What we do
We provide technical expertise and engineering innovation from concept to delivery.
How we bring value
The world’s engineers
Drawing on decades of engineering experience in cost effective and schedule driven design and project delivery, we provide solutions to our clients’ complex industrial challenges and have a proven track record of delivering reliable results.
How we delivered the energy industry’s first deepwater ultra-high-pressure development
How we do it
Globally recognised leader in engineering design
Recognised globally and throughout many industries for our engineering expertise, we work with clients on concepts and feasibility studies to determine the best fit-for-purpose solutions and follow on with reliable front-end engineering design (FEED) and detailed engineering.
Whether for a greenfield project, brownfield expansion or asset life extension, our designers and engineers offer innovative solutions. Our technology-agnostic approach allows us to capitalise on the newest methods and the best solutions for the project, without compromising on safety or quality.

Our solutions
Engineering across the full asset lifecycle
Project costs and risks need to be controlled through disciplined engineering and project management. We stay focused on your priorities to deliver innovative and cost-effective methods to plan, engineer, design and deliver industrial assets, adding value and assurance every step of the way
Early phase engineering
From planning and developing new facilities to reviewing, improving or decommissioning existing infrastructure, our aim is to define the most suitable logistical and commercial project parameters to enhance production, optimise performance or meet legislative and commercial requirements. Our early phase engineering capabilities include:
- Studies including feasibility, concept select and Pre-FEED
- Preliminary budget and schedule estimates
- Technology and site selection
- Permitting support
Examples of work
Applying Wood’s global expertise in life sciences with our multi-sector experience in the Middle East, we worked with Pfizer to deliver a new manufacturing facility for the production and packaging of pharmaceuticals in Saudi Arabia.
We provided wide-ranging services under one project management team, including site master planning, conceptual and basic design, detailed engineering, subcontracting support, technical support to the main contractor during the construction phase, plus final commissioning and qualification management.
Front-end engineering and design (FEED)
We have conducted thousands of front-end engineering design for large-scale assets and complex facilities, helping clients make informed decisions based on real-world information and extensive operational experience. Quality input at this stage leads to a more efficient design process, improved safety and early identification of risks. Our work in this area includes:
- Project definition and scope
- Development of design basis and simulations
- Equipment selection and layout design
- Preliminary quantity and cost estimates
- Planning and schedule development
- Design optimisation and value engineering
- Hazards and risk management
- Constructability planning
Detailed engineering and execution
From concept to reality, we have a proven track record of successful detailed engineering and execution projects completed around the world and across industries, including oil and gas, chemicals, power and minerals and metals. With a reputation for delivering projects on time and on schedule, our capabilities include:
- Design integration
- Supply chain and contract management
- Production of construction deliverables
- Home office support to construction
- Development of operating manuals
- Commissioning and start-up planning
Examples of work
Wood is delivering the detailed engineering of the topsides facilities on Woodside Energy's Trion Floating Production Unit in the Gulf of Mexico. In the last decade, Wood has designed more than 50% of topside facilities in the Gulf of Mexico and this greenfield development will represent the first deepwater development in Mexico at a water depth of 2,500 meters.
