Software built from the ground up, not the top down.

Practical apps, business software, and operator training built around how the work actually happens.

Built around the work.

Our experience spans gas-plant and gathering operations, pipeline construction, and inspection. The work comes first: documenting a job, making a calculation without signal, or learning how a plant responds.

01

Inspection & evidence

Field capture, reporting, and verifiable photo documentation for inspection teams.

Industrial training

Experience-based simulation that helps operators practice plant decisions before the stakes are real.

Cold Creek Gas Plant Simulator

Two iPhone tools, each built for a specific job.

Available on the App Store

CYA Snapper

$9.99 USD one time
iPhone, iOS 18.0 or later

Local-first, ticket-based field documentation for utility locators and inspectors. Each photo records GPS quality, coordinates, bearing, local and UTC time, and the work ticket it belongs to.

Capture and file-integrity checks run on your device. Optional Apple Maps requests, user-directed exports, and Photos/iCloud follow the choices described in the privacy policy. A hash checks whether a file changed; it does not prove an event or determine legal admissibility.

PlantHand

$12.99 USD one time
iPhone, iOS 17.0 or later

An offline field toolkit for gas-plant operators covering hydrate risk, chemical injection, JT and blowdown checks, N2 purging, refrigeration, volumes, gas velocity, pipe data, gas properties, and unit conversion.

Built for the control room and the field, with dark and high-contrast daylight themes, local atmospheric-pressure settings, published methods, and validity-range warnings.

Operator training grounded in real plant experience.

Cold Creek turns ten years of cryogenic gas-plant operations into browser-based training. Sim users learn plant behavior, upset response, and the cost of their decisions in a place where mistakes become lessons.

1,700+ Cold Creek simulator users

The second simulator, for the gathering system rather than the plant. Pad to pad, home run to the compressor station, station to the plant. Watch liquids collect in the low spots, explore a simulated run, and compare the effects of different inputs.

For evaluation and practice. Access is approved by hand.

Josh Winter, founder of Ironclad Digital LLC

Josh Winter

“Ten years as a senior operator running real gas plants, stabilizer and cryo, and five in the field before that side of it. I personally trained and signed off operators before they ran a board.”

Ironclad Digital LLC is an owner-led software company building products for industrial and operational teams. Nothing here was designed from a spec sheet. It was built by people who worked the board, ran the line, and trained the crews that came after them.

What the team brings to it

  • 30+ years in pipeline construction
  • 10 years in cryogenic plant operations
  • 5 years in field and gathering operations
  • 10+ years in maintenance and offshore
  • Inspection leadership, commissioning, and startups

Know what to look for in a tool.

Check methods, understand photo integrity, and put simulator practice in context.

Bring us the operating problem.

We start with the workflow, the risk, and what a useful outcome looks like for the people doing the work. Please leave out confidential site details, customer data, and operational records.

Tell us what the job actually looks like and where it goes wrong. If we are not the right fit, we will say so.

A brief workflow description is enough. Do not include confidential site details or operational records. Pigging access is for evaluation and requires manual approval.

We use your address to reply and keep the message for 24 months. Nothing else, and no mailing list. See our Privacy Policy.

Or email support@ironcladintegrity.com directly. Custom facility builds, team licensing, and inspection rollouts start with a conversation, not a quote form.
