Our team’s extensive field experience encompasses all aspects of the design process, from fabrication to construction and maintenance. Whether it’s a new build or brownfield retro-fit, we understand you need cost-effective and accurate drawings. Our team has worked with local start-ups and multinational companies to deliver innovative solutions that combine safety, efficiency and the lowest total cost of ownership.

  • Engineering Work Packages (EWPs)

    An important component of the Advanced Work Package system, Engineering Work Packages (EWPs) are a rigorous approach to engineering management. Used in both our internal and third-party design programs, the EWP system ensures comprehensive, multidisciplinary designs that become the basis of the work.

  • Design Management

    Missed design deadlines and incomplete drawings can delay your whole project. Managing one or more design firms is challenging and presents a significant risk. We have a long history of managing third-party engineering firms ranging from boutique specialists to multinational corporations. Managing the design phase of the project ensures comprehensive, practical designs are issued for construction on time, on budget. Eliminate fabrication and construction delays, eliminate unnecessary change orders and significantly reduce project risk.

  • Drafting and Technical Modelling

    More than just traditional two-dimensional drawings, North Star uses industry-leading software to create detailed 3D models of systems, plants and earthworks to discover hidden constructability issues and create pinpoint estimates. Minimize the costs and delays associated with change orders and get the most competitive bids. Using BIM technology we’ll simulate the construction and operation of your next project and then create detailed construction drawings with the details needed in the field.

  • Electrical, Instrumentation & Control

    Our in-house team of electrical engineers, technicians and electricians has a deep understanding of industrial power distribution, control systems and plant automation. Spanning many industries, our designers combine technical expertise with field-level understanding to develop efficient designs that can be installed and maintained with ease. We look at the big picture to minimize the total cost of ownership.

  • Mechanical

    Our mechanical design team is composed of experienced field personnel and technical designers. With clients in the mining, nuclear and offshore industries, we have the broad range of expertise you require. Working closely with our in-house electrical and structural engineers, the North Star team can produce multidisciplinary designs for your most challenging brownfield projects.

  • Civil & Structural

    With projects ranging from industrial structural remediation to roadwork and mine development, our team of engineers, technicians and surveyors has the skills required to design and draft your next project.
