DC White Engineering Consultants

Solving complex engineering problems to commercial timescales.

DC White EC specialise in the design and analysis of mechanical and civil engineering projects, with market-leading expertise in stress, seismic, vibration, thermal, piping analysis and design services.

From Aerospace and Defence systems to Nuclear superheaters at Hinkley Point, DC White Engineers have provided insight, analysis and design on a diverse range of engineering projects. Our experience spans many industries and scenarios including Chemical Plant, Food Processing and Pharma, Aerospace and Defence, Materials Handling including Cranes, Nuclear and Renewable Power, Mining, Civil Engineering and Agriculture.

We bring multi-industry knowledge to each new project, with a disciplined approach that reflects our understanding of clients’ commercial pressures and timescales. DC White EC offers independent verification of existing design, and investigates and analyses plant and equipment failure (Failure Analysis). Whilst our toolkit includes FEA (Finite Element Analysis), it is our ability to see the whole engineering picture that sets us apart.

Finite Element Analysis

Doug White, of DC White EC and our principal engineer, was an early adopter of Finite Element Analysis 40 years ago, having written a non-linear FEA package for aero engines. Since then we have continued to develop our FEA expertise, offering essential guidance in pre-build design substantiation, optimisation and failure analysis

Vibration Analysis

We use a multitude of techniques for measuring and analysing vibration in many different environments. In the past we have produced bespoke vibration sensors for our Clients and currently sell a range of unique wireless vibration monitors.

Piping Analysis

At DC White, we have decades of experience in solving piping stress-related issues for clients across many industries including chemical, nuclear and process plant, automotive, marine and renewable energy.

Failure Analysis

DC White Engineering Consultants – providing peace of mind through world-class forensic analysis, failure analysis including tribology consulting services and failure of gearboxes, valves, seals and bearings.

Design Services

Design optimisation, substantiation and bespoke design, including a performance assessment report and any required modifications to ensure code compliance in the design.

Expert Witness

Covering all aspects of mechanical engineering assessment expert witness services since 1992. In most cases our clearly presented, unequivocal evidence has been enough to prevent the case from the expense of going to court.
