Mechanical Design for Plant Upgrades

SketchArt Engineering provides mechanical design services for industrial plant operators. We support equipment modifications, plant upgrades and new installations, from layout planning and detailed design to manufacturing documentation. You can assign an agreed design scope or involve our engineers as additional capacity for your project team.

We work with your production, maintenance and project teams to understand the existing equipment, operating requirements and installation constraints. Our engineers develop 3D CAD models, mechanical calculations, component selections, manufacturing drawings and bills of materials. We can use your existing drawings and CAD data, with site measurements and design reviews arranged where needed.

For equipment upgrades, we consider interfaces with existing machinery, access for maintenance and the available installation space. We coordinate mechanical design details with your equipment suppliers and installation team, and agree the required standards, review stages and deliverables before starting. Individual assignments and ongoing engineering support are both available.
