Complete Design Service
Excellence in Engineering
From a single bespoke pressure vessel to a complex turn-key factory expansion, a detailed design is essential to ensure a smooth project delivery, on time and within budget. Our team of designers and draughtsmen specialise in 2D and 3D modelling and can also work with Building Information Modelling (BIM). We create drawings and models from specifications and outline plans, helping clients visualise the final product.
We offer a 3D point cloud scanning service with an accuracy within a few millimetres, ensuring precise and detailed site information. This reduces the need for multiple site visits. Additionally, we can utilize the scan to overlay new structures or equipment, thus preventing potential issues during installation.
Clients approach Richard Alan for straightforward solutions to challenging questions. This includes incorporating complex process pipework into confined spaces, detailing operating conditions, and calculating loads—all tasks handled effortlessly by our engineering design team.
