Technical Services
- Heavy plant and machinery design meeting Australian and International design standards. Specialing in the design of special purpose machinery for the mining, marine, rail, aerospace, crane & heavy lift industries.
- Detailed stress analysis of mechanical plant and equipment using certification/military class finite element software.
- Engineering design certification of machinery including cranes and man carrying equipment for compliance with Australian and International design codes.
- Fatigue analysis and design life assessment in accordance with Australian and International standards. Design of fatigue critical weldments in accordance with IIW, ANSI, DNV, Australian and British fatigue design codes.
- Fatigue failure investigation.
- Redesign for fatigue life improvement.
- Development of crane and machinery life extension programs by redesign and or strengthening at fatigue critical locations.
- Crane and machinery duty cycle assessment for remaining life estimation before major overhaul including development of major overhaul planning and inspection programs.
- Real time data capture of machine stresses, shaft torques, accelerations and vibration using wireless measurement equipment.
- Strain gauging for validation of analytical models, duty cycle assessment and determination of in service loading including dynamic and overload conditions.
- Vibration analysis of new and existing designs to avoid resonance in.
Tools
- ANSYS Structural - certification & military class finite element software
- ANSYS Professional NLS - certification & military class finite element software
- Strand7 - general purpose finite element software
- BoltCalc - Bolt and joint fatigue analysis software
- Autodesk Inventor Design Suite Premium
- AutoCAD
- Solid Works
- Vishay strain recorders
- Microstrain remote wireless telemetry strain gauge and accelerometer nodes allowing measurement and logging of stress, torque, 3 axis accelerations and vibrations without the need for long cable runs. So cranes, mobile equipment, rotating machinery and shafts can be monitored while in operation at a safe distance.
