Systems Engineering

By applying a systems engineering approach, BMT analyses complex problems and identifies and assesses the best possible solutions for our customers. Our systems engineers work with the customer to engage stakeholders and capture requirements as well as providing through life costing and investment appraisals, trade off analysis, technology readiness assessments, and technology planning.

Naval Architecture

BMT has an enviable reputation in naval architecture. Our naval architects take a holistic view of design from initial concept, through feasibility studies, Class level and detailed production drawings as well as in-service support. Our customers can rely on our naval architects and designers to make enhanced performance and reliability their priorities.

Marine Engineering

The marine environment puts special demands on equipment. Our marine engineers have specialist skills in mechanical engineering design and analysis, materials, corrosion and corrosion prevention, the use of metals and composites in the marine environment, underwater engineering and transmission systems.

Wind Tunnel Testing of Offshore Structures

Aerodynamics is an important aspect of the safe and reliable design of an offshore installation. BMT operates large in-house wind tunnel facilities to help designers assess wind loads, current loads and helideck wind environment. Wind tunnel testing can also be used to quickly investigate remedial and mitigating measures should problems be identified.

Hydrodynamic Analysis

The prediction of current and wave loading is a key component of offshore engineering design for station keeping, mooring design, vessel stability, structural integrity and safety. BMT's specialist knowledge and experience in numerical modelling of vessel response and physical model testing provides an unrivalled analysis and consultancy capability.
