• Structural analysis: Our process encapsulates various techniques, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), FEA and classical approaches to evaluate structures, ensuring materials and designs can withstand external forces without compromising performance.

• Computer Aided Engineering (CAE): Through these simulations, we assess and predict how design variations will perform under real-world conditions. This lets us identify potential issues early in the design phase, saving time and resources in the development process and optimising concepts for maximum safety, reliability and efficiency.

• Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Through FEA, we break down complex structures into their elements, enabling us to scrutinise the behaviour of these under various conditions. These simulations reveal potential stress points and allow us to assess dynamic forces that could be impacting structural integrity.

The results of both of these advanced analyses provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how your structures respond to dynamic and cyclic loadings. This allows you to make well-informed decisions about your maintenance strategies and structural enhancements of your assets.

Through this approach, we can determine duty classification ratings and ensure your asset is used in line with its intended design.

Offshore environments are characterised by harsh conditions, including extreme weather and corrosive seawater. These conditions can place significant stress on your equipment and structures, increasing their likelihood of failure.

By identifying potential failure modes and their effects on the asset, as well as analysing the criticality of each failure mode, our team of experts can help you prioritise maintenance and repair activities. This way you can ensure that resources are allocated to address the most critical issues first.

This proactive approach to maintenance allows you to prevent costly breakdowns and minimise downtime, ultimately improving safety and operational efficiency on your producing assets.

Leveraging 20+ years of engineering expertise, our skilled team specialises in analysing complex structures to provide comprehensive assessments and recommendations for improvement - even when the original documentation is missing.

This expertise becomes crucial when dealing with outdated systems and a lack of manuals to reinstate or update them. When compounded by an unavailable OEM, these systems can quickly become a burden to you. That's where we come in: We re-engineer the obsolete components and make sure that your fleet boasts a system as good as new.
