Superior Outcomes with Advanced Analysis

Advanced analysis techniques enable an enhanced understanding of structural behaviour. These analyses are particularly valuable when standard design assumptions no longer apply, for assessing static stress, buckling, fatigue, dynamic response, and thermal effects in irregular structures, or where deflection or vibration behaviour may impact performance. This provides our clients with precise evaluations and optimised engineering solutions for complex structural challenges.

We Take on Challenges Other Companies Shy Away From

SIE utilise a variety of structural analysis software tools
including geometric modelling, frame analysis and
advanced finite element analysis. Effective use of these
tools allows us to achieve: 

  • A more detailed understanding of structural behavior in
    complex structures and structural elements through
    simulation methods.
  • A more accurate method of assessment for strength
    and safety of structures, whether existing or in the
    design phase. 
  • The ability to optimize design of structures, or
    remediation/strengthening requirements by the use of
    parametric investigations or what-if scenarios.
  • Accurate re-creation of failure conditions of structures
    enabling identification of root causes and contributors
    to structural failures.

Precision Analysis for Critical Decisions.

In the right circumstances and with appropriate
application, advanced analysis techniques can provide
significant benefits to owners of structures. Our clients
benefit from our experience in a wide range of static,
dynamic, linear and non-linear modelling and analysis of
structures by:

  • Having structural engineers with high levels of
    experience working on your project such that complex
    and unconventional structural components are
    appropriately assessed to be able to determine their
    strength and safety status. 
  • The assessment of a structure is being conducted to a
    level of detail commensurate with its complexity.  
  • Being able to visualise both the issue and the solution
    with highly graphical and illustrative pictorial outputs
    from FE packages and being able to utilise the models
    for multiple purposes and investigations/assessments. 
  • Being able to investigate structural failures to the
    necessary degree of accuracy and detail to reliably
    identify the contributing factors and the requirements
    for prevention of a recurrence.

Some of our Advanced Analysis Projects:

MB2

 

Mooring Bollard Integrity Review

This project involved a visual inspection and engineering review of various mooring bollards to assess structural integrity and mitigate failure risks. It built on previous bollard assessments across multiple Pilbara ports and focused on documentation review, inspection planning, and condition reporting.

2603

Radial Stacker Audit

SIE provided audit engineering services for a Radial Stacker, reviewing design compliance with AS4324.1 and conducting detailed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and site assessments. The project leveraged SIE’s extensive experience in machine audits and standards development.

2762

Stacker Upgrade Audit

SIE audited the structural upgrade of a Stacker using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to assess the impact of increased loading on existing components. The audit confirmed structural integrity under revised conditions and supported final inspection and compliance with AS4324.1.
