Engineering Disciplines
Multiple disciplines, none of them subcontracted.
Every discipline a project needs, run in house on a licensed toolset - onshore and offshore.
What Each Discipline Delivers
The deliverables and the software they are produced in.
Analysis stays with the engineers who own the design rather than being subcontracted out - every tool below is licensed and run in-house.

Project Engineering
We enter at any stage and carry it to the next. Most clients start with a study or a FEED and keep the same team through execution, so there is no handover gap.
- Pre-FEED: concept screening, feasibility, basis of design
- FEED and FEL 1-3 staged front end loading
- Detailed design and discipline deliverables
- Installation engineering: procedures, analysis, workability
- Fabrication engineering and constructability
- Construction and onsite field engineering
- Engineering verification and project management
- Weight takeoffs and workability studies
- STAGES
- Pre-FEED → FEED → FEL 1-3 → Detailed → Installation → Fabrication → Construction
- STANDARDS
- ISO 9001 certified QMS

- Riser design, analysis and integration equipment
- Wye and backbone systems
- Shore approaches, HDD pull-tubes and crossings
- Pipelay analysis and installed-condition checks
- Tie-in, expansion and spool design
- SOFTWARE
- OFFPIPE, OrcaFlex, CAESAR II, PIPESIM, AGA
