Who we are

A small firm of experienced people, based in Port Hedland.

We do four kinds of work: project delivery, engineering, data analysis and setting direction. On a job we bring the ones you need and work as part of your team, on your systems and to your standards.

We take on the jobs that are hard to scope and expensive to get wrong. We stay on site with your team and see the work through.

What we do

Four kinds of work, done by one team.

Most firms do one of these. We run all four together, on site, so the planning, the engineering and the numbers point the same way.

Project Management

We run brownfield, shutdown and campaign scopes as part of your team, from the business case through to close-out.

  • Brownfield & shutdown delivery
  • Business case & optioneering
  • Management of change
  • Stakeholder & regulator alignment

Engineering

Multidiscipline engineering that works in the field, from a sketch on the deck to a construction-ready design, across seven disciplines.

  • Concept, drafting & 3D design
  • Structural & mechanical upgrades
  • 3D laser scanning
  • Corrosion & materials

Data & Operational Intelligence

We take the data your assets already produce and turn it into a clear, defensible picture you can make a decision on.

  • Constraint first, then the data
  • Existing data into a defensible picture
  • Quantify the opportunity to prioritise
  • Analysis that backs a decision

Direction

Often the hard part is working out which question to ask before any delivery or analysis starts. We sit with your team, work out the real problem, weigh the options against how the site actually runs, and settle on a direction so the rest of the work pulls the same way.

  • Frame the real problem before committing resources
  • Weigh options against operational reality
  • Commit to a clear, defensible direction
  • Point delivery, engineering and analysis at the real constraint

How we work

We stay on the job until it's done.

We don't hand over a report and leave. Our people work in your team, on your systems, and stay with the job until it's delivered and running.

01

Experienced people on your team

Our people join your team and start contributing quickly, without a long mobilisation on your time.

02

One team across the scope

From scoping and design through to commissioning and handover, the same team runs the whole scope, so nothing gets lost in hand-offs.

03

We stay on after handover

We stay on while the work beds in, tuning and supporting it as the site changes.

Working around a running plant

Brownfield sites don't stop for a project.

The work is planned to happen safely around a running plant, inside your permits and shutdown windows. Because our people have worked on live sites before, they're useful early, and the work holds up after we've gone.

Where we operate

Based in Port Hedland, working across WA.

We work out of Port Hedland, with people in Perth too. We know the remote sites out here, and the logistics and access problems that come with them.
