Driving innovation beyond naval architecture. Expert-led R&D services specialising in grant-funded projects and product development under the Research Development Tax Incentive.
Advanced tools including CAE, FEA, and CFD for detailed analysis and simulation of complex systems.
Expertise in composite engineering, laminate optimisation, T-foils and high-speed testing. Experienced in pre-preg CFRP and resin infusion manufacturing.
PIV specialisation for free-surface and boundary layer applications. Wind tunnel testing, materials characterisation, and strain gauging.
Conceptual design, analysis, documentation, and construction supervision across multiple engineering disciplines.
Technical leadership, project realisation, process planning, contract superintendence, and organisational design consulting.
Experience securing and delivering funded research under the Federal R&D Tax Incentive program, with scope to recover a significant proportion of research costs.
We clearly distinguish research from design and development. Research provides knowledge and understanding as a contractual outcome, sandboxed from product delivery.
Client meetings, initial literature review, and preparation of a detailed Research Brief documenting understanding, assumptions, and proposal.
Broad assessment to discern likely solutions. Early indication of outcomes — if negative, we recommend termination or redirection. This isn't an academic pursuit for its own sake.
Execution of the research program using our own compute, cloud resources, or partner test facilities. Data compilation, analysis, and reporting in your context.
Preparation of material for scientific journals, trade magazines, or your own website — when public positioning outweighs the value of retaining knowledge privately.
