Services
Full engineering support for your projects
AEPW delivers solutions tailored to your energy and industrial projects.
Industrial and process mechanical systems
Design and modernization, including upgrades to Balance of Plant (BOP) auxiliary systems: hydraulic and pneumatic systems, pumping stations and piping.
Steel structures and heavy material handling
Design and optimization of steel structures, lifting systems and heavy material handling equipment.
Technical support in the shop and on site
Manufacturing, installation and rehabilitation of industrial equipment.
Technical management and multidisciplinary coordination
Industrial and energy projects from design to commissioning, on schedule, on budget and to the highest quality standards.
Process
Mechanical design involves the creation, modelling and optimization of components and systems. This is how the process typically runs.
Needs analysis
Specifications, constraints and objectives defined with the client.
Conceptual design
Sketches, schematics and mock-ups to explore ideas and select the best approach.
3D modelling
Detailed CAD models including dimensions, materials, assemblies and functions.
Analysis and simulation
Stress, stiffness and thermal analyses. Simulations identify potential problems and optimize the design.
Prototyping (*)
A physical prototype is built from the 3D model and tested in real conditions.
Validation and iteration
The prototype is tested; changes are made until requirements are met.
Technical documentation
Drawings, specifications and manufacturing or installation instructions.
Interdisciplinary collaboration
Integration with the other technical disciplines on the project.
(*) Prototyping is carried out by an external company chosen by the client.
