FEED and Engineering Consultancy
Optimised performance from a well-planned approach
From feasibility to execution, engineered to perform.
A rigorous, front-end approach that de-risks delivery and optimises performance from day one.
Concept design and feasibility studies
Working with you from the outset, our seasoned engineers lay the foundation for your operations' success by establishing your campaign's goals, scope and requirements through concept design studies. We will explore different options, identify risks and challenges, and give you a preliminary cost estimate, providing a clear roadmap for the development of your project.
Meanwhile, our front-end engineering design (FEED) studies delve deeper into the technical engineering and operational aspects of your mission. During this stage, we will carry out detailed engineering and design work, high-level budget and procurement planning, and will provide you with a comprehensive schedule to manage the project's timeline and resources.

Gap Analysis
Effectively managing your assets requires identifying and addressing performance and maintenance gaps that could lead to breakdowns or project delays. By evaluating your current operational practices and equipment reliability, we can pinpoint these gaps and minimise associated risks.
We support the integrity of your critical assets by assessing their condition, reliability and maintenance practices, including spare parts availability, maintenance strategies and lifecycle management. By reviewing your inspection and testing procedures, we help identify and mitigate potential defects or non‑conformities, ensuring issues are resolved before they impact operations.
We also assess and support the integration of new technologies into your existing systems to improve efficiency, reduce costs and enhance the overall safety of your operations.
Structural analysis and FEA of offshore structures
Our process combines Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and classical engineering methods to evaluate structural performance and ensure designs can withstand external forces without compromising reliability.
Using CAE, we simulate how design variations behave under real‑world conditions, allowing early identification of issues and optimising concepts for maximum safety, reliability and efficiency during the design phase. Through FEA, we examine structural behaviour in detail by breaking down components into smaller elements, revealing stress concentrations and assessing how dynamic forces may impact integrity.
Together, these analyses provide a clear understanding of how your structures respond to dynamic and cyclic loading, enabling informed decisions on enhancements and confirming appropriate duty classifications. Building on these insights, we also re‑rate existing assets to ensure they remain compliant and aligned with new loading requirements or regulatory expectations.
Failure modes, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA)
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.
Risk assessment
Our risk assessments provide a clear understanding of potential hazards, focusing on their likelihood and impact to create effective mitigation strategies.
We identify vulnerabilities, such as equipment failures or safety risks, and prioritise them based on their potential to disrupt operations. From there, we collaborate with your team to develop targeted solutions that address these risks while enhancing overall resilience.
By proactively managing risks, we help ensure compliance with industry standards, reduce the chance of downtime and keep your operations running smoothly.
