One of our core focuses is the optimisation of existing designs. Our expert knowledge of composite materials and yacht building standards give us a unique position to assess critical areas of existing designs, and the most effective weight- and cost saving measures.
Approach and Options
When starting a new project, we prioritise in-depth communication with the yard. Our approach includes:
- Analytical global review, with Finite Element Analysis in specific local areas | This method is the most cost effective
- Finite Element Analysis of complete boat | This method maximises optimisations
Key Achievements and References
- Weight Savings: Our optimised projects have seen structural composite weight savings ranging from 15% to 35%
- Production Optimisation: Reduce amounts of layers, improve production and quality
- Rapid ROI: Clients have reported a return on investment in less than 6 weeks, demonstrating the efficiency and value of our engineering services
