Precision Mechanical Design & Plant Layout

Eliminate on-site clashes, reduce installation delays, and ensure strict regulatory compliance with highly constructible 3D layouts

The Beating Heart of Your Operations

In heavy industry, the efficiency, safety, and reliability of your mechanical infrastructure dictate the success of your entire operation. At O'Hare Engineering Design, mechanical design is our core specialism. With over two decades of experience serving the Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Nuclear, and Energy sectors, we understand the critical demands of hazardous and highly regulated environments.



We help your facility operate reliably while adhering to the strictest safety and compliance standards, we translate complex process requirements into fully optimised 3D mechanical layouts. We do not just create drawings, we engineer highly practical, constructible solutions.

Our Core Mechanical Design Capabilities

Intelligent Pipework Design & Routing

Prevent fluid bottlenecks and ensure safe operation in hazardous environments. We achieve this by routing complex hygienic and industrial pipework using intelligent 3D modelling, strictly adhering to UK design and safety codes.

Plant & Equipment Layout

Maximise your operational efficiency and ensure safe maintenance access. We deliver this by spatially optimising your plant layouts, ensuring vessels, pumps, and structural supports fit perfectly within your facility’s exact footprint.

Modular Skid & Package Design

Accelerate your project timeline with plug-and-play mechanical installations. We engineer self-contained, fully transportable modular skids, perfectly coordinating the pipework, valves, and structural frames for off-site fabrication.

Brownfield Retrofitting & Upgrades

Upgrade ageing infrastructure with perfect integration and minimal operational downtime. By utilising millimetre-accurate 3D laser scans, we design exact tie-ins for new mechanical systems that slot seamlessly into your existing site.

2D Drafting & Fabrication Deliverables

Guarantee a flawless build for your manufacturing contractors. We extract highly detailed, error-free fabrication drawings, piping isometrics, and Bill of Materials (BOMs) directly from our validated 3D models.

AutoCAD Plant 3D Administration

Streamline your internal design workflows and standardise your engineering outputs. We set up, manage, and optimise your Plant 3D environments, building custom piping specifications and catalogues tailored to your business.

A Clear, Transparent Path from Concept to Completion

To protect your project budget and reduce on-site risks, we believe in total design transparency. We achieve this through a highly collaborative workflow that ensures you remain fully informed at every stage. From the initial conceptual layout through to the final fabrication handover, here is how we develop a constructible mechanical design:
