Design verification

Minimise the commercial impact of new

build, re-build and conversion projects
by opting for professional assistance
that verifies the chosen design solutions,
novel as well as conventional.
Todays technology prompts owners,
operators and yards to design projects
far more ambitious than ever
cutting costs and construction time by
optimising performances.

Professional and effective design verification

Your new build, rebuild or conversion project is always at risk
of being compromised by unexpected design issues: poor
manufacturing or unmet building specifications.
New technology requirements continue to challenge owners,
operators and yards to set new standards for design which
increases performance and reduces manufacturing and operating
costs. Todays commercial shipbuilding is being challenged by
globalisation, with a significant growth in ship yards and a span in
quality of manufacturing.
This challenge to shipbuilding calls for a new level of design
verification. As owner, operator or yard technical guidance and
support from a third party consultancy will help ensure that your
project is delivered on time, according to expectations and within
budget avoiding unfortunate consequences for continued
operation that easily becomes costly for all parties involved.
