Dimension is a recognized player in naval architecture desing of Specialized Vessels. Every Project at Dimension is unique & involves basic and applied research, design, development, design evaluation and calculations during all stages of the life of a vessel. Our Services cover every level of the various design phases, each lead by a team of top-flight Naval Architects & Marine Designers:

• Feasibility Studies-Evaluate customer ideas and concepts.  Projects range from alternative equipment to new vessel platforms and hulls shapes.
   
• Concept Design-Top level drawings to represent the major design features to demonstrate the design approach for the vessel.
   
• Shipyard Bid Package-Set of top level drawings and technical specifications, developed to the extent necessary, to describe the vessels major design features and to obtain bid estimates from prospective shipyards.
   
• Regulatory Approval-Set of functional drawings developed to the extent necessary to demonstrate compliance with and obtain regulatory/classification society approvals.
   
• Detailed Design Package-Set of detailed drawings developed to the extent and level necessary for prospective shipbuilder to build the vessel.  The level of detail can be tailored to meet any shipyard build strategy.

Clients look to Dimension to deliver complex projects in the world’s most challenging locations. Dimension's project management expertise is the key to getting your project done on time and within budget.

Our project and program portfolio includes an array of unique and complex projects delivered to our customers through experience, innovative solutions and refined processes. 

Dimension's Structural engineering discipline covers all the design aspects, from local scantling design, global engineering, detailed design, Finite Element Analysis, fatigue and buckling analyses, detailed analyses of Structural & Mechanical components.

Our structural engineers are involved in a wide range of projects, ranging from the overall hull design and associated hull integration, from basic to detailed structural design including fatigue analysis.

We have a range of 2D and 3D software packages like AutoCAD, Solidworks, FEMAP, NX-Nastran & Orcaflex at our disposal, which can be used for your specific needs. These tools include load transfer from hydrostatic and hydrodynamic calculations. 

Dimension Consultant's multi-disciplined team have many years of experience in complex marine operations and can provide valuable early planning and advice to optimise the solutions with regard to vessel and equipment selection, structural design and procedures. Subsequent engineering comprises analysis and design associated with all temporary phases of a marine operation from loadout and transportation to installation. Such calculations include:

• Vessel ballasting & Loadout Procedure
• Intact & Damage Stability
• Bollard Pull & Tow Speed Calculations
• Global and local vessel strength
• Vessel motions and stability
• Mooring design & Analysis
• Grillage and seafastening design
• Dynamic lifting and rigging
• Hydrodynamic analysis
• Jacket launch and upending
• Dynamic analysis for floatover installations
• FPSO Mooring Installation and Hook-up Engineering
• Production of appropriate documentation

Dimension Consultants are expert in Detail Design & 3D Modeling using Solidworks to produce realistic 3D renders for marketing support and accurate drawings for Production and Dimension Control. 

Our team has years of experience in using 3D models as an effective tool for reducing rework and cutting material wastage leading to cost and time savings.
