Engineered Solutions

The complexity of the technical challenges within technology design and project development requires continual attention to detail to achieve high reliability performance. Astrimar's engineering design and development project services are supported by design for reliability and technical risk management.

Our Engineering & Analysis Services

Astrimar’s technology-led services provide specialised engineering, design and analysis services through the entire project life cycle from concept development and detailed design through to project engineering, supporting installation and ongoing inspection, repair and maintenance activities and decommissioning works. Reliability, integrity and technical risk management are at the heart of every project.

Reliability by Design

Our specialised approach is based on Design for Reliability practices, in line with API RP 17N, API RP 17Q, ISO 20815 and DNV RP A203.  This drives attention to engineering detail, developing an understanding of potential failure modes as the project progresses from early in the concept phase. This approach enables the technical risks to be better managed through design and technology qualification. Operations are better informed by an understanding of failure modes, to reduce the risk of equipment failure with the potential to reduce the financial risk of design, manufacture, construction and operations.
