We specialise in delivering systems engineering consultancy services across a broad spectrum of high hazard industries. We offer a full suite of services to support the engineering lifecycle, from concept through to decommissioning, and help clients manage the complex challenges inherent in high-risk environments.

System Architecture

We design robust, scalable system architectures that meet safety, operational, and regulatory requirements from the outset. Our team ensures that each architecture is well-integrated, fault-tolerant, and able to support both current and future needs.

We also perform Trade-off Analysis to evaluate different design alternatives to optimise for cost, performance, and risk.

Requirements Engineering and Management

We define clear, traceable, and verifiable requirements for your system, ensuring that all stakeholders’ needs are captured and addressed. We manage these requirements throughout the lifecycle, ensuring they are consistently met.

Testing Planning & Design of Bespoke Trials

We develop detailed test plans to ensure that systems are rigorously tested to prove successful integration and to validate performance, reliability, and compliance to requirements. Whether testing against pre-defined test standards or designing bespoke trials, our approach ensures that tests simulate real-world operational conditions.

Integration, Verification & Validation

Integration, Verification & Validation (IVV) encompasses:

• The Integration of disparate components into a unified, fully operational system.

• The Verification of a system against functional, stakeholder and regulatory requirements.

• The Validation of a System to ensure that it is fit for purpose and meets customer and end user needs. 

We understand the importance of early IVV planning and progressive assessment. Our approach ensures successful IVV through ensuring that:

• The correct analysis, inspection, demonstration, and test events are planned and executed when needed.

• Shortfalls are minimised and identified as early as possible to reduce project risk.

• Complete and comprehensive evidence is produced to support compliance claims.

Risk Management

We help clients identify, assess, and mitigate risks throughout the lifecycle of their projects. Our approach is focussed on:

• Identifying potential risks early in the development process and assessing their likelihood and impact.

• Developing strategies to mitigate risks, including design changes, contingency plans, or additional testing.

• Continuously monitoring risks throughout the system’s lifecycle to ensure that new issues are addressed promptly.

Lifecycle Management

Our systems engineering services cover every phase of a system’s lifecycle, from design and operation to decommissioning. We focus on optimising performance, reducing costs, and extending the lifespan of assets through effective lifecycle management. We also develop plans for system maintenance, upgrades, and troubleshooting once the system is operational.

Engineering Surveillance and Material Degradation

We have expertise in producing Engineering Surveillance Plans to monitor, assess and validate systems throughout their lifecycle to ensure ongoing performance, reliability, and safety. This includes identifying potential issues before they become critical, improving decision-making, and maintaining regulatory compliance through in-service surveillance and analysis.

We evaluate the condition of materials and components used in critical systems to assess the rate and risk of material degradation caused by environmental conditions, wear, and fatigue. This proactive approach helps extend the service life of assets and prevent unexpected failures.

Regulatory Compliance and Assurance

We guide clients through the complexities of regulatory frameworks, ensuring compliance with safety, environmental, and operational standards.

Hazard & Risk Analysis

We conduct detailed hazard and risk analysis to identify potential threats to safety, operational continuity, and system integrity. Our approach involves designing and implementing measures to mitigate identified risks.

Safety Case Support

We assist clients in preparing and maintaining safety cases for high-hazard operations, ensuring all risks are identified, managed, and controlled in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Project Management and Coordination

We support your project management efforts, assisting with planning, scheduling, and resource management to ensure the timely and successful delivery of your systems.

Training & Knowledge Transfer

We believe in empowering your team with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed. Our bespoke training sessions are designed to equip your staff with the necessary expertise in systems engineering processes, tools, and methodologies, ensuring they can take the lead on future projects.
