Our Process: From Problem to Proven Solution

From acquisition to analysis — accuracy starts with the person/team that captured the measurement data.

With over 30 years of measurement and engineering experience, we follow a structured yet adaptable approach. Some projects run linearly; others loop back to refine understanding — but every stage builds toward one goal: a proven solution.

Step 1 — Investigate

Understand the challenge, the context, and what “good” looks like.

What we do

We start with on-site investigation, conversations with your team, and identification of the parameters that must be measured. Together we define success criteria so everyone knows what “good” looks like. If later findings suggest gaps, we return to investigation to refine understanding before moving forward.

Outcome: Clear definition of the problem and agreed objectives.

Step 2 — Test & Measure

Deliberate, disciplined measurement to capture reality faithfully.

What we do

We select appropriate instrumentation, control conditions for accuracy and repeatability, and capture measurement data that truly reflects system behaviour. These measured results underpin analysis, model updates, and design decisions, and they set the benchmark for final validation in Step 5. The same engineer who performs the measurements also conducts the analysis, ensuring continuity and precise interpretation.

Outcome: Reliable, traceable measurement data that informs design and defines the verification standard.

Step 3 — Analyse

Turn measured data into actionable engineering insight.

What we do

We pinpoint root causes of vibration, noise, or failure; confirm system behaviour against expectations; and refine simulations and analytical models so they match the measured results from Step 2. Because the engineer who captured the data also analyses it, every testing nuance is carried forward — no detail is lost.

Outcome: Precise, evidence-based understanding of the problem, grounded in measurement.

Analysis services: Vibration Analysis and Structural Dynamics. See this in practice in our API 619 compliance case study.

Step 4 — Design

Engineer a robust, practical solution validated before implementation.

What we do

We engineer for performance, compliance, and durability; validate the solution in simulation; and keep it grounded in measured data and analysis to ensure real-world reliability.

Outcome: Fully engineered design, ready for implementation.

Design & verification: Mechanical Design, FEA, Vibration Control.

Step 5 — Support

Prove performance in operation and support the solution in service.

What we do

We implement and verify the solution on-site, test against the original success criteria, and make rapid adjustments if required. This provides definitive proof that the problem has been solved — with ongoing support available.

Outcome: Proven solution, confirmed by final testing, with ongoing support as needed.

In-service support: Maintenance Engineering and Engineering Management.

Why This Process Matters

By combining decades of hands-on experience, precision in measurement, rigorous analysis, and data-grounded design, every solution we deliver is not only well designed — it is proven to work in the real world. Explore outcomes in our Case Studies.
