Frazer-Nash has extensive experience of engineering for the marine environment, including the challenges of survivability, reliability and hydrodynamic response. Our work for device developers includes independent assessment and direct design support.

We have in-depth understanding of technology development programmes across a wide range of industries. This allows us to provide device developers with support which is closely aligned to their goals. For instance, when we undertake reliability assessment, we provide recommendations on how to apply the insights gained from that assessment. This could lead to changes in design or maintenance philosophy.

Our services to device developers includes:

  • Technology development & management
  • Structural & electrical design
  • Fluid structure interaction
  • Reliability assessment
  • Supportability
  • System performance
  • Resource assessment
  • Grid studies
  • Project management
  • Health & safety assurance
  • Environmental impact assessment
  • Development of SME business processes
