Engineering Capabilities

Engineered from process fundamentals, validated by simulation

The technical depth to improve capacity, fuel flexibility and emissions, not just draw equipment to specification.

Engineering disciplines

Process & pyro

Modifications to the hottest, most critical parts of the plant, engineered from process fundamentals.

Multi-channel burner firing into a cement kiln
  • Calciner and top-stage modification
  • Feed-pipe and air-slide changes
  • Downcomer, TAD and AQC duct design
  • NOx-mitigation concepts
  • Burner and heat-exchanger design

CFD / FEA

Computational fluid dynamics and finite-element analysis to simulate and validate flow, separation, thermal and structural performance before fabrication.

Civil & structural

Structures designed for real loads and buildable on site.

  • Preheater columns and equipment structures
  • Sheds and foundations
  • Tekla fabrication and erection drawings
  • Third-party design approval

Design & digital

3D laser scanning, reverse engineering, and GA, OL and fabrication drawings in SolidWorks and AutoCAD, with clash-checked 3D models.

From scan to shop drawing

We capture existing plants and regenerate accurate models and manufacturing drawings, de-risking upgrades and bringing obsolete equipment back into supply.

  1. Scan

    3D laser scanning of the existing plant.

  2. Model

    Clash-checked 3D layouts and models.

  3. Draw

    GA, OL and fabrication drawings in SolidWorks and AutoCAD.

  4. Supply

    Legacy and obsolete parts reverse-engineered back into supply.
