TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION
OGC Engineers Editing provides a comprehensive service for preparation, proofreading, copy editing and structural editing of technical documents. OGC Engineers provides expertise in preparing:
The production of clearly written documentation in good English is essential to ensure the requirements of a project are clearly and unambiguously defined. Poorly drafted documentation is open to misinterpretation causing delays, rework, wasted materials and claims. Eliminating grammatical and spelling errors, improving the flow of ideas, ensuring correct referencing and aligning with project requirements makes the difference between confusion and clarity. Clarity is especially important for projects with multinational participants who do not necessarily speak English as a first language.
OCG Engineers’ editing draws on experience spanning more than 30 years of technical documentation drafting and editing and covering tenders, contracts, technical proposals, feasibility studies, scopes of work, narratives, design basis, method statements, implementation plans, risk assessments, quality procedures and manuals and operations and maintenance manuals. This long experience has been applied to project implementation for multi-million dollar projects undertaken by major international companies and contractors based in the UK, USA, Japan, Italy and the Middle East and also in the context of process improvement projects for smaller companies.
Editing ensures the structure and style is compliant with institutional or publication requirements. Generally, academic institutions restrict the scope of third party editing for journal papers, dissertations and theses and do not permit structural editing, rewriting or any activity affecting the originality of the work. However the academic editor can check consistency of abstract, summary and conclusions; correct spelling and grammar and the referencing style and suggest improvements to continuity and flow of ideas.
OGC Engineers’ professional editing experience can make the difference between honours and failure; between publication and rejection.
OGC Engineers’ professional editing service will identify broken or misdirected links and ensure that the content is precise and relevant.
Atholl Robertson, principal of OGC Engineers, is a chartered engineer with more than 40 years’ industrial experience in mechanical utilities and electrical engineering.

He has extensive experience in drafting and editing of technical documents and editing of multidisciplinary academic publications, dissertations and theses to a high standard, working to a tight schedule.
An experienced writer, he can guide you or draft documentation for you to achieve clear communication with maximum impact.

Substantive edit
Lighting in the South Kensington Museum uses both arc and incandescent lamps; there are 860 incandescent lamps of 16 candle-power, working for 655½ hours per annum. This is larger installation than in either of the clubs abovementioned, and the reported annual running cost is much less.
“Atholl drafted and edited many engineering documents, including method statements, procedures, narratives, proposals, technical queries and reports. These were produced to a very high standard, being precise, unambiguous and clear. This was a great advantage to us, due to many of the client's personnel not being native English speakers. I would highly recommend Atholl both as an engineer and as a technical editor.”
Stephen O’Callaghan, Project Director, SNC--Lavalin, ELE-1, Ichthys Onshore LNG Facilities, Australia.
“Atholl’s report was thorough and this will allow us to implement his recommendations with the new website currently being developed. In addition to his proofing of grammar, Atholl also picked up broken and incorrect hyperlinks that have remained long after pages had been removed or deleted.”
Bryan Livingston, Director, Brewers Coop 2016 Ltd
