Always-on · EPCI watchtower

Helmspur— the eyes your offshore program needs at 02:00.

The 24/7 engineering watchtower for subsea and offshore builds.

Helmspur is an always-on engineering project agent for subsea and offshore EPCI programs. It watches 3D models and FEM analyses from every discipline for clashes the moment a new revision lands, chases missing deliverables through supplier portals, and pushes a concise daily status brief so the technical lead knows the true state of the project before the working day starts — not at midnight.

  • Ingests open formats and neutral files
  • Pricing tied to active project hours, not enterprise seats.

What it watches

Four motions, looping in parallel — so the technical lead is no longer the human on call.

Helmspur runs four loops around the project, not a single dashboard. Ingest never stops, the diff never sleeps, escalation never waits for a human to notice, and the daily brief is the one artifact the lead actually opens in the morning.

01
Loop

Continuous ingest, every discipline

Helmspur watches the revision feed from process, structural, mechanical, piping, electrical, and integrity in parallel — IFC, STEP, PDMS/E3D, FEM neutral files. The moment a new revision lands, it is parsed and diffed against the last accepted state.

02
Loop

Cross-discipline clash detection

Geometry, topology, and topology-adjacent metadata are correlated against the live project model. A clash surfaces with the affected disciplines, the conflicting deliverables, and the responsible owners — not just a coordinate pair.

03
Loop

Supplier deliverable chasing

Missing PDMS deliverables, late IFC revisions, FEM results that never appeared in the portal — chased on the contractor schedule, in your timezone, not theirs. Escalation routes by package, not by first-name-of-the-PM.

04
Loop

Daily brief before the working day

One concise status brief, delivered before the technical lead opens their laptop. What changed overnight, what needs a decision today, what can wait. Not a fire-hose dashboard — a narrative the lead can act on.

How it works

Four steps, no rebuild of your toolchain.

Helmspur does not displace the simulation suite or the 3D platform. It plugs in beside them and reads the outputs the team already produces.

  1. 01

    Connect

    Helmspur reads from the project repositories, supplier portals, and simulation share the team already uses. No rebuild of the toolchain.

  2. 02

    Diff

    Every new revision is diffed against the prior accepted state across geometry, attributes, and FEM boundary conditions.

  3. 03

    Correlate

    Deltas are correlated with the live project model, supplier schedules, and the open-issue register before they become a question in someone’s inbox.

  4. 04

    Escalate

    The right owner is pinged with the conflict, the missing deliverable, or the drifted simulation — the daily brief ties it together before dawn.

Origin

Conceived inside the subsea engineering community in Kongsberg, Norway.

Helmspur was not built in a generic engineering-tools lab. It was shaped by more than a decade of FEM analysis, multidisciplinary 3D coordination, and frontline experience delivering offshore EPCI work — in the offices and on the projects where the technical lead carries a pager after the office closes.

That is why it sits beside the design and simulation stacks the industry already runs instead of asking a team to replace them. AVEVA, Bentley, Siemens, Hexagon, Autodesk, Ansys, Dassault — Helmspur watches the revisions those tools produce and the ones that never get produced, so someone is always awake between the supplier portal and the next morning brief.

Early access

Join the waitlist for early access to the 24/7 engineering watchtower.

The first pilot cohorts will be the engineers shaping how the watchtower reads their discipline's revisions, FEM readings, and supplier-portal deliverables. Drop your work email — we'll reach out before any general opening.

Talk to sales

Bring one package. We'll show you what the watchtower sees.

Five-line brief for pilots on a live subsea or offshore package. Pick the project type, send the scope, and a technical lead from the Kongsberg office will reply the same business day with a pilot plan and the calendars of the engineers who will own the watch.

  • After-hours reply within one business day
  • No NDA required to scope the pilot
  • Pricing tied to active project hours
  • Direct line to a Helmspur technical lead
Pilot a project

Bring one package. We'll show you what the watchtower sees.

A short pilot on a live package — typically a single discipline on one subsea or offshore scope — gives the technical lead something concrete to decide on. Pricing follows those active hours, so the pilot is contained.
