Design

Our teams of engineering professionals provide full project design support using the latest software and engineering tools.

Whatever the project, application or specification, we’re here to help you meet your goals – no matter how complex.

In the past, we’ve planned and designed the exterior lighting for an array of different industries in locations across the world. Clients have included:

  • Sports facilities and stadia of every type and size
  • International airports
  • Major distribution and warehousing centres
  • The Highways Agency, the MOD (Ministry of Defence), National Grid and gas and petrochemical sites
  • Ports, docks and harbours
  • Railways and the London Underground
  • Major retail parks, car parks and civic areas

Whilst the tools and technologies may have changed dramatically, the knowledge and experience remains.

Mechanical Engineering
Our customer-led approach to design and development means we’re always working to find the most efficient, cost-effective solution – without compromising on quality. It goes without saying that our designs meet and often exceed international standards, using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to ensure that every component of every design will meet the rigours of everyday operation for many years to come.

Civil Engineering
Unlike many companies, Abacus can provide both standard and customised foundation designs for your mast or structure.
Just tell us the ground pressure and general conditions on site and we’ll advise you on the rest.

Lighting Engineering
We use the latest 3D CAD software, designed and developed specifically for Abacus, to present designs to you in the clearest, most user-friendly format possible.
The team is made up of qualified, experienced engineers designing to European and international standards, dependant on application.

Electrical Engineering
Our team of electrical engineers work closely with the contracting department to provide the design support they need to meet your exact specifications.

From cabling design and configuration right through to cutting-edge, bespoke touch-screen PLC or traditional HMI control units, our start-to-finish service takes you right through from design and build to installation and testing – no matter how sophisticated your requirements.
