Projects and Mechanical Engineering (DL)

With decades of experience supporting the global science community in the design and delivery of particle accelerators and bespoke scientific instrumentation, we specialise in:

  • Facility design
  • High-precision design
  • UHV
  • Lasers
  • RF
  • Cryogenic systems
  • System integration
  • Handling equipment
  • Transportation.

Our project partners include CERN, the European Spallation Source, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment at LBNF, Diamond Light Source, and STFC’s RAL Space.

Our ISO 9001 quality management framework ensures consistent, high-quality deliverables that instil confidence in our customers.
