Mechanical engineering solutions, from problem definition to substantiated delivery
We help manufacturers and machine builders solve difficult machinery and equipment problems through mechanical design, calculations, specialist analysis, machinery safety and technical leadership.
Every project is led by an experienced principal mechanical engineer, with trusted specialists added when required.
When the engineering problem does not fit neatly into one discipline
Clients often have a production problem, a proposed machine, a legacy modification or a compliance concern that needs more than CAD. We define the requirement, develop the mechanical solution, coordinate specialists and create the evidence needed for confident decisions.
A new machine or fixture needs defining
You have a production problem or a proposed machine, but not yet a defined requirement, concept or design.
An existing machine needs modifying safely
A change is needed, but the drawings, load paths or conformity position are incomplete or uncertain.
A design needs calculations or substantiation
A concept exists, but it needs first-principles calculations or independent evidence before you can commit.
A project needs senior technical leadership
Several disciplines are involved and the work needs one accountable engineer to hold it together.
Principal led engineering support, matched to the problem
From a focused design review or calculation package to leading an entire mechanical workstream — using a proportionate delivery model.
Mechanical design
Machinery, tooling and equipment developed from a clear requirement through detailed design and manufacturing support.
Explore this serviceCalculations and substantiation
First-principles calculations, coordinated analysis and clear substantiation reports built on well-defined load cases.
Explore this serviceMachinery safety and conformity
Risk reduction, applicable requirements and technical file evidence integrated into the design — not bolted on afterwards.
Explore this serviceMachinery modifications
Reconstruct the engineering basis of existing machinery, assess the change and produce the evidence to proceed responsibly.
Explore this serviceTurnkey engineering delivery
One technical lead defining the mechanical solution and coordinating the specialist team through to handover.
Explore this serviceFractional principal engineer
Reserved access to design leadership, independent review and difficult technical decisions — as much or as little as needed.

A controlled route from engineering problem to practical solution
Define
Clarify the problem, requirements, interfaces and acceptance criteria before design begins.
Develop
Create and compare practical engineering options, and record the reasoning behind the chosen route.
Substantiate
Complete calculations, analysis, risk assessment and design evidence to support the decision.
Deliver
Support manufacture, installation, testing and a controlled technical handover.
Senior engineering judgement, with the evidence to back it
Principal engineer access
You work directly with the engineer leading and accountable for the work, from the first conversation.
Over twenty years across safety-critical sectors
Experience developed in nuclear, defence, aerospace, automotive and advanced manufacturing environments.
A trusted specialist network
FEA, controls, electrical, functional safety, fabrication and testing capability, added when the work requires it.
Clear scopes and controlled documents
Defined deliverables, honest boundaries and evidence you can put in front of a customer or reviewer.
Experience developed across nuclear, defence, aerospace, automotive, special purpose machinery, manufacturing tooling, and lifting and handling equipment. Regulated-sector work is presented at a high level, with confidential information withheld.
