Whale Engineering boasts a 20-plus strong team of support engineers, all of whom are fully-trained and highly-experienced to deliver a diverse range of engineering services covering specialisms such as:
Computer Aided Design
In terms of computer aided design, all engineers posses excellent technical know-how to provide cost-effective solutions, irrespective of challenges that may be face in terms of size and scale of operations, and which exceed a customer’s expectations.
Heavy Engineering Cad capabilities
-
Design of products/equipment as per standards and codes especially ASME VIII
-
Detailed development of product design through concept derivation
-
Design of joints/fabrication process and manufacturing engineering support
-
Preparation of intermediate BOM for procurement & submission of final BOM during completion of project
Finite Element Analysis
Applying this process to initial, effective material selection ensures that design strength and product reliability are assured from the outset, with FEA also providing a detailed understanding of the root cause of possible failures and accidents so that important product enhancements can be successfully implemented. As such, one of the key benefits of FEA is its ability to reduce physical testing costs by almost 80%.
The analysis processes undertaken by Whale Engineering include:
-
Linear and non-linear static: Response of structure to critical loads and modelling of contact (allowing analysis of assemblies), non-linear material behaviour and large deformations
-
Forensic engineering: failure analysis and root cause diagnostic, reconstruction of impact and accident using simulation
-
Fatigue (multi axial and vibration fatigue analysis): Predict the life of a structure subjected to cyclic loading or vibrations
-
Optimization: Parametric and Topological
Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)
Whale Engineering has unrivalled experience in critical computational fluid dynamics both internally and through its association with leading, outsourced CFD consultants
Capabilities include:
-
Steady state and transient CFD simulations of internal/external liquid and gas flows
-
Analysis, design and optimisation of immersed or surrounding components
-
Incompressible, transonic and compressible flows
Product Design & Development
Product design and development understandably lies at the very heart of the engineering service provision of Whale Engineering. From initial concept development, a skilled team fully conversant with the latest CAD tools and technologies has the capacity to create effective product designs to meet a customer’s operational requirements.
From the design stage, Whale Engineering works with clients throughout the product development process in a fully-structured and transparent manner, whether in relation to materials processing and forming, and in conjunction with a proven and effective supply chain.
Product Support & Testing
Putting in place the correct and required support systems is of critical importance to the success of any product. At Whale Engineering this extends to the production of all relevant operating manuals, technical documentation, program encryption and troubleshooting, the aim being to provide value-added support to both the product itself and the customer.
With a proven track record in the design and manufacturing of pressure vessels, the safety and analysis capabilities of Whale Engineering remain at the forefront of the industry. For example, Each and every pressure vessel undergoes radiographic testing to analyse the quality of all welds. The same is equally applicable to castings, where each one undergoes a series of ultrasonic tests to guarantee quality of manufacture.
In many instances, Whale Engineering’s utilises additional safety equipment, for example, the use Pressure Relief Valves integrated in pressure tanks. Multi filters on air flows and liquid lines are also deployed to deliver improved product reliability.
Re-Engineering
Reverse engineer and re-engineer components that have already been manufactured is a service that Whale Engineering is increasingly called on to effectively implement. It is a process that involves the following specific elements:
-
Research & Analysis
-
Material Selection
-
Function Definition
-
Assessment
-
Benchmarking
-
Specification Development
-
Photo Realistic Rendering
-
Aesthetic & Ergonomic Design
