Engineering work where behaviour, scale, and constraints matter
We support industrial teams in moving from experimental concepts to operable, manufacturable systems, with a focus on validation, redesign, and risk reduction.
Typical engagements include technical assessments, cost-down redesigns, engineered budget estimates, pilot systems, productisation work, and early industrial scale-up.
On-site engineering assessment
Focused, on-site assessment of existing production systems through observation and technical analysis.
Used to:
identify bottlenecks, constraints, and failure modes
understand system behaviour under real operating conditions
inform targeted redesigns, cost-down measures, or follow-up engineering work
The outcome is a clear, technically grounded view of where intervention will have the most impact.
-
manufacturable design packages
supplier and fabrication input
support during build and integration
Engineered budget estimate
-
structured technical assessment
identified risks, assumptions, and decision points
clear recommendations for redesign or next steps
A technically grounded cost and effort estimate for systems that do not yet fully exist.
Used when:
moving from lab or pilot work toward investment or scale-up decisions
validating whether a concept can be built, installed, and operated within realistic constraints
comparing alternative architectures or development paths
Estimates are based on engineering structure, not extrapolation.
Design and development of pilot and early industrial systems where behaviour, not performance, is the primary unknown.
The focus is on:
translating experimental setups into engineerable system architectures
validating stability, controllability, and repeatability under representative conditions
designing for access, maintenance, and failure recovery
integrating safety, CE, PED, and ATEX constraints early
Systems are specified to a level suitable for fabrication and installation, with manufacturing and assembly constraints considered as part of the engineering work.
Support for sourcing, fabrication, and assembly of pilot and early industrial systems through an established industrial network.
This includes:
identifying and engaging suitable suppliers and fabricators
supporting prototype and low-volume manufacturing
managing build-time constraints and practical integration issues
ensuring feedback from fabrication informs ongoing design work
Manufacturing support runs in parallel with engineering, exposing design decisions to real industrial constraints before scale-up commitments are made.
This work often supports the transition from bespoke systems to repeatable designs suitable for series production.
