To support our design and analysis activities we utilise the latest 3D parametric modelling and FE analysis packages, these two powerful technologies can be used in tandem enabling project designs to be progressed rapidly from concept, through initial analysis and evaluation to FEED stage.
Our 3D modelling capability supports a wide range of animation and visualisation activities which greatly enhance our ability to communicate our designs to our clients and third parties.
Our animations have been used in support of presentations to the HSE and DECC enabling complex design issues to be presented in a clear and concise manner.

Awards
SMART Award
SMART: Scotland is a scheme run by the Scottish Executive to support small businesses in the development of new, pioneering and commercially viable products, technologies, or processes to the benefit of the national economy. Clear Well Subsea was awarded the SMART award for the development of SeaTap, a ground-breaking Hot-Tapping system.
Company Director Keith Evans and his team were originally approached by a client to develop a system for remotely connecting subsea pipelines operating at temperatures of 60°C and pressures up to 250bar, in the North Sea. Existing technology developed for use in the Gulf of Mexico was non-operable in North Sea conditions. The SeaTap system is now used by Statoil in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.
DTI Achievement Award
Clear Well has also been awarded an Achievement Award from the Department of Trade and Industry in recognition of the significant commercial success and continuing business development progress made by the company since it received its original SMART Award funding.
