SUBSEA

ENGINEERING & DESIGN

From Concept to Production. Designed to Perform.

The best products rarely happen by accident. They begin with clear thinking, practical engineering and a deep understanding of how they will actually be manufactured, installed and maintained. At FabX, engineering is not separated from reality—it is built around it.

We support customers from the earliest concept discussions through detailed engineering, manufacturing documentation and technical support during fabrication. Whether you need a single pipe support, a lifting arrangement, a complete skid or a complex offshore structure, we focus on delivering practical, cost-effective solutions that reduce risk, shorten lead times and improve competitiveness.

Engineering That Solves Problems — Not Creates Them

Subsea projects leave little room for assumptions. Equipment must perform under pressure, survive harsh offshore handling, interface with vessels, ROV

Every engineering hour should create value.

Our approach combines mechanical design, structural calculations, manufacturing knowledge and procurement experience to ensure every design can actually be built efficiently. We challenge unnecessary complexity, identify cost drivers early and optimize designs for fabrication, machining and assembly.

Because the best engineering isn’t always the most complicated.
It’s often the simplest solution that performs exactly as required.

Scope Of Work

From initial ideas to production-ready documentation, we provide engineering services that bridge the gap between concept and manufacturing.

Concept Development

Transform ideas into practical engineering concepts with realistic manufacturing methods, cost estimates and technical feasibility.

Mechanical Design

3D CAD modelling of components, assemblies and complete systems designed for reliable manufacturing and operation.

Structural Design

Steel structures, equipment frames, skids, foundations and offshore support structures engineered for strength and efficiency.

Reverse Engineering

Recreating existing components from physical samples, laser scanning or outdated documentation.

Detailed Manufacturing Drawings

Complete fabrication packages including workshop drawings, welding details, machining drawings and assembly documentation.

Engineering Calculations

Strength calculations, load analysis, lifting calculations, bolted joint verification and mechanical design verification.

NORSOK & DNV Documentation

Engineering documentation prepared in accordance with offshore industry requirements where applicable.

Fast-Track Engineering

Rapid engineering support for shutdowns, vessel mobilisations, urgent modifications and time-critical projects.

The Challenges Our Clients Face Every Day

Cost Pressure

Projects are expected to deliver more value while budgets remain under constant scrutiny. Every investment must be justified.

Your lead engineer is on vacation.

The project doesn't stop just because key people are unavailable.

Nobody has done this before.

Some projects don't fit existing procedures or standard products.

Standards create uncertainty

NORSOK, DNV and customer specifications are often difficult to interpret correctly.

Documentation Requirements

Clients increasingly require comprehensive technical documentation, traceability and quality records before equipment can be accepted.

Your engineering team is already overloaded.

New projects arrive while existing deadlines remain unchanged.

You know the problem—but not the solution.

Sometimes you simply need experienced engineers to challenge ideas and propose practical alternatives.

The installation window is fixed.

Engineering delays quickly become offshore delays.
