Lifting engineering & certification
ABA Structures provides specialised services to heavy industries, including the design of lifting and transportation frames and specifying safe working loads (SWL). We understand the unique requirements and challenges involved in lifting and transporting heavy equipment, materials, and structures, and our expertise allows us to deliver tailored solutions.
Our comprehensive lifting engineering services encompass various aspects to ensure the safety and efficiency of lifting operations. These services include:
- Performing Code Compliance Calculations: We meticulously analyse and evaluate lifting and transportation frames to ensure compliance with relevant codes and standards. By adhering to industry regulations, we ensure that our designs meet the necessary safety requirements.
- Structural Analysis and Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Through advanced structural analysis techniques and FEA, we assess the structural integrity and behaviour of lifting frames. This enables us to identify potential weaknesses, optimise the design, and ensure the frames can withstand the anticipated loads and forces encountered during lifting and transportation operations.
- Preparation of Full Engineering Reports: We provide comprehensive engineering reports documenting the design process, analysis results, and compliance with applicable standards. These reports serve as valuable client references, providing detailed insights into the design rationale and demonstrating adherence to industry best practices.
- Preparation of 3D and 2D Drawings for Lifting Frames: We utilise advanced design software to create detailed 3D and 2D drawings of lifting frames. These drawings accurately depict the dimensions, components, and assembly details, facilitating clear communication and enabling precise fabrication and installation.
- Specification of Safe Working Loads (SWL): We determine the appropriate safe working loads for lifting frames, skids, and other accessories based on specific requirements and load characteristics. This ensures that the equipment is operated within safe limits, mitigating the risk of accidents or structural failure.
- Certification of Drawings and Designs: We certify the accuracy and compliance of the drawings and designs of lifting and transportation frames. Our certification assures clients that the structures are designed and engineered by qualified professionals and meet the necessary standards and regulations.
By offering these specialised lifting engineering services, ABA Structures assists heavy industries in ensuring the safe and efficient lifting and transportation of equipment, materials, and structures. Our expertise and attention to detail enable us to deliver reliable and optimised solutions that meet the specific needs of our clients.
Design of special structures
At ABA Structures, we understand the specific requirements of industries such as mining and oil & gas when it comes to the transportation and installation of equipment and machinery. We collaborate closely with process and mechanical engineers to gain a deep understanding of the intended function of the structures and provide optimal solutions tailored to their needs.
Our comprehensive range of services aims to deliver high-quality engineering solutions for these specialised structures. These services include:
- Performing Special Analyses with Professional Software: We employ state-of-the-art software and advanced analysis techniques to conduct specialised analyses of the structures. Using techniques such as finite element analysis (FEA), we assess various aspects such as structural behaviour, stress distribution, and dynamic response. This ensures that the structures are capable of withstanding operational loads and environmental conditions.
- Performing Code Compliance Calculations: We prioritise adherence to industry codes and standards to ensure the design of the structures meets all safety, performance, and regulatory requirements. Our team performs meticulous code compliance calculations to verify that the structures comply with the relevant standards.
- Preparing Full Engineering Reports: We provide comprehensive engineering reports encompassing the entire design process. These reports document the analysis results, design considerations, and compliance with applicable standards. They serve as valuable references, facilitating clear communication and offering a detailed record of the engineering behind the structures.
- Preparation of Detailed Design Drawings: Our experienced team employs advanced design software to create detailed design drawings for specialised structures. These drawings capture intricate details, dimensions, and assembly instructions, ensuring accuracy and precision during fabrication and installation.
By offering these services, ABA Structures ensures that industries requiring specialised structures have access to reliable and efficient engineering solutions. Our collaborative approach with the process and mechanical engineers, coupled with our expertise in analysis and compliance, enables us to deliver structures that meet the unique needs of each industry.
