There is no Planet B

Our energy systems need to change. New technology will be part of the solution.

From novel renewable technologies to energy storage solutions, engineering innovation is required to decarbonise our energy systems.

What We Do

Blue Marble Engineering Ltd can help with any stage of your energy technology project, starting with the earliest requirements capture and ideas generation phase, all the way through feasibility studies, concept engineering, detail design and product delivery. We can support your work through our three key competencies:

Design

Using integrated, state of the art tools such as 3D CAD, Finite Element Analysis and Rapid Prototyping allows us to explore a range of ideas quickly and to iterate solutions to meet the needs of your project. Once you’re happy with with the design, manufacturing definition documentation such as 2D drawings and specifications can be efficiently produced. Alternatively, we can provide an independent, third-party review of your own designs and offer constructive feedback to improve the final product.

Analysis

Our experience has been that designs based on solid analysis provide the best solutions. Unfortunately, when developing something genuinely new, there only tends to be partial information available to work with – at best! Conversely, once you’ve got prototypes out in the field, there’s often so much data it’s hard to see the wood for the trees. Innovation in analysis can therefore be at least as valuable as creativity in design. We can help you make the best of the data you have and combine that with insights and knowledge from our own experience to maximise your chances of success.

Management

Delivery of a successful technology development project requires a fundamental understanding of risk and a pragmatic approach to its management. It’s a rare project where you have the time to engineer every detail to the extent you would like. Taking a risk-based approach to focus resource where it really matters is key to success and an area in which we have years of experience.

Who We Are

Headshot of Richard

Blue Marble Engineering Ltd was founded by Richard Montague to provide engineering consultancy services to help accelerate the energy transition.

Richard is a chartered mechanical engineer with many years’ experience working with some of the leading technology developers in the marine renewables sector. He has expertise in mechanical and structural design, often specialising in engineering for offshore operations. He’s been responsible for delivering a wide range of multi-disciplinary projects and so brings practical experience in many related areas such as control and instrumentation, hydraulics, and power systems.

Blue Marble Engineering provides an opportunity to bring these skills and knowledge to the wider industry. 

Richard’s background prior to joining the energy revolution included completing an Engineering Doctorate based in the steelworks in Port Talbot. He also worked on cars in Germany and vacuum cleaners in Malmesbury.
