Practical engineering for industrial assets.
Mechanical design, analysis, RPEQ verification and asset decisions built around the real load path, operating duty and evidence available on site.
What are you trying to solve?
Industrial projects rarely arrive as a neat service category. Start with what changed, what failed or what decision needs to be made.
Something has failed
Crack, failed weld, deformation, corrosion, damage or an unexpected equipment response.
See the engineering pathway →MODSomething is changing
Plant modification, increased duty, new attachment, support change or altered mechanical interface.
See the engineering pathway →VERIFYSomething needs verification
Design review, calculations, drawings or an RPEQ engineering outcome for an agreed scope.
See the engineering pathway →DESIGNSomething needs designing
New equipment, fabricated assembly, mechanism, skid, support, interface or mechanical system.
See the engineering pathway →ANALYSESomething needs analysing
Complex stress, stiffness, stability, local detail or load-path behaviour needs deeper analysis.
See the engineering pathway →ASSESSInspection found something
Turn inspection evidence into an engineering decision about action, repair, monitoring or continued service.
See the engineering pathway →From evidence to a defensible engineering outcome.
RPEQ Engineering & Design Verification
Project-specific engineering assessment, independent review and RPEQ verification for mechanical plant, equipment and supporting structures.
Explore service →02Mechanical Design & Development
Practical design of industrial equipment, fabricated assemblies, mechanisms, hydraulic systems and mechanical interfaces from concept through verification-ready documentation.
Explore service →03Finite Element Analysis (FEA) & Advanced Analysis
Engineering-led FEA for stresses, stiffness, stability, local details and complex load paths—supported by a clear design basis rather than a colourful plot alone.
Explore service →04Plant Modifications, Repairs & Damage Assessment
Engineering assessment for cracked, deformed, corroded or modified plant—so repair, reinforcement, replacement and return-to-service decisions have a defensible technical basis.
Explore service →05Asset Integrity & Fitness-for-Service Support
Engineering support that connects inspection evidence to the asset decision: what is acceptable, what needs more information and what requires repair, restriction or redesign.
Explore service →06Industrial Structures & Mechanical Steelwork
Design and assessment of equipment frames, skids, platforms, supports, access structures and mechanical steelwork with the load path and equipment interface kept front and centre.
Explore service →Understand the asset before choosing the calculation.
Good engineering is more than analysis software or a signature. We define the decision, establish the evidence and design basis, analyse what matters, then document the outcome clearly enough for the next person to use.

Engineering guidance before project-specific engineering begins.
Use AS Applied to screen a plant issue, identify evidence gaps, run practical engineering checks and understand what may need professional review.
Useful thinking from real engineering decisions.
What should happen when a crack is found in plant?
A practical engineering sequence for preserving evidence, controlling risk and deciding what assessment is actually required before repair or return to service.
Read insight →FEA & analysisWhy FEA needs an engineering question before it needs a mesh
Boundary conditions, load cases and interpretation matter more than producing a visually impressive stress plot.
Read insight →Plant modificationsRepair or plant modification: why the distinction matters
Restoring original function and changing the engineering basis are not the same decision.
