ModuSpec provides independent engineering expertise to investigate technical problems, assess equipment and system designs and support informed technical decision-making.
Our engineers combine analytical methods, technical knowledge and operational experience to help clients understand the causes of equipment and system issues, evaluate designs and assess performance against applicable technical criteria.
Root cause failure investigation
We provide structured root cause investigation and analysis to identify why equipment or system failures have occurred and help prevent recurrence.
Using established root cause analysis methodologies, our engineers identify causal factors and root causes before determining appropriate corrective actions. Methods can include fault-tree analysis, fishbone analysis and 5 Whys.
Design review
We provide independent review of component and system designs against applicable codes, standards, regulations, design specifications and functional requirements.
Depending on the scope, our design reviews can include:
- Design specification and functional requirements
- Engineering calculations, including finite element analysis (FEA)
- Qualification and performance testing
- Quality systems and inspection and test plans (ITPs)
This gives our clients independent technical assurance that design and performance considerations have been assessed against the relevant project criteria.
Finite element analysis (FEA)
We provide finite element analysis to support the assessment of equipment, components and complex engineering challenges.
Our capabilities range from 2D through to complex 3D analysis and can include:
- Shear simulation
- Differential pressure analysis
- Heat transfer
- Fracture mechanics
- Buckling
- Large deformation rubber analysis
Wider engineering & compliance support
Our engineering expertise also supports a wider range of asset, fleet and compliance activities, including regional redeployment, management systems, technical reviews and audits.
Asset & fleet compliance
Support can include:
- New and existing standards
- Safety case and written scheme of verification (WSV)
- Regional rig or vessel deployment
- Barrier management
- Standards and regulatory compliance
Environmental, social & governance (ESG)
We can also provide technical support for environmental, social and governance requirements, including:
- GHG / CO₂ policy and procedures
- Regional compliance in operating regions
- Management system frameworks
- Support to develop and populate management systems
Additional technical support
Further engineering and technical support can include:
- Procedure review and development
- Gap analysis and audits against applicable standards, including API 16AR
- Manufacturing record book (MRB) review
- H2S
- Maintenance audits
