Weight and Cost Optimisation
We take pride in our ability to save our clients time and money through engaging with them at pre-engineering stages to ensure that we can maximise weight and cost savings.
We have extensive experience in reducing the weight of fire, blast and heat hazard protection equipment – without compromise to the design and product capabilities – that has significantly benefited our clients in high hazard industries.
Not only are the benefits clear for saving fuel during transport, but through combining optimized materials, more efficient systems and effective fixing methods, this leads to reductions in installation time and maintenance, contributing to both financial and weight savings.
Design services include:
- FEED and Feasibility studies
- 3D modelling and rendering services
- Full end-to-end service from pre-engineering to client handover
- Focus on optimised weight and cost savings through innovative design solutions and performance engineering
- Fire, blast, solar, wind, HVAC, electrical, seismic and noise reduction optimization studies
- Full certification to Lloyds and DNV standards
TE has achieved savings for a range of international clients through optimization of its prefabricated fire and blast wall systems compared to the traditional flat plate [FP] system:
