Facilities Engineering delivery team
The AMEC Facility Engineering Delivery Team provides multi-discipline
engineering services to a variety of Upstream Oil and Gas Customers for both
onshore and offshore facilities.
Already six clients are supported by the engineering team with the support of a lean management and
services team. Where value adding, our Front End Study Group or advanced engineering capabilities of the
Consultancy Services Team can be engaged. The consistency of ongoing delivery to a multitude of customers
is an excellent environment for the capture of the companys best practice with ongoing feedback from each.
Our systems and processes in support of engineering, continually strive for excellence and this is evident in
our approach to planning, cost control, supply chain management, document control, workpack and
commissioning preparation. Our total commitment to safety through Beyond Zero applies to all those involved
in the design, installation and operation of our services.
This centralised team enables us to provide a engineering services including specialist
disciplines on demand through call-off type contracts, eliminating the costs associated with
a permanent engineering support team with dedicated management.
Each of our customers have a direct point of contact nominated to ensure that their specic
requirements are fully met; technically and commercially, in the timescales necessary with
our emphasis in the area of production related modications.
The Facilities Engineering Delivery Team consists of engineers motivated to deliver by taking ownership,
driving the solution and the success in terms of cost and schedule. All team members are encouraged to
develop and further themselves through the Facility Engineering organisation, from doing, to managing work
and on to direct support in our clients organisations.

Established providers of a wide range of advanced engineering solutions in
support of a diverse range of projects. The principal services include materials
engineering, advanced engineering services and production assurance.
Consultancy Services
Optimisation of Greeneld jacket and topsides design achieved through the integration
of design analysis and safety case analysis into the design process.
Justication for the continued safe operation of structures, pressure vessels and
pipework damaged by corrosion, fatigue or impact using NLFEA, fracture mechanics
and QRA techniques.
Demonstration of existing structural capacity to carry additional topside facilities
whilst minimising offshore strengthening requirements.
Development and comparison of equipment and systems by predicting life cycle
behaviour patterns through RAM analysis.
Advanced analysis techniques have been applied in numerous applications and have
achieved substantial benets in optimising greeneld designs, modications or
maintenance costs, whilst demonstrating integrity, safety & reliability are not
compromised. Typical applications have included:
