mechanical and electrical engineering - Royal Haskoning in the UK

mechanical & electrical engineering
Royal Haskoning’s Mechanical and Electrical engineering team of highly skilled
professionals provide specialist design and consultancy services to clients involved in
major maritime projects in the UK, Europe and across the world.
Our service includes advice, feasibility studies, design, specifications, contract preparation,
inspections, installation supervision, condition and safety surveys as well as operational and
maintenance support. We specialise in the design of land drainage, raw water and dry dock
pumping stations, cranes and lifting equipment, ro-ro link spans and passenger walkways,
lifeboat cradles and shiplifts, as well as port equipment, test rigs, petroleum product handling,
storage and fire fighting systems. Particular project examples include dock, river and canal
navigation locks, river flow control structures and tidal defence barriers and bridges.
Inspections and PUWER regulations
Our engineers inspect machinery and moving structures for various UK ports and the Environment
Agency. Results of these inspections help identify defects or deteriorating components that
require attention, or highlight situations where equipment is susceptible to misuse. Information
resulting from inspections can also help clients prepare budgets for maintenance, remedial
works and capital expenditure. Our inspections relate to sluice gates, lock, dock and dry dock
gates, moving bridges, RoRo linkspans and ship to shore walkways, hydraulic installations,
electrical distribution and control equipment.
In addition we carry out multi-disciplinary civil and structural inspections and undertake specialist
audits in respect of PUWER regulations. These include inspections of equipment, policy audits,
procure and documentation.

Mechanical
Our mechanical engineering team offers a wide range of services including design, specification and
inspection during manufacture, supervision of installation and commissioning, in service condition
surveys, safety surveys, inspection and maintenance programmes.
We have extensive experience in port and coastal environmental and inland waterways and our
engineers work on dock, river and canal navigation locks, river flow control structures, tidal defence
barriers, land drainage and other raw water pumping stations, fire fighting systems, petroleum
product handling, dry dock pumping systems, dry dock gates, lifting equipment, Ro-Ro link spans,
passenger walkways, lifeboat cradles and port equipment condition surveys.
We carry out mechanical engineering design and consultancy services relating to the distribution
of potable water pipelines and pipe work design, plant and control room design, asset condition
surveys, computational fluid dynamics, pumping systems, motors, gearboxes, winches, drive
systems, and corrosion control.
Also included are movable maritime structures, fluid hydraulic engineering, cylinders and mounting
systems, simulation, modelling and P&IDs, gas storage and distribution and equipment.
We are involved in flood defence, hydraulic fluid power, water and wastewater treatment systems,
penstocks, sluices and carry out the design of swing bridges, lift bridges, mitre, flap, floating, sliding,
rolling lock and dock gates, ballasting and bunkering systems.
We undertake petroleum oil and lubrication inspections for mechanical building services and HVAC,
machinery safety and legislation, HAZOPS and HAZIDS, fire fighting systems and environmental
hazards, hazardous area identification, area classification and zoning.
Our diverse team of professionals, including mechanical engineers, engineering scientists and
chemists, provide advice on fire prevention and fire protection facilities. We are members of the
National Fire Protection Association and the International Cargo Handling Association.
The work we undertake includes preparation of Marine Terminals for risks associated with fire,
health and safety.
We work to, MACR, COMAH, PUWER, DSEAR regulations.

Electrical
Our design and specification service for high and low voltage electrical engineering includes
large industrial power distribution systems up to 33KV and includes selection and distribution
arrangements, switchgear and single line diagrams, layouts and cable routing and detailed design
of substations.
We undertake feasibility studies, preliminary and master planning, power capacity assessments
and demands, network studies and analysis, electrical distribution including network configuration,
cabling networks, electrical protection systems, earthing arrangements, substations, building
designs and layouts.
We also carry out HV/LV distribution, network design and cable distribution systems, luminescence
surveys; external lighting, electrical building services, traffic control and motor starter drive systems.
We undertake energy efficiency surveys and site service investigations for cable and ducting
management, fire detection and alarm systems. Also included are surveys for security, CCTV, access
control, communication network, SCADA and UPS systems, including instrumentation, control and
automation, 50Hz/60Hz power system conversion, ATEX and hazardous area electrical systems as
well as dockside power supplies.
We design high and low voltage electrical engineering systems and specifications. This includes
selection, distribution arrangements and switchgear, including design of single line diagrams,
layouts and cable routing to detailed design of HV/LV substations.
Our team of electrical engineers undertake feasibility studies, preliminary and master planning,
power capacity assessments and demands, network studies and analysis, electrical distribution
arrangements including configuration of networks to ensure security of electrical system supplies,
cabling networks, electrical protection systems, earthing arrangements, substations and building
designs and layouts.
