Consolidated figures reflect our team's collective delivery
The questions we hear most from operators, contractors and port authorities evaluating an engineering partner.
We are a multidisciplinary offshore, marine and pipeline engineering consultancy. Our services span concept and FEED studies, detailed engineering, 3D modeling, construction and installation engineering support, site supervision, and independent owner’s engineering across the full asset lifecycle.
Our deliverables are aligned with ABS, DNV, Lloyd’s Register (LR), Bureau Veritas (BV) and IRS class requirements, and with international codes and standards including IMO, ASME, API, DNV-ST-F101 and PD 8010 — validated through third-party inspection (TPI) where required.
Yes. We take offshore platforms, subsea pipelines, FPSO/FLNG facilities and marine terminals from front-end engineering design (FEED) through detailed engineering, class approval drawings and as-built documentation.
SP3D, AVEVA E3D and AutoCAD (including Plant 3D and Civil 3D) for design and modeling; SACS, STAAD.Pro, ANSYS and Abaqus for structural analysis; Maxsurf, GHS, MOSES and OrcaFlex for naval architecture and hydrodynamics; CAESAR II and PIPESIM for piping stress and flow assurance.
Yes — vessel conversions are a core capability, including OSV-to-WSV (well stimulation vessel) conversions, FPSO/FLNG hull and topsides engineering, stability and mooring analysis, and class approval management.
We are headquartered in Mumbai, India, and deliver projects worldwide for operators, EPC contractors, shipyards and port authorities across offshore oil & gas, LNG, marine infrastructure and coastal engineering.
Yes. We act as independent owner’s engineer and third-party reviewer — verifying designs, reviewing contractor deliverables, and providing technical advisory through construction, installation and commissioning.
