Solving Structural Engineering Challenges
Bolts are an essential item in a bolted connection, and whilst that sounds like the ultimate obvious statement, you would not believe how many missing bolts we discover in our structural inspections. Some (due to misaligned holes) were NEVER installed. When we calculate bolt group strength, and we need 5.3…
The question itself is a paradox. Inspecting a site requires that the inspector is there, on-site. Doesn’t it? But as technology advances, and people discover there are other, often better, ways to do things, new opportunities come to light. For all of its evils, COVID-19 has also been the catalyst…
Watch? How do you watch a report? Video, baby! We’re not exactly known for doing things the ‘regular’ way! A ‘regular’ structural inspection involves a site visit by a (hopefully) structural engineer, a thorough inspection of all things visible and accessible, and the all-important report – a behemoth of findings…
Downtime cost a fortune. Surprisingly, it’s at the same level today as it was 30 years ago. Why? Things are so much better these days. We’re in the future now, with increased reliability and smart, innovative machines! The Failure of A Single Item Can Be Enough to Cause a Total…
Structural Integrity – The Mine Safety Inspector is coming! Do you, or your mine site clients, have a “safe working environment”? Does anyone? Accidents happen. And when they do, there’s an enquiry. And when there’s an enquiry, there’s almost always a fine to an employer for “failing to provide a…
