Specialist Mechanical and Structural Engineering Services in Western Australia.

​​

Design

With 20+ years in heavy engineering design, we can turn your idea into reality. We offer a full product development service, including:

  • Concept generation and evaluation

  • Detailed 3D CAD design

  • Drafting

Finite Element Analysis

Using industry-leading software, we conduct advanced simulations to evaluate and optimise designs. Specialties include:

  • Structural and Weld Fatigue

  • Nonlinear Analysis and Dynamics

  • Compliance with AS4100, BS7608, ASME VIII, and other standards.

Certification

Registered CPEng Mechanical & Structural, NER, RPEQ engineering sign-off and certification.

These typically include:

  • Structural Design (AS4100)

  • Alternative Proof Load certification (AS4991)

  • Transport frame certification (AS4100 & NTC Load Restraint Guide)

  • Drawbar certification (ADR 62)

DEM

We use DEM to simulate the interaction between structures and bulk materials. This helps:

  • Predict high-wear regions and power consumption

  • Accurately transfer dynamic loads into the structural model

  • Evaluate material flow and centre-of-gravity movement

Testing

We are experts in on-site and lab-based strain gauge testing, particularly in validating weld fatigue —a critical failure mode in all mobile equipment. Our capabilities include:

  • Strain gauge installation and data acquisition

  • Fatigue life prediction and failure investigation

  • Verification of FEA models with physical testing

CFD

With the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations we gain better insight into fluid flow behaviour.

Let us:

  • Evaluate the flow in your design

  • Optimise the geometry to enhance flow characteristics.
