SERVICE
Engineering consulting services
Novauda specialises in late-life asset management and decommissioning for offshore and onshore process infrastructure.
We bring these two disciplines together by integrating decommissioning planning alongside ongoing asset management, to avoid unnecessary “regret spend” and close out assets in the most efficient way possible.
We stay fully aligned with regulatory requirements while remaining agile — so the solutions we deliver are practical, lean and fit for purpose.
SERVICES
01
Decommissioning Planning & Execution Support
From the first feasibility question to the final removal campaign — a single engineering thread through feasibility, options select, detailed engineering and execution.
Support across the full decommissioning lifecycle, including:
Feasibility, options selection and cost assessment
Detailed engineering planning and Safety in Design
Execution support, contractor coordination
02
Risk, Hazard & Decision Workshop Facilitation
HAZOP, HAZID, PHA, comparative assessment and structured decision workshops — planned, prepared, facilitated and closed out by an Accredited HAZOP Leader, in accordance with IEC 61882.
Workshop facilitation includes:
HAZOP, HAZID and process hazard analysis
Comparative assessment and multi-criteria decision analysis
Project risk, scope, cost and opportunity workshops
03
Regulatory, Environmental & Stakeholder Management
Documentation that satisfies the regulator, and engagement that keeps traditional owners, fisheries and communities informed rather than surprised.
Support navigating regulatory and stakeholder requirements, including:
Legislative reviews, regulatory documentation and comparative assessments
Stakeholder and community engagement
Waste, hazardous materials, end-state and monitoring strategies
04
Project Management & Project Controls
Engineering-led project management with the cost, schedule and contract discipline that keeps a plan honest from initiation through to close-out.
Project support can cover:
Project and engineering management
Planning, scheduling, cost and risk control
Contract, vendor, mobilisation and readiness management
05
Owner's Engineer & Client-Side Representation
Experienced engineering capability inside your team, representing your interests — sourcing, directing and challenging the specialists working on your project.
Flexible client-side support including:
Embedded owner’s engineering and technical assurance
Tender, bid and specialist management
Offshore, onsite and project interface representation
06
Engineering Studies & Documentation
The studies, methodologies, work packs and procedures that turn an intent into something a crew can actually execute.
Engineering deliverables can include:
Concept, feasibility, FEED and trade-off studies
De-energisation and removal strategies
Work packs, procedures and operational documentation
07
Cost Estimating, Benchmarking & Cost Reduction
Estimates built on a documented basis, tested against comparable projects, with contingency you can defend.
Cost support includes:
Estimate development and benchmarking
Contingency and risk-based costing
Independent estimate reviews and cost reduction opportunities
HOW WE ENGAGE
Defined study
A fixed scope with a named deliverable list, an estimate of hours and an agreed programme — a decommissioning execution plan, a comparative assessment, a Class 2 estimate. You know what you are getting and what it costs before we start.
Embedded support
Engineering capability inside your team on a days-per-week basis, for operators who need experienced judgement without adding permanent headcount. Perth-based, offshore and onsite mobilisation available.
Discrete facilitation
A single workshop or a programme of them — planned, prepared, facilitated and closed out, with the register and actions issued to you afterwards.
Not sure which service you need?
Most engagements start as one question and resolve into a scope over a single conversation. Tell us what is in front of you, and we will tell you what it would take or who else you should be speaking to.
