Design

In-house mechanical design to all major internationally recognised pressure vessel codes and standards. Complete design packages including calculations, CAD drawings, FEA analysis and 3D printing services.

Core Capability

Mechanical Design
& CAD Services

We produce mechanical designs to all the major internationally recognised pressure vessel design codes and standards. Our in-house engineering team delivers comprehensive design packages including full calculations and CAD drawings.

We use AutoCAD® and Solidworks® software to produce detailed design packages. Third-party verification is available from notified body engineers when required.

Advanced Analysis

Finite Element
Analysis (FEA)

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) can be used to assess stress concentrations in more complex fabrications, where traditional calculation methods may not be sufficient.

Our FEA capability allows us to analyse and optimise complex geometries, ensuring that pressure vessels meet the most stringent safety and performance requirements while minimising material use and weight.

Visualisation

3D Printing
Services

We offer 3D printing to create replica plastic scale models of your vessel design, or a particular component, giving you a physical representation before fabrication begins.

These models are ideal for client presentations, design review meetings, and for assessing assembly sequences and access requirements on complex vessels and skid packages.
