AP Innovations Ltd

Proven experience in 3D Mechanical Design, Simulation and Manufacturing. No design is too big or too small.

• Concept Development - Concept solutions generated, presented and developed to produce a bespoke product.
• Single Component Design - Components designed and detailed to specification using the best manufacturing techniques available.
• Manufacturing Drawings - Drawings are generated directly from the 3D model for precise manufacturing. 
• Full Product Assemblies - Complex products requiring multiple parts will be optimised to require minimal assembly time. 
• Finite Element Analysis - If parts are going to be placed under loads, these can be simulated to ensure the design is up to the challenge.  
• Assembly Instructions - Complex assemblies requiring assembly instructions can have exploded drawings and step by step storyboards created.
• Material Selection - Materials can be selected to best suit the manufacturing techniques, operational conditions, loading and weight restrictions.
• Drive Systems - Bespoke drive systems including drive shafts, gears, sprockets, chain and belt drives.
• Rigging Drawings - for complex rigging set up, drawings can be generated to illustrate correct assembly
• Hydraulic System Design - Including component selection, custom control systems, pipe / hose runs, pressure and flow monitoring. 
• 3D Printing Solutions - Great option for prototyping and or limited run products. Advice on different printing methods available. Once printing method is selected, support is offered if alterations are required for design optimisation

Proven experience in complete project development, with project planning and procedure development, specialising in subsea construction, intervention and decommissioning.

• Consult on use of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) or Divers - If unsure which method would be faster, more economical or safer, AP Innovations can provide a non-biased recommendations.
• Procedure Development - Step by step procedures written to ensure operations are executed safely and in the correct order.
• Technical Manual and Maintenance Document Development - Documents generated to explain correct product operations and maintenance tasks for products.
• Risk analysis and assessment - Required by the health and safety executive, risk assessments are produced for all operational procedures.
• Lift planning and Rigging Design - Full detailed lift plans, including step by step instructions, from setup of the rigging, to initial lift, to final landing, as per LOLER regulations.
• Procedural Storyboards -  AP Innovations understands sometimes the best way to show instructions are with step by step storyboard drawings.
• Contingency procedures developed as required - If there is a chance the prefferred option might not work, AP Innovations can help develop a backup plan.
• Cost, Time and Resource - Planning and management solutions.
