Feasibility, basis of design, detailed IFC drawings, tendering, construction oversight and commissioning, the full engineering lifecycle that turns an energy idea into a system that gets built and performs.
Design & Projects is EM3's engineering arm, where a decarbonisation or efficiency idea becomes a costed, buildable, commissioned reality. We take the concept, prove the business case, design it to issue-for-construction grade, and stay on it through procurement, construction and commissioning.
The work runs the full lifecycle: technical and financial feasibility, energy modelling, technology selection, the basis-of-design stages (BoD-A, B and C), detailed design and IFC drawings, tendering and procurement support, PSDP/PSCS and construction oversight, commissioning and continuous commissioning. Vendor-agnostic throughout, so the design serves the site, not a supplier.
Feasibility, design, tendering, construction support and commissioning, the engineering lifecycle, each stage delivered by engineers and built to be built.

We specify what the site needs, not what a supplier sells, every technology evaluation and selection is independent and evidence-led.
Feasibility studies and business cases carry real cost, IRR and payback, so the capital decision is made on numbers rather than optimism.
The basis of design and IFC drawings are engineered for construction, so what gets installed is what was approved, not a redesign on site.
We stay on through procurement, construction and commissioning, so the energy and carbon outcomes that justified the project are still there at the end.
GMP utilities, clean steam, and Cold WFI.
Cleanrooms, compressed air, and uptime.
Refrigeration, steam, and heat recovery.
Process heat, electrification, and safety.
Cooling, power, and efficiency at scale.
Motors, compressed air, and process heat.
On a typical project, EM3 carries the engineering from a costed feasibility study through to a commissioned, verified system. The basis of design tightens cost accuracy at each stage (BoD-A to BoD-C), the IFC package is built to be tendered and constructed without a redesign on site, and oversight through construction keeps the as-built matched to the as-designed.
The value is a project that lands on programme and on intent, the energy and carbon case that justified the capital is still intact when the system is handed over.
They are the basis-of-design stages, concept (BoD-A), preliminary (BoD-B) and developed, IFC-ready (BoD-C). Cost accuracy tightens at each stage (typically around plus or minus 30, 20 and 10 percent), so the capital decision gets firmer as the design matures.
No. Every technology evaluation and selection is vendor-agnostic, we specify what the site needs and let the design, not a supplier relationship, drive the choice.
Both. Beyond design and IFC drawings we provide tendering and procurement support, PSDP/PSCS duties in Ireland, construction and delivery oversight, and commissioning, so the design intent survives to handover.
It is ongoing fault-finding and optimisation after handover, catching drift and faults so the system keeps delivering the savings it was designed for, rather than degrading quietly over time.
Yes. A technical and financial feasibility study turns an idea into a costed, decision-ready business case before any capital is committed.
