Being the basis of the development of the project and proper selection of equipment and material, CADRE’s engineering department lies at the heart of every project to ensure the quality of the project outcome and the safety of the solutions offered.

CADRE’s engineering department offers reliable solution tailored to customer’s needs and requirements. However, our designs are always based on the relevant international standards and codes to produce cost effective solutions and accurate calculations that save operating and maintenance costs.

Engineering Studies

The engineering departments’ tasks include feasibility studies, concept design, review of client’s minimum technical requirements, design alternatives and new ideas to improve cost effectiveness of the design, and development of detailed design drawings and documents for construction teams to follow.

Our designs adhere to the following methods and principles

  • Compliance with all relevant international standards, regulations, codes and norms (Such as API, ASME, ASTM, NFPA, AWS, BSI, EN, IEC etc…).
  • Use of common industry practices and recognized/proven techniques, methods, equipment and material
  • Sustainability, energy efficiency, social responsibility and environmental awareness.
  • Safety, efficiency and cost effectiveness
  • Integrated project delivery throughout the complete project life cycle

Our multi-discipline departments cover all aspects of design/engineering works in a turnkey project:

  • Civil Design: including foundations, roadworks, soil investigations, topographical surveys and steel structures design using Finite Element Analysis programs
  • Mechanical & Process Design: including Steel Storage Tanks design as per API 650/620, Pressure Vessels as per ASME Section VIII, Firefighting systems as per NFPA, Process Flow Diagrams, P&IDs, Plant layout and Plant philosophy, Piping layout and Stress Analysis, Equipment sizing and selection.
  • Electrical Design: including MV/LV Distribution Architectures, SLDs, plans and details, External & Internal Lighting, Small Power systems, Hazardous Area Classification, Equipment sizing and selection, Earthing & Lightning Protection Systems, Cathodic Protection Systems, Load calculations and motor starting studies
  • Instrumentation & Control Design: including Instruments specifications and selection, fire detection & alarm systems, Control System architectures, Cause-effect matrices, ESD systems, Metering Systems, Tank Gauging & Inventory Management Systems and Generation of Loop diagrams and hookup drawings.

Our aim of self-dependent works is to offer our customers the optimal solutions with reasonable cost impact and a single point responsibility without the risk of duplication or fear of badly coordinated design and construction
