Manufacturing and processing companies are always looking for ways to sustainably grow their business. They need a partner who applies technical knowledge with leading innovation and technology to drive out waste and improve efficiency.
In the UK many of our clients are in the business of processing, refining, handling, manufacturing or treating petrochemicals, gases, water, waste, bulk materials, minerals, food products or manufactured products. We help them reduce bottlenecks, manufacture new products, improve efficiency and upgrade to new technologies through practical plant engineering advice and design.
GHD designs and develops maintenance and upgrade plans for industrial processing plants. We support clients from machine engineering and finite element analysis to fully integrated multi-disciplinary industrial plant design. Our skills include mechanical plant specification and detailed design, plant operation and control systems, pressure vessels and piping, stress analysis, computational fluid dynamic modelling, and power drive and transmission.
We use the latest 3D modelling software to support each phase of project design development, from conceptual and definitive design to construction documentation. We customise our work methods to suit the unique needs of our clients' project development strategies and operations. GHD is employed for due diligence, design consultancy, independent inspection, owner's engineer, and strategic alliances.
Focusing on value for our clients, we integrate permanent works into temporary works designs wherever possible. This principle also underpins our consideration of manufacture and assembly alternatives in our design process to reduce time on site.
By applying our knowledge, experience, and record for innovation, we help our clients to secure sustained growth and improve their flexibility to respond to changing customer and market needs.
