The right specialist capability, brought into the project when it is needed
A single principal engineer keeps a project coherent and accountable. A trusted network means that same project can still scale to draw on specialist capability whenever the work genuinely requires it.
Principal-led, never anonymous
On every engagement, Richard Hackney remains the principal engineer, the client contact and the mechanical design authority. The network does not change that — it extends the capability available to your project without adding layers between you and the engineer responsible for the work.
The network is exactly that: trusted specialists engaged for their discipline, under controlled terms. They are not employees, and they are not named here without their permission.
Disciplines the network can provide
- Finite element analysis
- Specialist stress analysis
- Electrical design
- Control systems
- Functional safety
- Fabrication and machining
- Installation
- Specialist testing and commissioning
How the network is controlled
Selected for the requirement
Specialists are chosen according to the technical requirement of the project — not a fixed roster kept busy for its own sake.
Controlled scope and confidentiality
Associate competence, scope, confidentiality and deliverables are controlled, so the standard of work and the handling of information stay consistent.
One integrated answer
Richard defines the problem, coordinates the specialists and integrates their work, so the client receives one coherent technical answer — not a bundle of disconnected reports.
Have a project that needs more than one discipline?
Describe the scope. Richard will define the mechanical solution and bring in the specialists the work requires.
