Lateral Engineering Solutions (LES) is a Texas-licensed engineering firm providing mechanical design, structural analysis, and technical consulting for complex offshore and industrial systems. Founded in 2021 by Les Griffin, P.E., LES was built to deliver practical, results-driven engineering support through a flexible, collaborative model.

​

Les brings nearly 20 years of deepwater oil & gas experience, including lead roles in the design, qualification, and delivery of high-performance subsea equipment. That background informs the technical foundation of LES and guides how we support clients—from initial concept development through field deployment.

​

LES offers comprehensive engineering services including 2D/3D CAD design, static structural FEA, engineering calculations, and project engineering across the equipment lifecycle. We also provide expert support for prototype development, manufacturing and field non-conformance evaluations, repair assessments, and fit-for-service dispositions.

​

We’re not a manufacturer, manpower agency, or EPC—we’re an independent engineering partner focused on solving problems, improving equipment reliability, and reducing project risk. Our approach delivers the advantages of in-house technical capability without the overhead or onboarding burden.

​

Every LES engagement is rooted in a partnership mindset. We integrate directly with your team, adapt to your workflow, and align with your project objectives—whether supporting new design efforts, resolving technical challenges during fabrication, or helping keep critical equipment in service.
