Services
Engineering Design
We provide multidisciplinary engineering design across structural, mechanical, process, electrical, control, and instrumentation sectors. Our ISO 9001-certified team delivers compliant solutions with full trackability, ensuring validation and verification meet strategic requirements. Services include clash checking, equipment installation planning, and interface position design for new engineering supports.
3D Visualisation
Our visualisation team creates technically accurate digital content using industry-leading software. We produce photorealistic images and animations for architectural, product, and manufacturing applications, supporting clients from concept to final presentation. Content scales from marketing materials to detailed feasibility studies, deployable on platforms ranging from 4K screens to AR/VR headsets.
Laser Scanning
We utilise HD colour laser scanners capturing over 1 million points per second to generate dimensionally accurate 3D CAD models. Applications include equipment clash checking, pipework design, and animation package transfers. Our Z&F and Faro scanners support dimensional control surveys for offshore and onshore projects, including hydro dams and flange deviation analysis.
Project Management
Our experienced project managers guide initiatives from concept to completion, aligning with client requirements and business objectives. We specialise in risk mitigation, milestone tracking, and multidisciplinary coordination. This ensures timely delivery of complex engineering projects while maintaining compliance with HSE and industry standards.
CAD Draughting
We offer CAD draughting services using AutoCAD, Inventor, and SolidWorks, producing compliance-certified drawings for structural, mechanical, and electrical scopes. Our team maintains digital twins with cloud backups and conducts compliance reviews for safety-critical Red Line Mark Up contracts, ensuring adherence to HSE requirements through rigorous checking systems.
