Thermal analysis of low voltage unit Kennet Pumping Station
DC White work with Freedom Solutions to address potential downtime at Kennet Pumping Station The Challenge DC White was recently approached by Freedom Connections (engineering design company) at the request of the Environmental Agency to perform a thermal analysis of a low voltage electrical cabinet at the Kennet Pumping Station in Cambridgeshire. The cabinet controls the starting system for a crucial underground water pump, 60 [...]
Vibration Analysis
Vibration analysis on optical laser
The Good the Bad and the Wrong One of our clients was experiencing trouble with unacceptable levels of vibration seen at optical laser used for laser interferometer. This problem was confounded by the additional requirement of a more stringent specification requirement on entering a new market. DC White were brought on board as design partners to develop a solution which would work in the new market [...]

St. Pancras Station Analysis of Sprinkler System for Tyco Wormald
Life would be a lot easier for designers and engineers if we could remove, eliminate or demolish what exists already. The ability of a good designer or engineer is to produce designs that work with and compliment an existing design, not bulldoze the merits of our engineering heritage. DC White thrives on these challenges - such as this one, presented to us by Tyco Wormald. Historic Project: [...]
Failure Analysis
Bearing Failures
Subsea Pump Bearing Investigation of failure on offshore sub-sea water winning pump bearings. Failure due to non-conservative design leading to high loads on bearing and an element of misalignment leading to fatigue of bearings.

Cafeteria Seating gets a Ruggedized Re-design
Design Optimisation of ABS Plastic Products When a market leader in educational seating approached us to assess proposed design developments and optimise the design of one of their ABS plastic products, we needed to apply some lateral thinking. The ABS plastic seats were cracking around the mounting post and concern was raised as to whether different methodologies for attaching the seats to the metal posts was causing the [...]
