At r+k Consulting Engineers, pipelines have been our core fascination since the company was founded in 1961, particularly their structural behaviour, strength and stability, degradation mechanisms, and failure modes. More broadly, we are committed to safeguarding the safety of people, the environment, and all those working with or around pipelines.

We have extensive experience in all aspects of pipeline engineering, in the broadest sense of the word:

• Pipeline engineering consultancy for onshore pipelines in soft and hard soils, as well as offshore pipelines subjected to typical marine loadings or interacting with offshore structures.

• Pipeline-related software development, turning expert knowledge into practical engineering tools.

Driven by our deep interest in pipeline behaviour, we have developed a powerful simulation tool: Ple4Win. This unique and user-friendly software has evolved over more than fifty years, continually refined to meet new challenges and engineering standards. Our sister company,Expert Design Systems (EDS), licenses Ple4Win to a broad range of clients, including oil & gas companies, government agencies, and fellow engineering consultancies.

Through this work, we contribute to safer infrastructure, support critical industries, and help protect the environment while continuing to do what we do best.
