Utilizes Knowledge, Experience and Developed Skills
For Successful Analyses and Solutions
Core
competencies reside in mechanical engineering analysis, design, testing
and troubleshooting. From fluids and heat transfer to structural stress
and dynamics, the company analyzes, solves and makes improvements
to technology throughout all lifecycle stages, from the drawing board,
laboratory, and prototype to production equipment. Electrical, chemical,
civil, nuclear and manufacturing engineering disciplines are utilized
as needed for a complete solution.
