Services

Engineering Services

Detailed engineering and design is our primary service, with pre-bid engineering as the next engagement. Both apply across six infrastructure sectors, delivered through two core disciplines: electrical, and civil and structural.

By engagement

Engineering services

What we do for a project, from tender to post-award design and site support.

Primary service

Detailed Engineering & Design

Post-award design criteria, calculations, drawings, schedules, BOQ and comment resolution through to final submission. Our main commercial service.

Detailed Engineering & Design
Next engagement

Pre-Bid / Tender Engineering

Specification and MDL review, preliminary SLD and layouts, quantity take-off, offer and GTP comparison, and clarifications for EPC bids.

Pre-Bid / Tender Engineering
By scope

Engineering Studies

Earthing, lightning protection, short circuit, load flow, insulation coordination and other studies, each offered on a stated basis.

Engineering Studies
Review

Equipment, GTP & Offer Review

Technical evaluation of supplier offers, GTP and vendor drawing review, and inspection and FAT witness support where contracted.

Equipment, GTP & Offer Review
As contracted

Site, Commissioning & O&M Support

Site and vendor query responses, SCADA signal mapping, commissioning advisory and O&M technical support, as contracted.

Converter stations and interfaces

HVDC Engineering

Converter-station engineering, equipment specification and review, and study support for bipole and back-to-back schemes, as contracted.

HVDC Engineering

By discipline

Engineering disciplines

Electrical and civil/structural are disciplines. Substations, renewable plants, storage, lines and HVDC are the infrastructure they serve.

Discipline

Electrical Design & Engineering

SLD and key diagrams, AIS/GIS layouts, conductor and busbar calculations, earthing and lightning protection, equipment ratings, auxiliary AC/DC, cables, illumination, and protection and SCADA interfaces where in scope.

Electrical Design & Engineering
Discipline

Civil & Structural Design & Engineering

Site grading, steel structures, equipment and transformer foundations, oil containment, control and GIS buildings, cable trenches, drainage, roads and fencing, with reinforcement drawings, BBS and quantities.

Civil & Structural Design & Engineering

Ways to engage

A complete package

A defined discipline package, such as the electrical or civil design of a substation, taken through to final issue.

An individual calculation or drawing set

Earthing, bus calculations, a foundation design or a tower check, prepared against your design basis.

Review and checking

Vendor drawings, GTPs, offers or an existing design reviewed against the specification.
