Mechanical Design Services

Nova’s background in

mechanical design and drafting

is wide ranging across many sectors. Our team of design engineers have backgrounds ranging from heavy engineering like steel rolling & plate mill lines to lighter fabrication and sheet metal design to service the food process industry.



Mechanical Engineering Design Projects

Below is a small sample of previous mechanical design projects that Nova has been successfully involved in.

Automotive Handling Equipment Design

Nova has a large portfolio of handling equipment mechanical engineering designs throughout the motor industry. This has included overhead and floor chain conveyor design, powered roller beds, belt conveyors, skillet lines, lifters, turntables, underguarding and drop sections. The majority of these projects have involved our engineers conducting site surveys to assist with the outsourced mechanical design.

Mechanical Engineering Design - Metal Processing Metal Processing & Furnace Design

Being based in the West Midlands, Nova are at the heart of the metal process and furnace industry. Collectively our team has got a wealth of mechanical design experience working on rolling mill, strip process, bar & tube straightening equipment and furnace design.


Mechanical Design - Nuclear Engineering Nuclear Engineering

From Nova’s beginning’s we have built successful relationships with a number of Nuclear Industry first and second tier suppliers. This has involved supplying design and drafting support services for Grapples, Park Stands, Lifting Beams and various other decommissioning plant.


Mechanical Engineering Design - Special Purpose MachinerySpecial Purpose Machinery

We have experience in special purpose machinery design projects ranging from scrap metal & car shredders, high speed assembly line equipment, packaging machinery and friction welding equipment.




Mechanical Design - Food ProcessSheet Metal and Light Fabrication Design

Our team also has experience in lighter fabrication and sheet metal work. This has included mechanical design and mechanical drafting projects for a number of industries including, food process, tobacco processing and automotive paint plant design.
