We develop machines from concept to manufacturable design and deliver complete mechanical engineering, including structural engineering where required. The result is a comprehensive and well-considered drawing package that enables your machine to be realised efficiently and without complications.
With more than 30 years of experience, we translate complex technical challenges into robust, practically executable solutions for a wide range of sectors, including Energy & Offshore, Infra & Water, Lifting & Handling, Intralogistics, Automation and Mobility.
Our projects are led by a dedicated Project Manager and Lead Engineer. You work directly with engineers. Our project managers have a strong technical background and remain closely involved in the content and progress of the project. This ensures technical depth, short communication lines and consistent quality from concept to detailed engineering and substantiation.
A design only has value if it can be built, commissioned and maintained. That is why we engineer with manufacturability, tolerances, service access and safety in mind. We standardize where it makes sense and apply targeted custom solutions where needed. The result is engineering that holds up in the workshop and on the factory floor.
We start with clarity: what must the system do, under which conditions, and what are the critical risks? From there we progress in phases through engineering. When needed, we substantiate decisions with calculations and simulations such as FEM (including validation), buckling and frequency analyses, fatigue calculations, 20-sim simulations, digital twins (Virtual Machines/Visual Components) and flow simulation. This accelerates decision-making and reduces late-stage iterations.
MechDes prefers true partnerships: transparent, committed and technically strong. We align with your standards, suppliers and project cadence and deliver a handover-ready package for purchasing, build and commissioning. Whether you need a new concept, a redesign or optimization of existing machines, tooling or special equipment, we create technical clarity and forward momentum.

MechDes Engineering delivers mechanical and structural engineering for projects where manufacturability, safety and reliability matter. We translate an idea or challenge into a well-founded design, including calculations, detailed engineering and clear documentation.
We work across Energy & offshore, Infrastructure & water, Lifting & Handling, Intralogistics, Automation and Mobility (including rail, automotive and transport). For each market, we align our engineering with the real-world context, operating conditions and relevant standards.
We support energy and offshore projects with design, structural substantiation and detailed engineering of mechanical and structural components. We take into account requirements around safety, fatigue, corrosion, inspection and traceable documentation.
In infrastructure and water projects, we deliver mechanical and structural engineering for structures and mechanical components, with a focus on service life, maintenance, installation and safety. We provide substantiation that fits the applicable standards and the project context.
Mechanical engineering focuses on designing and detailing mechanical components and assemblies. Structural engineering focuses on strength, stiffness and safety of load-bearing structures and load paths. In many projects both come together: the design must function and be demonstrably safe.
We deliver strength calculations, fatigue checks, material selection substantiation and FEM analyses where they add value. The goal is always the same: demonstrably safe, manufacturable and aligned with the project constraints.
FEM is a good choice for complex geometry, local stress peaks, combined load cases or when analytical calculations become too coarse. We use FEM to substantiate decisions and make risks visible, and always relate results back to manufacturability and practical margins.
We work with senior engineers, dedicated points of contact and short communication lines. With a clearly defined scope, structured review moments and thorough verification, we surface risks early and deliver designs that work in practice.
Depending on the market and application, we work within the relevant standards framework. For offshore projects this can include DNV (GL), TÜV, Bureau Veritas, Lloyd’s Register and ABS. We are ISO 9001 certified and, for projects in the Netherlands, we align with common requirements and guidelines such as NEN and project-specific agreements where applicable.
This depends on the project, but typically includes 3D/2D detailed engineering, bills of materials, calculation reports, standards-related substantiation, and documentation that supports procurement, manufacturing, installation and maintenance. Always tailored to what you need to move to the next step.
We start with a short intake to clarify the goal, constraints, planning and required output. Helpful inputs include available drawings/models, requirements and standards, load cases, interfaces, operating environment (for example offshore) and your definition of success. From there, we propose a clear approach and an initial schedule.
