AEROSPACE
Specialising in structural assessment. Digitalising the world of MRO.
MES is a global leader in structural assessment, delivering advanced metrology, laser tracking, and digital damage assessment solutions to the aerospace industry.
Using industry-leading measurement technologies, provided by Hexagon and proprietary data-processing workflows, we help operators, MROs, OEMs, and lessors rapidly assess structural damage, develop repair solutions, and return aircraft to service faster. Whether supporting routine inspections, complex structural repairs, or unprecedented damage events, MES provides accurate digital data that enables confident engineering decisions and reduced operational disruption.
When an aircraft is grounded away from its maintenance base, MES can provide rapid-response metrology and engineering support to capture accurate damage data, assess structural condition and support repair decisions.
OUR AEROSPACE CAPABILITIES
LASER TRACKING AND SCANNING
Complex damage assessment made easy
MES utilises advanced laser tracking and 3D scanning technologies to rapidly capture accurate structural data across aircraft and engine assets.
high-accuracy metrology-grade measurement
Scanning capability from individual components to complete aircraft structures
Rapid capture of complex geometries and large target volumes
Accurate digital representation of damaged structures
Reduced aircraft downtime through faster assessment processes
Elimination of lengthy manual measurement activities
Digital datasets suitable for direct OEM engineering review
Proven capability supporting major and previously unseen structural repairs
By creating highly accurate digital models of damaged structures, MES enables engineers and OEMs to assess repair requirements more efficiently and accelerate return-to-service activities.
Our combination of advanced measurement technologies and engineering expertise enables quicker repair development and more informed decision-making.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES
Fast, accurate, engineering data
MES delivers comprehensive digital damage assessment solutions that provide engineering teams with the information required to evaluate complex structural events quickly and accurately.
Rapid damage capture — accurately capture and document damage using advanced 3D scanning and metrology.
Digital damage mapping — create accurate digital representations of dents, deformation and structural damage.
Dimensional assessment — measure damage against engineering requirements, tolerances and available reference data.
Damage quantification — establish the size, depth, location and extent of damage to support engineering decisions.
Repeatable inspection — capture consistent measurement data to support monitoring of damage progression or repair.
Hard-to-access inspection — use portable metrology and scanning equipment where conventional measurement methods are difficult or impractical.
Engineering-ready data — provide accurate inspection data that can be used directly within downstream engineering and repair processes.

Case Study - Hailstorm Damage
Following a severe hailstorm, a commercial aircraft sustained widespread surface damage and was placed in Aircraft on Ground (AOG) status. With every hour of downtime impacting operations and cost, a fast and accurate engineering assessment was critical to understand the extent of damage, prioritise inspections, and define an effective repair strategy.
