MRO facility design & operational optimisation
Engine shops designed around flow, not just floor space.
Independent support for new and existing MRO facilities—from strip and clean through inspection, NDT, repair, build and dispatch.
Shop design
Make the process visible before concrete is poured.
Good shop design considers engine and component movement, manpower, equipment, inspection sequence, lifting coverage, WIP and future capacity as one integrated system.

Engine Shop Layout & Flow
- Strip and build flow
- Module and component routing
- Workstation and cell positioning
- WIP and backtracking reduction
- Future expansion considerations
Clean & Inspection Lines
- Cleaning process sequence
- Inspection-line layout
- Contamination and segregation planning
- Ergonomics and handling
- Component presentation to inspection
NDT Facilities
- FPI / MPI / eddy-current areas
- Process zoning and segregation
- Utilities and access considerations
- Integration into component flow
- Operational practicality review
Crane & Material Handling
- Overhead crane coverage
- Engine and module movement
- Load paths and lift strategy
- Handling equipment interfaces
- Safe access and maintenance considerations
Operational optimisation
Improve the shop you already have.
Existing facilities often accumulate inefficiency as new equipment, workscopes and product lines are added. A structured flow review can reveal surprisingly simple opportunities to improve turnaround, capacity and operator effectiveness.
01
Current-state mapping
Understand real material, engine and people movement rather than relying only on the nominal process map.

Planning a new engine shop—or fixing an old one?
We can review concept layouts, existing flow, handling systems and the operational logic behind the facility.
