Question 1

Which engineering services can you help with?

Accepted Answer

You can get support across FEA, fatigue and durability, strain gauging, field testing, gearbox vibration, shiploader weighing and calibration, locomotive life assessment, lifting and jacking systems, CAD design, vehicle and mobile plant engineering, RPEQ certification, and rail wagon commissioning tests and data acquisition.

Question 2

Do you conduct commissioning tests and data acquisition for rail wagons?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we conduct commissioning tests and data acquisition for rail wagons, including strain gauging, stress measurement under dynamic loads, acceleration and vibration logging, wheel load and bogie displacement measurement, brake force validation, and compliance with ARA and TSI standards. We support OEMs, operators, and integrators to ensure wagons are safe and compliant before entering service.

Question 3

What FEA analysis can you provide?

Accepted Answer

You can get advanced FEA for stress, fatigue life, modal and harmonic response, thermal loads, and dynamic behaviour. We use ANSYS and SolidWorks Simulation, and we can provide RPEQ-certified reporting.

Question 4

Do you offer RPEQ review and sign-off for major designs and reports?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer RPEQ review and sign-off on all major designs, reports, and simulations for regulatory or tender compliance.

Question 5

Can you support rail and locomotive operators with maintenance or upgrades?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We help rail operators and contractors with:
Locomotive fatigue life assessment
Repair or overhaul verification via strain gauging and analysis
Engineering of lifting/jacking devices
RPEQ sign-off for modifications or lifting systems

Question 6

Can you support field testing and model correlation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can use our on-site strain gauging, dynamic testing, and data correlation to validate stress, natural frequencies, load paths, and fatigue risk. We support mining, defence, rail, and mobile plant projects.

Question 7

Do you provide precision weighing and calibration for shiploaders?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide precision weighing and calibration for shiploaders. Our services include jacking systems, load cells, and FEA-backed structural evaluations to fix alignment errors and weighbridge calibration issues.

Question 8

Do you provide gearbox vibration measurement and analysis?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We conduct vibration diagnostics including:
Gearbox condition monitoring
FFT and spectral analysis
Modal surveys and dynamic assessments
Root-cause vibration troubleshooting

Question 9

Do you assist with fatigue life estimation of welded or aged structures?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we assist with fatigue life estimation of welded or aged structures using real-world load spectrum input, Miner’s Rule, weld classification and stress range tables, and FEA-validated stress responses. This is critical for safety in ageing infrastructure and heavy-duty equipment.

Question 10

Do you provide CAD design and prototype development support?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer comprehensive CAD support, including parametric 3D modeling, manufacturing-ready drawings, design optimization, digital twins, and simulation-ready geometry and mesh preparation.

Question 11

Which industries do you work with?

Accepted Answer

You can work with us in mining, rail, ports, automotive, defence, and heavy machinery manufacturing.
