A key element of a successful project is the effectiveness of its document management system. We have a full document
management service in place that allows us to simplify the day-to-day task of tracking and reporting on document status. The
management of revisions to drawings and other files is carried out using the Alfresco document management software.
Provisions are also in place to facilitate access to our Virtual Private Network (VPN) effectively providing clients with seamless
access to generated documentation. All documents are secure with access available at all times to approved users. In accordance
with established quality processes, all data is backed up routinely, ensuring security of client information. Regular backups in the
form of hard copies can be provided to the client, shipped by courier, upon request.
DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
Efficient material and equipment procurement is a key aspect in an ongoing project, with delivery on-time and to budget being a critical
aspect of the project plan. With access to product databases such as MarED, and others, recommended suppliers have been carefully
identified to ensure confidence of supply.
Our expertise lies with the identification of suppliers, goods and services, the negotiation of pricing, terms and conditions and in the
delivery to the end user. We rely on the continuous support of forwarding companies and customs agents to make sure the goods are
delivered at the destination site.
Expediting is a project-management activity implemented as part of the procurement process in order to secure the quality and timely
delivery of goods and components. We regularly perform expediting visits to the manufacturer as well as undertake follow up
communication so as to ensure that required delivery deadlines are respected.
PROCUREMENT
We are committed to an incident-free workplace by providing a safe workplace for our staff and others that work at our premises, but
also by incorporating safety into the design of our products. We operate under a risk management plan developed by a certified third
party, in accordance with local law.
SAFETY
When taking care of the responsibility of a complete package, we develop, implement, and follow up on the application of the
inspection and test plans. We recognize that mistakes or mishaps during production can occur resulting in non conformances, and we
set to make sure we are present to identify, assist, and act upon these incidents as soon as reasonably possible, in order to minimize or
rule out the possibility of an impact on the project schedule.

DESIGN PROCESS
We design and engineer our modules within a full 3D environment,
allowing us to efficiently plan and execute construction, and share
reliable information with the client during the design review process.
This procedure facilitates fine tuning to ensure each module is properly
fitted out, with space and weight constraints in mind, allowing the
client to confirm its fitness for purpose at an early stage of design.
Each and every discipline is included in the 3D model, and potential
interferences identified prior to production drawings being issued for
formal approval.
All participants in the design and manufacturing process are provided
with the same reference model which can be used as supporting
material during clarification discussions. Whenever changes are made
to the model, a controlled revision which is associated to the new
drawing revisions is handed over and propagated to the different
recipients.

OUR WAY
TO WORK
A successful module plan goes through recognized project phases:
Conceptual➔Basic Design➔Detailed Design & Procurement➔
Fabrication➔Installation➔Mechanical Completion & Pre
Commissioning. This plan is subject to the project relationship between
influence and cost. Influence is high in the early phases and drops off
dramatically as decisions are made and costs are committed. By
managing and being engaged on the different project stages we can
identify and act upon potential issues at an early stage so as to
minimize their impact on cost and schedule.
Conceptual and Basic Design Detailed Design
Through this stage, and working closely with the client to
analyze their requirements, we develop a basic engineering
package suitable for use as the basis for detailed design,
including preparation of a +/- 20% cost estimate.
Based on the preliminary design already approved by the
client, we develop and become holders of the 3D model
and produce 2D drawings which will be used for approval
by the Classification Society (where applicable) and
manufacture. Information is shared with the client through
a 3D model which shall be used as basis for discussion
during the different design review stages.
Procurement Construction
Supported by the detailed engineering stage, materiak take-off
(MTO) lists are generated, and equipment specification sheets
prepared and handed over to the client for review and
approval. Depending on client preferences, procurement and
expediting can be carried out by us, or the responsibility
handed over to their procurement staff who will be provided
support as deemed necessary.
Through a series of local collaborators, fabrication of the
modules can be carried out locally under our supervision.
Our direct responsibility lies in providing technical
assistance to the manufacturer, as well as defining and
implementing the inspection and test plan. We also act as
liaisons with the client and surveyors appointed by the
Classification Societies, where applicable.
Installation Mechanical Completion
All the different disciplines need to be incorporated in a
logical sequence into the package, so as to ensure there will
be no interferences. A strategy of construction and
installation is defined during the detailed engineering stage
which will be now implemented.
Once the module is fully assembled it is time to ensure all
different disciplines and sub assemblies are complete with
no outstanding issues preventing the module from being
energized to carry out the functional testing. Together with
the client, check lists are prepared and reviewed onsite to
ensure all relevant issues are identified and acted upon by
all parties involved.

