KDC Projects

ANALYSIS

KDC has extensive knowledge of the analysis methods required to ensure your design harnesses the full potential of the latest materials and production techniques. Using traditional methods or utilising advanced FEA, CFD, or thermal analysis the analysis team will ensure that your project meets the demanding performance criteria required for success in today’s engineering environment.

DESIGN

Our most important design tool is the innovation, technical skills and experience of our designers. Experience through the product lifecycle, including feasibility studies, through concept and detailed design stages and production optimisation ensure we can meet all of our clients' design requirements.

SYSTEMS

KDC are experienced in delivering fixed price packages of work from requirements analysis to system simulation and modelling of functional, performance, hydro-mechanical and structural problems. This expertise will ensure that the agreed technical solution complies entirely with the original brief.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

We have a long track record of providing solutions to highly technical problems. Clients depend on us to turn an agreed concept into a production ready design and then realise this design for them through procurement & subcontractor management, through to documentation, commissioning and handover.

ACCREDITATIONS

KDC Projects is accredited to ISO9001 and AS9100, awarded an SC21 Bronze Award by ADS, and their IT systems comply with the UK Governments “Cyber Essentials” requirements, a prerequisite for Defence based work.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

On-time delivery requires an in-depth understanding of the technical issues, the ability to mobilise skilled teams quickly, and extensive knowledge of technical integration. KDC supports our clients to ensure that technical expertise is deployed effectively and economically to deliver the clients requirements as efficiently as possible.

KDC Projects were brilliant to work with. They delivered high-quality work on-time and on-budget and they communicated clearly and consistently throughout. I will definitely use them for future projects.

Engineering Director

Large Aerospace Company

I was very pleased with the entire experience of working with KDC Projects. I was working to an aggressive delivery date for a key project and KDC Projects proved invaluable in helping me to meet it. I've now retired so I won't be working with them again but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as a true engineering partner.
