The naval architects and structural engineers at Rabutec Engineering and its consultants Engineers have many years experience in the design and analysis of marine structures.  We have been involved in a wide variety of design projects from offshore structures to super yachts and designing complete vessels to third party verification.

Our marine engineering division is a small company specialising in design and analysis of fixed and floating structures and for marine operations in the offshore industry.  Our size means we do not have large company overheads and we are flexible enough to set up a project team to meet the requirements of our client.  We have further design and analysis turnover rates (say a crane formation design and analysis takes 2 weeks including drafting).

Our engineers have come from design companies such as ST Marine and Sembawang and fabrication yards such as Daewoo and Keppel.  Accordingly they have the required understanding to produce designs that are easy to fabricate whilst minimising materials and fabrication time and meeting the requirement of the approving body.

We own core software products including Autodesk Inventor Professional, NASTRAN and AutoHydro Pro and specialist software (such as ANSYS for jacket and jack-up structural analysis).  We prepare all drawings using Autodesk Inventor and can issue drawings and reports in PDF format.

Our engineers have worked on projects in many different parts of the world including Australia, Middle East, and South East Asia.  We can save time and costs for our clients by using the appropriate national and international standards used in these areas for design work and speeding up the approval and fabrication phases.

The engineers at Rabutec have many years experience of the marine operations undertaken during the installation, maintenance and decommissioning of Ships and offshore facilities

By employing naval architects, structural engineers, mariners and marine engineers, we are able to provide a complete service to the client, undertaking all the required engineering and marine operations planning to produce a comprehensive operation manual.

Our engineers have an excellent working knowledge of relevant design codes and maritime regulations.  This knowledge enables us to assist clients by advising on decisions such as selecting the appropriate marine philosophy for the operations.

Rabutec Engineering uses the industry standard softwares to design according to the needs as required for each project.  By selecting the most appropriate method for each job, we provide value for money by performing the minimum engineering required to satisfy the approving body.  We use the hydrostatics program AutoHydro Pro, the hydrodynamic analysis program, ANSYS AQWA (Diffraction based) and the riser/moorings program ORCAFLEX (leased on order) where required.  For structural analysis we use the finite element analysis program NASTRAN from Noran Engineering and ANSYS, and for drafting we use AUTOCAD and Autodesk Inventor Professional. For analysing Structure – wave interactions MetoceanDesign uses Staad.Offshore like for Jacket legs design and Jack-up Rig leg strength verifications on AQWA.

Our capability includes undertaking the engineering required for piping schematics layouts and Electrical single line diagrams.  Accordingly, we can act as to a single contractor as to provide clients with all their marine requirements and new build engineering support.
