Overview
Our Design & Engineering team bridges the gap between your operational needs and build-ready technical solutions.
We combine EC&I, control, safety and OT network expertise to:
- De-risk projects early through clear, standards-based design
- Optimise for build, installation, commissioning and ongoing support
- Ensure safety, cybersecurity and compliance are built in from day one
Whether we are supporting your in-house engineering team or delivering a complete turnkey solution, our designs create a solid foundation for reliable, future-ready automation.
What We Do
Concept & Front-End Design
High-level architectures, block diagrams and load schedules; outline layouts for MCCs, panels and networks.
EC&I Detailed Design
Cable schedules, termination diagrams, loop diagrams, I/O lists, interlock schedules, equipment specifications and bills of materials.
Control system & SCADA design
PLC/SCADA architectures, control philosophies, functional design specifications (FDS), HMI/SCADA screen designs and alarm philosophies.
Functional safety & compliance
Safety requirements, SIL assignment, safety functions, cause & effect matrices and safety-related system design in line with relevant standards.
Industrial networks & cybersecurity by design
OT network topologies, VLAN and firewall strategies, segregation of safety, business and control networks, secure remote access.
Design for manufacture, install & support (DfM/I/S)
Designs optimised for panel build, site installation, testing and long-term maintenance, with clear documentation for future change.
Typical Applications
Our Design & Engineering services support:
New production lines, test rigs and R&D facilities
Upgrades and migrations of legacy PLC/SCADA systems
Smart factory and data-driven modernisation projects
Safety upgrades and compliance programmes
Robotics, AMR/AGV and conveyor systems
Utilities, energy and process plant control systems
Defence and other high-hazard / mission-critical environments
Our Process
Requirements Capture & Management
Engage stakeholders, capture requirements, constraints and interfaces; review existing assets and standards.
Define the Solution
Develop concepts, architectures and technology choices; agree control philosophies and safety approach.
Engineer the detail
Produce full EC&I and control system design packs ready for procurement and manufacture, with traceability back to requirements.
Verify & integrate
Design reviews, calculations and checks; support FAT, SAT and commissioning to prove the design in operation.
Handover & through-life support
As-built documentation, training and ongoing engineering support for modifications and future expansion.