Locations with strict environmental regulations require unique and
integrated waste management solutions, with traditional solutions
resulting in significant expenses in waste transportation and final
treatment and disposal of cuttings. The use of cuttings reinjection
packages allows for significant savings with respect to traditional
approaches, while at the same time ensuring compliance with “zero
discharge” requirements.
The reinjection unit above is installed onboard a Class N jack-
up drilling rig and it is shown undergoing verification prior to
the commissioning stage. OFFSHORE MODULES
CUTTINGS REINJECTION UNITS
Cuttings reinjection has, over the last few years, become
recognized as an environmentally responsible and cost-effective
disposal method for offshore drill cuttings. Our cuttings reinjection
packages, designed to exact specifications and basic design
provided by the customer, are in use in hazardous areas within state
of the art drilling rigs, for continuous injection of seawater and
slurries, drill cuttings, drilling muds and sand into subsea strata,
over a wide range of flows and pressures.
’
All our modules and mechanical packages are designed so as to
comply with strict rules and regulations and are engineered to
operate in harsh and hazardous environments. Where certification
is required by a Classification Society, we liaise and take
responsibility to communicate and support the design review
process, providing documtation and acting upon comments as they
are available.

In order to assess the fitness of a preliminary design, as well as its constructability, we used to rely on
mockups built in wood or using cardboard as a first stage before implementing the computer model. This
procedure allowed us to have a physical representation of the design in hand, an asset which is specially useful
during undergoing discussions.
Nowadays we have access to 3D scanning and printing capabilities inhouse although, given the time it usually
takes for complex models to generate including cleaning and post-processing, we typically outsource
production of this type of mockups to industrial printers for convenience.
Besides 3D scanning and printing capabilities we have just finished installing a new computer server fitted
with two Tesla class computing engines which we intend to use for numerical analysis.
As with software packages and the corresponding training, we regularly invest in new tools and assets that
enable us to supplement our services offerings.
We routinely introduce new software packages that enable to supplement our existing capabilities. This
process involves the physical implementation of the packages, as well as the training in their utilization.
At the present moment we have just finished the introduction of a software package developed by edf,
comprised of a frontend and pre/post processor named salome_meca, and a solver named code_aster. The
application of this software package opens new possibilities in nonlinear analysis (contact simulation,
buckling, etc) as well as thermal analysis, among others.
As part of this process we develop a validation process allowing us to confirm that the simulation results
reflect expected real world results.
NON EXHAUSTIVE
F.A.Q.
COMMON QUESTIONS
WHAT IS YOUR CORE OF EXPERTISE? WILL WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH YOUR TEAM SIDE BY SIDE?
We provide engineering and technical assistance services. Our main
core of expertise is the development of mechanical packages and
offshore modules, and integrating the different engineering packages,
providing technical assistance to the manufacturer and implemeting
inspection plans. While we can collaborate with local manufacturers
and, effectively, supply manufactured packages, our core of expertise is
the supply of technical and engineering know-how and capacity which
are necessary to bring the project from the conceptual stage to the
commissioning stage.
Yes. We normally task one person from our staff as key contact person.
Among their responsibilities, to visit your premises and discuss with
your technical staff during critical project stages such as development
of basic engineering, and scheduled design review meetings. Moreover,
we can integrate with your team remotely and seamlessly through
regular scrum meetings, along with your internal processes and
methodologies. Other arrangements can be discussed on a case by case
basis.
HOW MUCH WILL YOU CHARGE FOR MY PROJECT?
HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR CLIENT?
No two projects are alike. For that reason we are reluctant to give
"ballpark" fee estimates without first discussing the project and
establishing a statement of requirements. We would like to have the
opportunity of having this discussion with you and coming up with a
Cost-Time Resource (CTR) sheet, a document that describes each
major element in the work breakdown structure, including a statement
of work describing the work content, resources required, the time frame
of the work element, and a cost estimate.
We believe that an informed client is a powerful asset to the project
success. We also understand that you may be responsible to provide
regular updates to your internal project management or to the end user,
and we make sure to provide you with regular, reliable updates on each
stage. We can accommodate specific requests for progress reports in
terms of scope and schedule. We recognize that we may face
challenges and difficulties during development of the engineering
packages and we aim to resolve them as they occur, making sure you're
always fully informed.
HOW DO I KNOW I CAN RELY ON YOUR COMPANY?
HOW EASY WILL IT BE TO REVIEW DOCUMENTATION DURING DEVELOPMENT?
We are a small company and we can afford to dedicate time and effort
to you. Each client is critical to our continuous success. While it is not
easy to take anyone at face value, we invite you to place an enquiry and
assess the standard of care and dedication in the response, it will be
representative of the quality of the engineering package and services
which you will receive. We are committed to developing a long and
fruitful relationship with you.
We are committed to professional and honest management practices
and we make sure that our work is always in plain view. Per our quality
system we establish a series of internal milestones where the
engineering package is at a known degree of completeness. Interim
updates can be issued at these stages, frequently so as to have access to
controlled documentation which can be used as part of the design
review process.
