Mechanical and structural engineering, FEA verification and fabrication-ready documentation, across mining, materials handling, custom machinery and structural steelwork. Every design is reduced to first principles, verified by hand or FEA, and documented to a quality the workshop can build from directly.
We work on industrial, mining and architectural projects around Perth and across Western Australia. The experience comes from years inside established Perth engineering firms, and the same discipline carries over here: proper checks, clean documentation, and everything tied back to the standards.
Every brief is reduced to first principles before geometry is committed. Loads are calculated, load paths traced, materials selected against the appropriate code, and the design verified by hand or by FEA before drawings are issued. No assumptions, no shortcuts.
Senger Engineering operates within the framework of Australian Standards. The references below describe the principal codes consulted across mechanical, structural, welding and access work, selected per project to suit the application and client specification.
Additional standards (AS 1210 pressure vessels, AS 2885 pipelines, AS 1170.4 earthquake actions, AS/NZS 1252 high-strength bolts, project-specific client specifications) consulted as required.
Engagement begins with a clear, written scope: deliverables, governing standards, client specifications, interfaces with other trades, and acceptance criteria. No work begins before the brief is agreed.
Loads are calculated, load paths traced and critical components sized by hand or spreadsheet before any 3D geometry is committed. The concept is validated against the brief and discussed with the client.
3D modelling and detailing in SOLIDWORKS. Where required, FEA is performed in SOLIDWORKS Simulation for stress, deflection and fatigue verification, with mesh studies and convergence documented in a formal report.
General arrangement, fabrication and shop drawings produced to construction-ready quality in AutoCAD and SOLIDWORKS Drawings. Bills of materials, weld schedules, bolt callouts and surface treatment notes included as required for issue to fabricator.
Drawing queries, fabrication RFIs and minor design adjustments resolved in collaboration with the fabricator and client. Revisions issued and documented through to as-built where required.
