Tech Team

Excellence in Engineering

Tech Team employs a team of highly experienced and skilled design and project engineers, encompassing a wide range of disciplines including mechanical, electrical, process, and structural engineering.  

The Tech team is typically engaged at the inception of the project process; their mandate is to collaborate closely with the client to develop their concept and subsequently produce a comprehensive design package that considers process efficiency, life cycle, and environmental impacts. 

As an engineering design consultancy business, we provide expert advice and guidance on engineering projects.  Our project consultants work with clients to develop, refine, and implement designs for engineering projects.  

What do we do?

Advise on project feasibility

We help clients decide how to start a project, and create cost plans and budgets  

Create project plans

We map out the processes for each task, and assess risks and quality control  

Manage projects

We oversee the project from start to finish, liaising with all parties involved  

Provide technical expertise

We have specialised knowledge in areas like structural, mechanical,
electrical, and environmental engineering  

Lead teams

We may lead teams of designers, engineers, construction workers, and others  

Our Typical Consultation Design Service Includes

Creation and development of Process Flow Diagrams (PFD’s)

Utility Flow Diagrams (UFDs) 
To complement the
process flow and ensure utility requirements are captured early

Mass and energy calculations

What makes us different?

One of the key advantages of using Tech Team is their affiliation with the Richard Alan Group. This connection provides them with invaluable insights into the manufacturing and installation requirements of projects, which the team leverages when designing and advising on the best course of action for any project.

This association offers a significant advantage over other design companies that may prioritise design over the practical aspects of manufacturing, installation and most importantly ongoing maintenance and access to installed equipment.
