Service

Owner’s Engineer & Project Advisory

Owner’s engineer services for vessel owners, operators and developers: specification and tender evaluation, review of the contractor’s or yard’s engineering, class and regulatory liaison, site and yard supervision, and change and claims support through commissioning. Delivered for a barge-to-pipe-lay-barge conversion and for operators’ brownfield programmes.

Owner’s Engineer & Project Advisory

What you receive

  • Technical specification and design basis for the tender; bid evaluation and clarifications
  • Review of contractor and yard engineering against specification, class and codes; comment registers
  • Class, flag and regulator liaison; approval tracking
  • Yard and offshore supervision, inspection witnessing and progress verification
  • Change-order and claim technical assessment
  • Close-out: as-built review, documentation audit, lessons learned

Independent, technical, present

An owner’s engineer earns its fee at three moments: when the specification is written (so the tender prices the right thing), when the contractor’s engineering is reviewed (so the yard builds the right thing), and when the work is witnessed (so the invoice matches reality). We staff all three with the engineers who do design and class work themselves, and we travel to the yard or offshore when it matters.

Delivered

Owner’s advisory for a barge-to-pipe-lay-barge conversion; structural review of five jackets and topsides for an operator; pre-purchase survey and inspection of a vessel before acquisition; 120+ offshore supervision days on a conductor installation campaign.
