Design Assurance

Offering an independent design review service that identifies issues and reduces risk at an early stage in the design process, BMT Defence Services can increase confidence in vessel performance by helping operators get it right first time. Our independence from manufacturing interests means that we can provide impartial insight and judgement on design assessments.

We assess and assure projects from inception and throughout their lifecycle, balancing requirements to make vessels compatible with overall risk and budget and ensuring compliance with regulations thanks to BMT's extensive knowledge of applicable standards.

Product Assurance

Assuring in-service platforms against their designed capability and the continuation of their through-life assurance guarantees that products perform correctly throughout their service life. Our in-service product support can be undertaken directly for owners or on behalf of overseeing authorities in BMT's capacity as a recognised organisation. We offer services such as:

  • watertight integrity and structural surveys
  • trials support, escape and evacuation provision
  • decommissioning status
