Subsea & pipelines

Subsea & pipeline thermal performance, flow assurance, process engineering and structural integrity design and analysis support is delivered throughout the project lifecycle by application of engineering know-how combined with CAE (computer aided engineering) technologies like CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and FEA (finite element analysis).

From front-end engineering design (FEED) and concept development through evaluation, detailed design, installation and operation to decommissioning, Prospect adds value to client projects through its core services of:

• Flow related and thermal engineering
• Structural & mechanical design
