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.
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
Process simulation & modelling
Where required, to support mass/energy balances, equipment sizing, and sensitivity analysis

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.
