Solutions
We Provide
Rotating Machine Engineering
We deliver comprehensive rotordynamics analysis, including critical speeds, stability margins, and response analysis.
This supports informed design decisions on rotors, shafts, couplings, bearings and their placement, damping strategies, and sealing solutions. Our work enables robust and reliable machine operation, improves service life, and reduces the risk of vibration issues. The analysis is aligned with API 684 and established industry best practices.
Typical applications include the design and development of pumps, compressors, turbines, and other rotating equipment.
Mechanical Systems Assessment
We deliver actionable design recommendations and structural optimisation for mechanical systems where strength, durability, and performance are critical.
This is achieved through comprehensive structural finite element analysis (FEA), including stress, fatigue, and buckling (stability). We analyse both linear and non-linear models, including plasticity and contact, under static and dynamic loading conditions. The work supports informed design decisions, reduces failure risk, and improves operational lifespan. The assessment can be aligned with relevant industry standards such as ASME or ISO where required.
Typically applied to frames, casings, pressure-containing components, and other mechanical structures.
Standards Compliance Verification
We provide structured assessments aligned with key industry standards, including API, ISO, and ASME.
Our work verifies design compliance and supports certification requirements across mechanical and rotating systems. We also advise on vibration testing and qualification, including ICL and MIL-STD methodologies.
The assessment ensures regulatory alignment and reduces risk across design, validation, and operation.
Research & Technology Consultancy
We support research and technology (R&T) development by translating complex academic concepts into practical engineering solutions.
Combining deep academic expertise with industry experience, our team evaluates emerging technologies, develops innovative concepts, and integrates state-of-the-art methods and designs into mechanical systems. This enables clients to bridge the gap between theory and application and to progress innovation from early-stage research through to deployment.
This service is particularly valuable for organisations developing new technologies or bringing innovative concepts to market.
Predictive Maintenance Implementation
We design and implement predictive maintenance solutions that combine physics-based methods and data-driven approaches.
Our work integrates ISO 13373 vibration diagnostics with machine learning techniques, including unsupervised models (e.g. autoencoders), supervised fault classification, and trend-based prediction. This enables earlier fault detection, improved diagnostics, and more informed maintenance decisions. Solutions can be applied to existing datasets or integrated into IoT platforms and monitoring systems.
Typically applied by IoT providers, manufacturing sites with condition monitoring data, and organisations seeking to enhance their diagnostic capabilities.
Vibration Engineering
We provide end-to-end vibration engineering support, from prediction and system modelling through to measurement, analysis, and operational diagnostics.
Our capabilities include experimental design, data acquisition, advanced signal analysis, and non-linear system identification. We also develop and implement vibration mitigation solutions, including passive and active isolation. This enables clients to understand, measure, and control vibration beyond the limits of standard tools. We support the development of in-house testing capabilities and bespoke solutions for complex vibration challenges.
Typical applications include product development, troubleshooting, and endurance testing.
