Validated Designs
Designs proven by analysis, measurement, and testing — not assumptions. Faster certification, fewer surprises, higher reliability.
Mechanical Engineering Consultants
Mechanical Engineering Services
We connect vibration analysis, structural dynamics, FEA, testing, and mechanical design to deliver validated, durable solutions. Where numerical models and tests diverge, we apply model updating to raise predictive confidence — ensuring products operate reliably and resiliently in their immediate environment, duty cycle, and meet design requirements.
Chartered engineers delivering vibration & structural dynamics, CAD/Mechanical Design, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), instrumentation & measurements, environmental & vibration testing, compliance, and engineering management.
Sectors: aerospace, automotive off-highway, industrial, manufacturing, oil & gas, building services, product design, recycling & mining.
What We Deliver
Evidence-Led Decisions
Decisions grounded in measured data: we measure, analyse, and update models to ensure predictive accuracy.
Compliance From Day One
We design to BS/EN/ISO, API, DO-160, Mil-Std-810 from the outset — reducing programme risk and rework.
Core Services
Mechanical Design (CAD)
Concept-to-detail design aligned to loads, environments, and compliance targets.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Strength, fatigue, modal, shock — calibrated to measured data where available.
Vibration & Structural Dynamics
Diagnostics, resonance mitigation, and design with dynamics from day one.
Measurements & Instrumentation
Field measurements, modal testing, and traceable data acquisition to inform decisions.
Environmental & Vibration Testing
DO-160 / Mil-Std-810 testing and verification for real-world readiness.
Model Updating
Align models to test so predictions match reality and confidence increases.
Compliance & Evidence Packs
Traceable notes, calculations, and test results prepared for certification.
Engineering Management
Requirements, risk, delivery — aligned to programme needs and certification path.
Failure Investigation
Root-cause analysis and corrective design to restore reliability and uptime.
Selected Outcomes
First-Time Certification Pass
Avionics housing re-designed with updated FEA and vibration testing — passed on retest.
Extended Service Life
Pump skid fatigue cracking resolved via dynamics, FEA, and strain data — life markedly increased.
Manufacturing Reliability
Weldments & stiffeners redesigned after correlated FEA — uptime and fatigue life improved.

About the Director
Paul Schmitz, MBA CEng MIMechE MIoA — Chartered Mechanical & Acoustical Engineer with 29 years in vibration, dynamics, testing, FEA, and reliability across aerospace, oil & gas, manufacturing, and research.
“Vibration is the Achilles’ heel of mechanical engineering — we design with dynamics from day one.”
Standards & Compliance
We design and validate to BS/EN/ISO, API, RTCA/DO-160, and Mil-Std-810, preparing evidence packs for certification. (Institutes do not endorse companies; membership applies to individuals.)
