The RB&S Approach

 

 

Independent Engineering Excellence is the motto of the Association of Consultancy and Engineering. Members since 1985, we are committed to upholding the standards of competence and integrity that membership implies.

 

 

Project Engineering

 

At Robert Bruce & Sons we understand the elements essential to a successful engineering project: realistic objectives, coupled with effective planning, control of resources, programme and cost. We appreciate the importance of establishing an appropriate contractual framework to suit the individual needs of each project.

Successful projects are fostered by the creation of a harmonious relationship between owner, contractor and consultant, based upon mutual respect and trust within a clear contractual framework. We take pride in our reputation for probity and diplomacy in all our dealings.

Through consultation and careful attention to the special requirements peculiar to each project, we assist the client to clarify the objectives and specify those objectives in clear, concise and unambiguous engineering language.

Our approach to project management is devoted to the control of cost and ensuring adherence to the contractual specification and programme.

We are ever conscious of the importance of safety in engineering matters. Our efforts are continually directed towards ensuring that human safety, in the widest sense, receives priority throughout the life cycle of the plant.

International Projects

 

For many years, overseas clients have confidently entrusted us with the task of representing their interests in Europe during procurement and providing post-contractual liaison with their suppliers of plant and equipment. We endeavour to integrate our activities seamlessly with those of the project team at the client’s home base, and to promote good relations between the client and his contractors overseas. Our effectiveness is reflected in the continuing relationships (some of over fifty years duration) that we have maintained with overseas clients, particularly in Australia.

Operational Support

 

Throughout our history we have provided operational support to many industries, drawing on our broad experience to advise on performance problems, maintenance issues and the procurement of engineering supplies. We believe that thorough consultation and investigation at strategic and operational levels is essential to the formation of a balanced opinion. Our advice may be relied upon to make an unbiased and independent contribution to the management of engineering assets and the maintenance of efficient production.

Forensic Engineering

 

Forensic engineering and expert witness services have been key parts of our professional programme for over twenty years. We are trained and experienced in providing the independent, unbiased expert evidence demanded by litigators and insisted upon by the Courts. Fields of experience include matters of contractual dispute, personal injury and intellectual property. We are familiar with the requirements of the British Civil Procedure Rules, Protocols and Practice Directions (CPR) and are careful to ensure that we comply with its requirements whether acting as Expert Advisor, Party Appointed Expert or Single Joint Expert.
