Services

At DDES, we provide comprehensive engineering and drafting solutions tailored to the Oil & Gas and Renewable Energy industries. Our services span the entire project lifecycle — from early feasibility studies and concept development through to detailed engineering, installation, operation, and decommissioning.

Every project we deliver is guided by three core principles: safety, practicality, and cost-efficiency. This ensures our solutions meet the highest technical standards while addressing the real-world challenges of offshore and onshore environments.

Oil & Gas / Wind

We deliver innovative, project-ready engineering services for contractors engaged in complex offshore operations where efficiency, safety, and precision are critical.

For Offshore Contractors (Oil & Gas / Wind)

Design & Drafting of Temporary Installation Aids

We engineer temporary structures and systems that optimize performance during demanding offshore operations:

  • Rigging Arrangements for Heavy Lifts – engineered lift plans and rigging systems designed to reduce risk and downtime.
  • Grillage & Seafastening – tailored transport and securing systems for safe and reliable offshore mobilization.
  • Lifting Beams, Spreader Bars & Handling Tools – optimized for load efficiency and structural safety in line with global standards.
  • Pull-in & Laydown Systems – solutions for subsea pipeline and cable installation, designed for efficiency and long-term reliability.

Complete Installation Drawing Packages

We prepare fully detailed documentation to guide safe and successful offshore installations:

  • Pipeline Installation Procedures – layouts, tie-in methods, and step-by-step drawings.
  • Subsea Power & Export Cables – pull-in designs, and deck layout drawings.
  • Heavy Lift Operations – structural verification, rigging studies, and lift procedure drawings.
  • Heavy Transport & Deck Layouts – optimized stowage plans ensuring safe and efficient logistics.

For Offshore Operators (Oil & Gas / Wind)

We support operators in maximizing asset value, whether by extending the life of existing infrastructure or developing new offshore fields.

Brownfield Works

Engineering solutions for enhancing and adapting existing offshore facilities:

  • Host Modification Designs – adapting topsides and floating assets to accommodate new tie-ins or equipment.
  • Tie-in Solutions – integration of new subsea wells and infrastructure into operational assets.
  • Structural Upgrades – reinforcement and modifications to extend service life or increase operational capacity.

Greenfield Works

Comprehensive engineering support for new offshore field developments:

  • Field Development Drawings – layouts and designs to support new exploration and production.
  • Subsea Structure Concepts – development of foundations, manifolds, templates, and subsea modules.
  • Installation Support – procedural drawings and engineering services to guide offshore construction, commissioning, and start-up.

Renewable Energy Sector

As the global energy transition accelerates, DDES is committed to supporting renewable energy projects with the same precision and reliability that define our oil & gas expertise. We help developers and contractors design, plan, and execute offshore renewable projects safely, efficiently, and sustainably.

  • Substation & Transition Piece Design – drafting and engineering support for offshore substations and topside structures.
  • Deck Layouts & Installation Packages – optimized for heavy lift and cable installation operations.

Subsea Cable Systems

  • Export & Inter-Array Cable Engineering – route design, pull-in arrangements, and installation methodologies.
  • Deck & Equipment Layouts – ensuring efficient and safe vessel operations.
  • Protection & Stabilization Systems – concept design of supports, crossings, and cable protection measures.

Floating & Emerging Renewable Technologies

  • Floating Wind Platforms – concept and structural design of floating substructures and mooring systems.
  • Tidal & Wave Energy Systems – engineering and drafting support for innovative marine energy technologies.
  • R&D and Prototyping Support – technical design assistance for early-stage renewable solutions.

By combining decades of offshore construction expertise with forward-looking innovation, we provide renewable energy clients with the technical foundation they need to deliver projects that are safe, sustainable, and future-ready.

Offshore & Marine Engineering

We design and engineer temporary installation aids, lifting equipment, and seafastening solutions that make complex offshore operations safe and efficient.

  • Piling frames & rigging arrangements
  • Grillage & seafastening
  • Lifting beams & spreader bars
  • Pull-in systems & subsea structures

Decomissioning

Engineering strategies for the safe, sustainable, and cost-effective removal of offshore assets, minimizing environmental impact.

Project Design Packages

Comprehensive installation drawing packages for pipelines, subsea cables, heavy lifts, and transport operations.

Structural Engineering & Analysis

From detailed drafting to advanced finite element analysis (FEA), we deliver robust, optimized designs that stand up to the toughest conditions.

  • Load case determination
  • Strength & stability calculations
  • Fatigue & connection design
  • Deck layout & verification

Decommissioning Solutions

When offshore assets reach the end of their lifecycle, we develop safe, sustainable, and cost-efficient decommissioning strategies that minimize environmental impact.

Tender & Procurement Support

Our experience in offshore infrastructure and procurement processes gives clients a competitive advantage during bidding and execution.
