Best Practice Design
IMS utilises a multitude of computer-aided design (CAD) software packages. Our design approach focuses on best practice manufacturing methodologies.
These principles are often overlooked—however, with over 30 years of custom numerical manufacturing and fabrication construction expertise, IMS will deliver the most cost-effective solution.
Mechanical Application Design
The IMS study of application design revolves around multiple operative variables controlling the design target. As such the need to adopt innovative solutions through CAD design has become critical when undertaking such mechanical/process design optimisation.
Structural Application Design
Structural Integrity Management is becoming increasingly important for resource assets reaching their end of original design life. Such structures are generally high risk being highly specialised, heavily loaded and subjected to demanding operative conditions. To manage structural fatigue/risks IMS undertakes comprehensive audits, inspections, advanced structural analyses, calculations and engineering reporting for a range of process plant steel structures common within the resources sector.
Calculations
Such calculations are derived based on current Australian Standard Practices. Analysing structural equipment or mechanical design must ensure compliance and that best practices are maintained to achieve fit for purpose results. After the calculation summary has been completed IMS will provide a detailed report forming part of the certification process.
Design Verification & Certificate Compliance Deliverables
IMS is compliant with Australian Standard Design conformities such as AS1100, AS1170, AS1252.1 AS1657, AS1665, AS1657, AS3990, AS4100, AS4991, AS1418:2002 Crane Code and National Transport Commission.
Certification is an industry compulsory requirement. Our certification process consists of both scientific FEA and manual calculations relevant to the design application and we can certify a wide range of mechanical and structural equipment both existing and non-compliant assets. All designs are certified by a chartered MIE professional engineer (CP Eng. Mech/Struct.).
