Engineering Consultancy
Engineering support including technical evaluation, material selection, specification review, vendor qualification, reverse-engineering support, project engineering assistance and lifecycle optimisation.
Technically sound, standards-compliant decisions from concept to commissioning.
AST's engineering consultancy complements our procurement and trading activities. Our objective is to deliver technically sound, commercially viable and standards-compliant solutions throughout the project lifecycle — reviewing specifications and qualifying vendors before a single purchase order is raised.
Consultancy Scope
- Technical evaluation of specs, datasheets & standards
- Material selection for corrosion, pressure & temperature
- Vendor qualification & value engineering
- Project engineering support & documentation
Areas of Review
- Client specification compliance
- OEM datasheet accuracy
- QA/QC documentation & material certificates
Why bring engineering into procurement.
Fewer Costly Mistakes
Material and vendor issues get caught before manufacturing, not after delivery.
Value Engineering Built In
Cost is optimised without compromising safety or performance.
One Team, Full Lifecycle
Support continues from concept through to commissioning coordination.
Common questions about this service.
Can AST review a specification before we release an RFQ?
Yes — specification and datasheet review is a core part of this service, done before vendor selection begins.
Do you support reverse engineering of obsolete parts?
Yes, reverse-engineering support is available for equipment where original manufacturer documentation is no longer accessible.
Need a second technical opinion before you buy?
Share your specification or datasheet — our engineers will review it directly.
