Services

Specialist engineering from feasibility to release.

We provide engineering capability across the product lifecycle, from early feasibility and RFQ support through product definition, analysis, verification, compliance, manufacturability and final release.

Our Service Structure

Three ways we support engineering firms

General Programme Support

We provide flexible and adaptable engineering capacity when programme demand exceeds internal availability.

You provide: programme priorities, project conflicts, existing processes, blockers and bottlenecks.

You receive: allocated senior engineering capability, expert delivery in applicable disciplines, compressed project delivery timescales, accelerated throughput and output, support without recruitment overhead.

Specific engineering packages

A defined engineering output removed from your backlog and returned complete, allowing operations to advance.

Examples: design release packs (NPI, GD&T, MBD), engineering change implementation, verification and validation support, FAIR preparation.

You receive: defined deliverables, technical records, configuration-controlled outputs, acceptance against key criteria, engineering process optimisation.

Specialist & on-call support

Senior engineering input when a specific requirement arises and you do not need permanent capability.

Access specialist engineering judgement across areas such as GD&T/MBD, V&V, CAD, standards interpretation, supplier issues and technical review.

You receive: rapid access to senior capability, focused technical input and the engineering output required to resolve the issue.

Strengthening your process

Specialist support that strengthens your existing engineering capability

Where the three routes above add direct capability to a programme, these three improve the capability you retain.

Standards & best practice assessments

A short, fixed-price review of how a governing standard is being applied across your live engineering definition, supplier requirements or documentation.

Findings are ranked by consequence, with practical interpretation and recommended actions.

Specialised, specific context you do not hold in-house yet

A technical requirement or specific tool/ software expertise that is too specific to justify permanent capability:

ATEX and DSEAR, CATIA or NX, V&V, GD&T and MBD, tolerance analysis, supplier conformance or an independent technical review.

Training, built around your programme

In-house training taught on your own drawing packages under NDA.

A review tells you where the exposure is; training is how the organisation stops creating it.

01. Design

Mechanical design & product definition

Concept through released definition: architecture, requirements capture, 3D modelling, assemblies and drawing production, maintained under configuration and change control.

The stage where cost and risk are committed, and where they are cheapest to design out.

MODEL

3D CAD & assembly modelling

Parametric part and assembly modelling across SolidWorks, Inventor, NX, Creo and CATIA, to your standards, templates and PLM.

DEFINE

Drawing, MBD & product definition

Production-ready 2D drawings and/or model-based definition with PMI, aligned to ASME Y14.41, ISO 16792, ASME Y14.5, ISO GPS or BS 8888 requirements

CONTROL

Configuration & change

ECN/ECR governance, product breakdown structures, BOM build and technical baseline integrity maintained across the release.

SPECIFY

GD&T & conformance

GD&T interpretation, inspection planning, first article inspection and supplier conformance to ASME, ISO and AS9100 requirements.

Discuss Engineering Capacity →
02. Analyse

Analysis and verification

Validating the design before it enters production.

Structural, thermal and dynamic analysis, tolerance stack-ups, pressure calculations, and the verification documentation your V&V and FAIR processes consume.

Analysis and verification when internal analysis capacity is constrained or specialist capability is required.

FEA

Structural analysis, stress analysis, thermal analysis, pressure systems

Structural, thermal and dynamic analysis to validate designs against load, fatigue and environmental requirements. Pressure-system design and calculation to ASME and DEF STAN.

STACK-UP

Tolerance & stack-up analysis

Worst-case and statistical stack-ups that catch interference and fit failures before assembly, when a fix is at its most expensive to rectify.

DYNAMIC

Global dynamic analysis

OrcaFlex dynamic analysis of subsea systems under fatigue, pressure cycling and marine loading. MATLAB and Simulink modelling for hydraulic, pneumatic and actuation duty cycles and test-data reduction.

Discuss Engineering Capacity →
03. Manufacturability

Manufacturability, DFM & DFA

Making the definition manufacturable: DFM and DFA before over-specification increases cost, complicates production and locks avoidable problems into the product definition.

NPI

New product introduction

NPI packages from concept and feasibility through prototype, validation and production release.

DFM

Design for manufacture

Process, material and feature review against the intended manufacturing method, taking cost out before it is committed in tooling.

DFA

Design for assembly

Part-count reduction, accessibility and error-proofing so the build is efficient and does not invite misassembly.

DOCUMENTATION

Production documentation

Manufacturing specifications, process layouts, work instructions and tooling definition to support production and handover.

Discuss Engineering Capacity →
04. Quality Assurance & Inspection

Quality, conformance, inspection & release.

Assuring the design meets its requirements and that conformance can be demonstrated through inspection, evidence and controlled release.

FAIR

First article inspection

FAIR support, dimensional report review, and GD&T conformance sign-off on critical components.

NCR

Non-conformance & concession support

Full NCR lifecycle from raise and containment through disposition, concession approval and corrective-action close-out.

RCCA

Root-cause; corrective action

8D, 5 Whys, Ishikawa and DMAIC from containment through systemic correction, feeding lessons back into design standards.

MSA

Metrology & measurement

CMM and FARO-arm data interrogation, GD&T verification, gauge R&R and measurement-system analysis to ISO/IEC 17025.

Intergrated and Embedded within each Engineering stage

Standards judgement that makes the output robust

Standards are not a separate discipline. They govern how the engineering is defined, manufactured, inspected and accepted.

The question is not simply whether a requirement is technically permissible. It is whether the requirement is appropriate to the function, manufacturable, inspectable and defensible when it reaches the supplier or customer.

INTERPRETATION

Standards application & interpretation

Applying ASME, ISO, BS EN, DEF STAN, AS9100, AS9102, ATEX and DSEAR requirements in the context of the actual engineering work.

GAP ANALYSIS

Compliance gap assessment

Reviewing existing design, documentation or supplier output against the governing requirements, with findings ranked by consequence and a practical route to compliance.

EVIDENCE

Compliance documentation & technical files

Technical files, Inspection & Test Plans, verification specifications, examination schemes and supporting compliance documentation.

SUPPLY CHAIN

Requirement flow-down

Translating customer and regulatory requirements into supplier specifications, ITPs and acceptance criteria.

CROSS-STANDARD

Multi-regime harmonisation

Reconciling requirements where ASME, ISO, BS 8888, customer specifications or legacy definitions intersect within the same supply chain.

We interpret, apply and evidence requirements. Certification, approval and release authority remain with your organisation, notified body or design authority.
