Solution Engineering

We work with you to gain a deep understanding of your objectives in order to develop the best solution for your business. Our engineers test and analyse your materials in the lab, while our business development team invites you to see CDE plants in action across our region and beyond. You’ll join us in design workshops to finalise your equipment specification and layout. This deep collaboration ensures we develop the right solution for you.

At this point, you’ll meet your dedicated CDE project manager, or ProMan, selected for their expertise in your materials and location.

Project Realisation

Procurement & Cost Control

Our robust and agile supply chain ensures we have the required materials and parts to hand as soon as our engineering team releases your plant’s designs.

Manufacturing & Testing

CDE maintains complete control over your plant’s fabrication throughout the manufacturing process.

Our team of engineers, fabricators, and technicians collaborate to build your plant to the highest possible standards – from cutting and folding the steel, to painting and final assembly. We wire and test each component throughout the assembly process, and conduct regular and rigorous quality checks, to ensure your plant works perfectly before it leaves the factory.

Delivery, Installation & Commissioning

We deliver your plant in modules, which means swift installation. We then carefully commission your plant – optimising it to the specific make up of your materials – and train your operators to run it efficiently. 

You’ll also see our commitment to health in safety at work on your site. CDE adheres to ISO: 45001 Health and Safety Management. – a truly international occupational health and safety management standard.
