's Industries
Are Paying For — But Can't Find

Every posting across oil sands, mining, manufacturing, and heavy equipment reveals the same gap: companies need one trusted P.Eng. who can design, model, stamp, troubleshoot, and manage reliability — not four different vendors.

DRUENG Advantage
What They Want
P.Eng.-Stamped Design + Field Diagnostics — One Person

Companies need someone who engineers solutions on paper AND validates them in the field. Most engineers do one. DRUENG does both — with 20 years of real Alberta field experience behind every decision.

DRUENG Advantage
What They Want
Hydraulic + Mechanical Expertise — Fully Integrated

Oil sands and mining companies can't hire a hydraulics specialist and a mechanical engineer separately. DRUENG integrates both — one engineer, one seal, one accountable professional.

Gap in the Market
PPMP With Engineering Rigour, Not Coordinator Quality

PPMP programs built by maintenance coordinators lack engineering authority. A P.Eng.-engineered maintenance program is a legally defensible differentiator that no one else in Alberta provides.

Gap in the Market
Senior P.Eng. for SMEs — Without Large-Firm Overhead

Small-to-mid manufacturers need stamped drawings, 3D models, and engineering packages but can't afford large firm billing rates. DRUENG delivers P.Eng. quality at boutique efficiency — no minimum.

About DRUENG Services

Meet Daniel Ruiz
Ibáñez, P.Eng.

"I built DRUENG Services because I saw the same gap everywhere I worked — companies needed one engineer who could design the system, model it in 3D, stamp the drawings, build the maintenance program, and show up in the field when it mattered. That engineer didn't exist. So I became one."

Daniel Alberto Ruiz Ibáñez, P.Eng. is a Professional Engineer registered with APEGA, with over 20 years of hands-on experience in mechanical and hydraulic engineering across Alberta's most demanding industrial environments — oil sands, mining, manufacturing, and heavy equipment.

DRUENG Services was founded in 2024 with one mission: deliver senior P.Eng.-level mechanical and hydraulic engineering to Alberta's industrial sector without the overhead, delays, and diluted quality of large consulting firms. Based in Alberta — field-ready in 24–48 hours.

Competitive Advantage

Why No One Else
Can Offer This

01
P.Eng. Seal on Everything

Most consultants cannot legally stamp drawings. Every DRUENG deliverable carries an APEGA P.Eng. seal — legal protection, permit acceptance, and audit-defensible documentation.

02
Hydraulics + Mechanical as One Brain

20 years of integrated experience catches issues at the interface between hydraulic and mechanical systems — where failures actually happen.

03
Field Credibility That Earns Trust

Recommendations don't come from a desk. Hands-on troubleshooting with heavy equipment and hydraulic systems means solutions that survive real Alberta field conditions.

04
PPMP With Engineering Rigour

Maintenance programs engineered by Daniel — not a planner. Includes FMEA, RCM methodology, and engineering-calculated intervals. Unique in Alberta's industrial sector.

05
3D Modelling Linked to Stamps

Every 3D deliverable converts to a full stamped drawing package — saving clients from coordinating between a drafter and a P.Eng. separately.

06
Alberta-Speed Mobilization

No travel from Vancouver or Ontario. Edmonton, Calgary, Fort McMurray and the industrial heartland within 24–48 hours. Emergency RCA calls — same-day response possible.

07
Senior Level, Boutique Efficiency

Large firms charge premium overhead for senior P.Eng. access. DRUENG delivers the same credential depth without project management layers and admin markups.

08
Leadership Without Overhead

20+ years includes leading engineering teams. Clients get engineering management insight — mentoring, technical workflows, junior engineer review — without a full-time manager cost.
