INDUSTRIES

Industries

We operate within the following four distinct industries
Defence & Shipbuilding-Oil & Gas-Mining & Resource-Port & Marine.

Defence & Shipbuilding

We have been servicing the resource industry with the provision of field engineering services and the operation of specialised equipment in the Asia/Pacific since 1989.
The tension between the naval architect, shipyard, and propulsion vendor come into high relief when a vessel does not meet performance specifications at the sea trials. 

We provide this industry with the ability to verify actual weight and calculated centre of gravity during the build process to ensure that there are no surprises! 

We also assist with the engineering and logistics of load out/load in and marine transportation. Link to our services

Oil & Gas

Modules, various structures, process items, moorings, and subsea items of equipment require the verification of design and lifting sizing to meet stringent lifting and handling safety factors in the Oil & Gas industry. 
Our Grade A NATA certified Loadcell equipment and associated hydraulics provide the industry with weight and centre of gravity design verification at the point of handover and acceptance.
Weighing operations are typically witnessed by representatives of each party and frequently by an independent consultant.

Features of our hydraulic system include:
  • Synchronised lift/fixed displacement hydraulic power-packs that ensures equal amounts of hydraulic oil are delivered to each pool
  • Pressure relief valves at the power pack can be manually adjusted to ensure jack & system Safe Working Loads are not exceeded
  • Incorporation of counterbalance valves fitted to the jack manifold that ensures that the jack holds the load until it’s driven down, (even with open hose failure) 
  • The 250 Tonne jacks are designed for a WLL of 270 Tonne and incorporate a pressure relief valve to eliminate the risk of overload, (particularly of the Load Cells)
  • The jacks are machined from a solid billet of steel

Mining & Resource

We have completed a vast amount of work in the Mining & Resource sector in the last 25 years.
These projects have included all forms of materials handling equipment - Stackers, Reclaimers, Shiploaders, rail cars, car tippers, haul packs/dump trucks and miscellaneous structures. 

Weighing of bulk handling mobile equipment is carried out in accordance with of AS4324.1 §5.9: Mobile Equipment for Continuous Handling of Bulk Materials. (Requirement for better than +/- 1% accuracy). 

The unique feature of being able to insert the Loadcell into the jack rod to reduce the overall weight is a differentiator when weighing Reclaimer superstructures where we typically position eight jacks. 

Similarly to the Oil & Gas weighing activities, we work in conjunction with specialist material handling consulting engineers and client witnesses.

Port & Marine

The weighing jack/Loadcell combination lends itself to the weighing of container cranes, which we have completed in all the major ports in Australia. 
Container cranes can be quite challenging due to point load distribution constraints on the wharf as well as the requirement for temporary steel at the load/ejection points.
