CAD design

Translating data into engineered reality

Our CAD (Computer-Aided Design) service is the critical link between data capture and physical installation. We utilise state-of-the-art software packages to transform survey data, conceptual ideas, and reverse engineering requirements into precise, manufacturable designs.

We go far beyond simply drawing lines—our CAD expertise ensures that every project, whether a complex structural modification or a simple component replacement, is perfectly engineered for accuracy and efficiency.

Precision deliverables for manufacturing and fitting

Our design process is built to support the entire project lifecycle, ensuring seamless integration between the design office and the workshop floor.

• 3D modelling: We produce highly detailed 3D models of components, assemblies, and entire plant sections. This allows for rigorous pre-construction review, clash detection, and accurate client visualisation before any fabrication begins.
• Technical 2D drawings: We generate fully specified 2D technical drawings, including orthographic and isometric views. These drawings serve as the precise instruction manual for our fabrication and fitting teams, ensuring adherence to tight tolerances.
• Design for manufacture: Our engineers focus on design for manufacture (DFM), ensuring that components are not only structurally sound but also efficient and cost-effective to produce across materials ranging from carbon steel to specialised alloys.

Integrating design with asset integrity

The true value of our CAD service lies in its integration with our other offerings, particularly in solving complex modification challenges.

• Modification and improvement: We use the intelligence gathered from 3D scanning to model modifications directly onto existing plant assets (like the multi-functioning reclaimer tool). This ensures that any system upgrade is designed with absolute confidence in fit and performance.
• Reverse engineering: When original documentation is missing, we take precise scan data and use CAD to create accurate digital geometry. This enables the rapid reproduction, analysis, or strategic improvement of obsolete parts.
• Client visualisation: We provide clear, rendered images and cross-sectional views of our models, allowing clients to fully approve the design, geometry, and functionality before any physical work commences.
