Markets

PDL engineers work alongside client companies operating in all of the main market sectors on a global basis.

World Map

Our engineers support clients throughout the development process from the initial option studies stage, through the detailed engineering design and development, and on into manufacture and lifecycle support.

Our ability to simulate the applied loads and determine the predicted performance of a proposed design before any parts are actually made is an invaluable tool for client engineers on any given project in any given market.

Similarly, where customers have a product failure on an existing part or assembly, PDL engineers have developed an enviable track record in providing complementary FEA and CFD analysis support to identify the root cause of failure and then develop appropriate design solutions in a timely and cost effective manner.

Please select any one of the following market sector links that is most relevant to your project:

• Nuclear
• Defence
• Oil & Gas
• Renewables

Alternatively, send us an e-mail at solutions@pdl-group.com and we will contact you by return, or speak directly to a PDL engineer on T: ++ 44 1 434 609 473.
