Grillages and Seafastening Design

Load-spreading structures and deck connections tailored to environmental, project, and vessel-specific requirements, designed in accordance with DNV and relevant class standards. Designs support every campaign stage, including programme planning, loadout, deck layout, vessel stability, and functional requirements, regardless of campaign duration or cargo type.

  • Tailored load-spreading structures and deck connections
  • Compliance with DNV and relevant class requirements
  • Integration with programme, loadout, layout, and stability constraints
  • Designed for campaigns of any duration or cargo type

Installation Aids & Bespoke Tools

Design of temporary and project-specific tools such as lifting and survey frames, handling equipment, deployment fixtures, cable and mooring installation aids, and deck-based supports — engineered for offshore safety, efficiency and practicality.

  • Temporary and project-specific tools
  • Lifting frames and handling equipment
  • Deck-based supports for installation operations
  • Offshore operability-focused design

Temporary Works & Deck Layouts

Engineering of temporary structures, rigging and lashing arrangements, lifting points and vessel deck layouts — including load assessments, global/local checks, motion-driven load cases and full integration with vessel capabilities and RAO data.

  • Rigging arrangements and lifting point design
  • Vessel deck layout engineering
  • Motion-driven load and global/local load checks
  • Full integration with vessel characteristics

Fabrication Support

Technical support for fabrication packages, interface coordination, drawing reviews, build inspections, FAT/SAT testing, and installation readiness. We ensure all items meet specification, class requirements, and offshore operational needs.

  • Interface coordination and technical alignment
  • Drawing and specification review
  • FAT/SAT and fabrication inspections
  • Installation readiness support

Naval Architecture & Structural Analysis

Motions analysis, local and global structural assessments, FEA modelling, load-path evaluation, and design verification — supporting offshore lifts, transport and installation engineering, deck structures, and installation aids.

  • Vessel motions and operability analysis
  • Local and global structural assessment
  • FEA modelling and load-path evaluation
  • Design verification for offshore operations

FEED & Concept Development

Early-stage concept and FEED-level design support and optioneering to assess feasibility, cost, and risk. We provide concept evaluation, weight and fabrication cost estimates, early load assessments, layout studies, and design definition to inform asset selection and construction design – de-risking later engineering and fabrication stages.

  • Concept evaluation and optioneering
  • Weight and fabrication cost estimates
  • Early load assessments and layout studies
  • Design definition to support construction and fabrication planning
