Challenge
-
An industrial fire extinguisher had to satisfy three mutually opposing criteria:
-
contain pressure safely
-
be light enough to minimise cost
-
fit through doors
-
-
When client approached us, they had a design that did not satisfy the criteria.
What We Did
-
Identified a set of solutions to their problem
-
Demonstrated their viability using computer simulations
-
Certified the finally chosen design as safe
Benefits To Our Client
-
Client had a certified engineering design which satisfied the criteria
-
Final design cost much less than original, because it used less material
-
Money was not wasted on building non-working prototypes
