Plant design: Redhall Engineering maintains a full design service and has permanent design facilities available in three locations within the United Kingdom at Grimsby, Manchester and Birmingham. In addition, and where this fits the requirements of the project, we are able to place design teams within client premises worldwide. We can handle all of the main disciplines required to produce an effective plant design.

Document control: The Redhall Engineering design team has developed a simple but effective method of document control ensuring that we use the latest information available at any stage within the project.

3D models: Utilising the latest Solidworks AutoPlant, AutoCAD and CadWORX software, we can produce full 3D models of your production facilities allowing the tightest integration of the new process with your existing facilities.

With these software systems we can quickly produce the following data;

• 3D visualisations - The ability to review the process equipment at any angle or distance required.
• Walkthroughs - animated walkthroughs showing the process equipment as the operators and maintenance staff would see it.
• Layouts - fully detailed 2D or 3D engineering drawings.
• Piping plans - fully detailed piping plans using AutoPlant software.
• Piping Isometrics - utilising the routing software built into Solidworks we can provide high quality spec driven production isometrics. Alternatively we can produce industry standard isometrics utilising the latest Autoplant and CadWORX plant design software.
• Pipe supports - pipe supports designed and manufactured to Site, British or International standards.
• Structural Calculations - utilising CADS A3Dmax software we can analyse the structural requirements for your project and subsequently size the structural elements and ensure compliance with BS5950.
• Structural Layouts - fully detailed structural layouts.
• Structural details - all elements of the structure can be extracted and detailed individually.
• Vessels - designed and detailed to the latest British and International standards.

In all of the above cases the drawings are intimately linked to the model and guarantee that the drawings match the model.

2D design: Utilising the latest AutoCAD software we can produce full 2D Plant layouts incorporating many of the elements shown above.

Design risk assessment: All of our designers continually risk assess their designs and minimise the residual risks wherever possible. This process is documented within the design

Process design: In our specialist areas we have process engineers, project engineers and project managers who can help you to develop your process to match your business requirements. Advice can be given on the best solution to address the issues that inevitably arise as your business develops. Redhall Engineering has extensive experience in the food and pharmaceutical industries. This experience will be brought to bear on your projects with the sole aim of providing suitable cost effective solutions enabling you to maintain focus on, and forge ahead with, your core business.

Process diagrams: We can produce process diagrams, flow diagrams etc, using our in-house engineering team or, draw on the direct process knowledge embodied within the client’s production and engineering teams. Working to Site, British or International standards and documenting all process parameters and equipment specifications.

Electrical installation

All our electrical installation operatives are skilled tradesmen, with many years of experience in the relevant market sectors. Major factors in our success are their highly motivated approach, commitment to our heath safety policy and ability to adhere to our robust quality procedures.

Our success is also due to the allocation of a contracts manager and supervisor throughout each project. As well as controlling work in progress, they provide a readily available contact to ensure client satisfaction.

We will work to client specifications, or through the utilisation of our experienced design engineers, we can assist in project solutions. This can include the provision of control and monitoring facilities, additional power supplies as well as the re-wiring of existing equipment.

We are able to provide a top quality range of electrical services ranging from 11kv switchgear and cabling, to machinery control panel design and build.

• Turnkey projects

Process automation

By adopting a modular design and approach to software development, our aim is to provide cost effective and practical solutions to complex process automation requirements.

We have experience in a range of mainstream systems such as: Allen Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, iFix, Factory Talk, Win CC, Beckhoff and Wonderware Intouch. This places us in an excellent position to offer an impartial solution for our customer’s process automation requirements, whether these be stand alone PLC/HMI through to networked, fully integrated Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.

Software design: Two of the most important aspects in the development of any automation and control system software are traceability and specifications. We provide audit trails and documentation to support our customers.

High level management systems: The continuing integration of Management Information Systems (MIS) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) within industry, has allowed for the centralisation and provision of data as well as improved methods of collecting, processing, storing, distribution and presentation of the information in the form required. This can include graphical and tabular as well as words and pictures (mimics) to suit operational or managerial requirements.

Working in conjunction with a range of providers we have flexibility and have developed both MIS and MES packages to collate information relating to Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), one of two key metrics for measuring Equipment Performance and Downtime Analysis.

In addition we have provided information relating to Batch Material Usage, Recipe Management, Clean in Place protocols and Production Schedules to give a few examples.

Control Panels: Redhall Engineering offers a range of electrical control panels from single starter or operator panels to complex PLC controlled systems. Whatever you require we can meet your automation needs, from an upgrade or retrofit, to a single machine or complete process line control.

We design, build and test all our panels in-house to ensure the highest levels of quality are built in. All panels and enclosures are tested for system integrity and we offer the facility for our customers to witness test and pre-commission phases prior to any on-site installation work.

All panels are built to EN60204 standards and are either CE marked or provided with a Certificate of Incorporation.
