Global experts in advanced engineering and multi-discipline design, solving complex challenges with cutting-edge solutions

"Very grateful for your assistance on this one. As you can probably tell we’re juggling a lot of simultaneous work at the moment, so having DOCAN on board to be able to work through this problem with attention to detail and also to keep driving it forwards has been a great help."

"I am extremely pleased with the exceptional engineering work provided by DOCAN Ltd on the rerating of our air receivers. Their team demonstrated outstanding expertise in utilizing code calculations and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure the highest standards of safety and efficiency. The attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident throughout the project. I highly recommend DOCAN Ltd for their professionalism and technical proficiency."

"Atlas Copco are a market leader in self-pierce riveting; joining aluminium, mild to ultra-high-strength steels, and other materials that cannot be reliably welded. DOCAN have been instrumental in supporting our design and FEA efforts on a project to reduce the cost and carbon footprint of one of our core products by making it from two parts rather than a single, fully machined part. This required the design of a structure and joint interface which could align the two parts to a very high accuracy and support the riveting loads over millions of cycles. Through a set-based concurrent engineering approach to concept generation and down-selection DOCAN were able to offer a fresh perspective into aiding our concept down-selection. Subsequently, they took our chosen concept and developed it into a viable engineering solution using their expertise in design and, specifically, analysis of bolted connections. Test rigs based on this solution have just successfully passed their first fatigue test of millions of cycles and meet the initial alignment requirements. A significant milestone in the project, and a great endorsement of our partnership with DOCAN."
