Engineering & Design

With vast experience in both manufacturing operations and design, our process engineers can address all aspects of your project from a practical as well as a theoretical perspective. We combine an extensive knowledge of unit operations with the ability to partner with technology suppliers to ensure you derive maximum benefit.

Full spectrum of engineering and design services are available to ensure successful completion of designs and specifications for multi-disciplinary projects. All designers and engineers are selected on the basis of industry specific experience and know-how.

We continuously strive to produce the most accurate designs as early as possible during the project life-cycle, to minimize costly changes and additions during later phases.

A thorough approach to the conceptual design phase of a project can prove critical to its overall success or failure. Our multi-disciplinary engineers come from a variety of backgrounds, many having worked directly for operating companies. This gives us a broad understanding of operational constraints which may exist both in project design and implementation, and allows us to formulate appropriate strategies to meet your key objectives. Frequently we are able to propose alternative process schemes for evaluation. We can also address constructibility issues at an early stage, in some instances identifying parallel activities which will allow for early project completion with a corresponding improvement in return on investment.

We have a structure built on the foundation of quality detailed engineering practices and management procedures headed by experienced, chartered engineers from specialist chemical/petrochemical industry backgrounds.

As a SimPro client, you are assured of a professional, comprehensive, reliable and flexible approach utilizing modern operational practices. This translates into an extremely competitive service without compromise, often resulting in significant financial savings throughout the project life-cycle.

We have in-house access to appropriate software and systems to ensure the most accurate designs and engineering specifications. Of paramount importance is the maturity to accept that changes occur during the execution phases of a project. With this inevitable fact in mind we have a Changed Documentation and Control System in place to ensure early impact notification and assessment of all valid changes.
