Mechanics & Strength
Our mechanical engineering services cover the development, design and analysis of structures and assemblies for industrial and marine applications. We produce calculations, 3D models and technical documents for each project phase. We consider fabrication, assembly and operating requirements throughout the design process.

Services
We design and size steel structures, mechanical systems and assemblies. We handle feasibility studies, concept, preliminary and detailed design, and the design for fabrication. Depending on the project, we take on individual calculation and design packages or complete work packages within an agreed scope.
We use 3D CAD to model assemblies, jigs and special-purpose structures. From these we produce workshop drawings, parts lists and technical documentation.
Fabricators, assembly teams and engineers work from these documents in the later project phases.
Our steel structure design work covers the analysis and design of load-bearing steel structures to the applicable standards and rules. We develop sections, joints and bolted and welded connections, and produce the associated workshop drawings and parts lists.
Fabrication and assembly teams work from these documents.
We analyse strength, stability and fatigue of structures and assemblies and verify them for the specified operating conditions and service life. Where it is useful, we use the results of the strength analysis to produce maintenance and inspection plans.
For finite-element and analytical calculations we use ANSYS, RFEM, RSTAB and MathCAD. The results inform design, sizing and technical documentation.
We produce detailed designs, workshop drawings, parts lists and technical documentation. Depending on the project, we take on individual work packages or an agreed scope covering several project phases.
We also review existing designs and assess how proposed changes would affect design, fabrication and operation.
We develop and calculate monopiles, jackets, tripods and transition pieces.
We take into account the requirements arising from soil conditions, load assumptions and installation methods.
Utilisation and strength
Calculation results inform the design. We assess changes during design development.
Our project experience includes machine foundations, steel structures, and marine and offshore structures. We also provide structural engineering services for these. We assess loads, connections, bearings, anchorages and the operating conditions of the structure.
We produce strength, stability and fatigue verifications to the applicable standards and rules.

Projects
We have designed and calculated structures for offshore, heavy-lift and industrial projects.
Depending on the project, we designed complete assemblies or delivered defined calculation and design packages.
