Our Services
Advisory Services
We can provide professional advisory services in engineering, innovation, certification, standards and specifications. We also offer support, guidance and mentoring in these areas.
Advisory services we offer:
- Prefeasibility Analysis
- Front End Engineering and Design
- Preliminary, Concept and Detailed Design
- Standards, Manuals and Technical Specification Development
- Coaching and Mentoring
- Risk Assessment Workshop Facilitation including HAZOP, FMECA/FMEA and Stakeholder Consultation
If your project requirements fall outside our field of expertise then we can connect you to our vast network of engineers, academics and other professionals.
Compliance Auditing
We pride ourselves on taking a practical approach to machine safety and providing effective solutions to help keep your workplace safe and productive, whilst also meeting your obligations under current workplace health and safety legislation and Australian/International Standards.
We have extensive compliance auditing experience with the WHS Act, Regulations, Codes of Practice and Australian Standards.
Generally speaking, compliance to Australian Standards is not mandatory however courts frequently consult them when it is necessary to assess whether sufficient measures were taken to reduce risk. As a result, non-compliance can have very serious consequences.
Compliance auditing areas we specialise in include:
- Cranes, Hoists and Winches including Third-Party Inspections and Design Working Period Assessments
- Conveyors and Materials Handling Systems
- Fixed Platforms, Walkways, Stairways and Ladders
- Pressure Vessels
- Pipes and Pumping Systems including Valves, Flanges, Fittings and Gaskets
- Safety of Machinery including Machine Guarding and Conveyor Safety
- Steel Structures including Static & Dynamic Analysis and Wind Loading Assessments
- Storage and Handling of Flammable, Combustible, Corrosive and Toxic Chemicals
Engineering Services
Our core expertise is Mechanical Engineering Design and Certification.
We start each project by conducting manual calculations using engineering first principles, then we verify the results using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) or Discrete Element Modelling (DEM). This method allows us to be confident that our clients receive the right design result on each project we deliver. Other consultants rely solely on computer simulations which is not good engineering practice because human or software errors can occur.
As part of our design verification process, we can provide engineering certification and/or engineering reports. All our designs are reviewed and signed off by Chartered Professional Engineers.
Engineering services we offer:
- Mechanical Engineering Design
- Certification
- 3rd Party Verification
- Fatigue Analysis
- Static and Dynamic Analysis
We are proficient in the following computer aided design analysis tools:
- Finite Element Analysis
- Computational Fluid Dynamics
- Discrete Element Modelling
Project Management
Our engineers can help your business manage complex engineering projects and we have extensive experience as the ‘Principal’s Representative’ to help guide and instruct installation contractors during construction projects.
We have a broad engineering background that allows us to understand and appreciate the drivers and needs that other engineering disciplines care about. This allows us to foresee and mitigate potential issues before they occur.
Engaging IEP on your next project will ensure you get the best possible results.
