Detailed Design Analysis


Australian Drafting & Design Pty Ltd have prided themselves in meeting the challenges of advanced and often first-principle analysis. Applying a deep understanding of engineering science principles and supplemented with advanced engineering tools such as finite element analysis software and solid modelling.


  • Design Auditing

    With over 30 years experience in a broad range of engineering, Australian Drafting & Design Pty Ltd are well placed to determine if all appropriate steps have been followed in the design analysis. The shoes on a large rotary kiln developed cracks in the attachment welds and broke lose within weeks of commissioning. A major consulting firm undertook the redesign and asked Australian Drafting & Design Pty Ltd to serve as Peer Reviewer. The outcome resulted in a number of recommendations, but most importantly, gave confidence that the design approach was comprehensive. Other reviews include a number of very high temperature processing items of plant.

  • Failure Analysis

    Australian Drafting & Design Pty Ltd have been involved in failure analysis for many years. Failure analysis of a wide range of equipment has been undertaken from draglines through large storage tanks through motor/truck/boat engine and gearbox failures. Several of these have progressed to litigation. Australian Drafting & Design Pty Ltd pride themselves in completing the investigation within agreed time and budget. With few exceptions, reason for failure has always been established with a high degree of certainty. If appropriate and being engineers, Australian Drafting & Design Pty Ltd will recommend a preferred solution for repair and prevention.

  • Materials and Corrosion Investigations

    Australian Drafting & Design Pty Ltd have extensive experience in materials and corrosion investigations. The experience is usefully applied to assist in failure investigations, which often involves material related issues. Advice has been given for appropriate use of materials in corrosion environments. Recent advice has been given to a large mineral processing plant in the best selection of material containing difficult combinations of fluids including Ammonia and Ammonium Carbonates.

  • Pressure Vessel Design and Life Extension Studies

    Australian Drafting & Design Pty Ltd have over 15 years experience in all aspects of pressure vessel design, manufacture and life extension analysis. They are fully conversant with the application of the applicable Australian Standard, AS1200, and the State and National Regulations governing pressure equipment. Advice has been given to a large international boiler manufacturer intent on tendering for construction of a boiler in Australia. Requirements for compliance was examined and detailed. Recently, the situation of pressurised plate heat exchangers in relation to state regulations and AS1200 was examined and recommendations given. Examination of the cause of cracking in a number of large processing pressure vessels was undertaken and recommendations given for life extension. In keeping abreast of the latest methods for fatigue analysis, Australian Drafting & Design Pty Ltd are competent in the application of the advanced methodology of Fracture Mechanics in determining remaining life of any component having crack defects.

We Work Closely with Mechanical Engineering Companies in Sydney

Mechanical engineering companies in Sydney require a skilled service to assist with a project before it commences building. Any component or part must be as detailed as possible through proper visualisation with thorough analysis and communication. Mechanical engineering plays a huge role in various sectors such as automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and computing, to name a few. Australian Drafting & Design Pty Ltd is a company that provides engineering services, amongst others.

What to Expect from Australian Drafting & Design Pty Ltd as Mechanical Engineers in Sydney


As a leader in our field, we pride ourselves on meeting the challenges of advanced and in some instances, first-principled analysis. We engage with our in-depth knowledge and understanding of engineering principles coupled with modern technological tools such as computer software, to provide exceptional service.


  • We have the experience to inspect designs and analyse them efficiently. Our team has served as Peer Reviewers on several cases to provide recommendations and confidence to the rebuild design. As a result, you’re aware if there are any design flaws.
  • We conduct failure analysis on a wide range of equipment ranging from storage tanks to automotive engines and gearbox breakdowns. The majority of these cases end up in court where we complete our investigation within time and budget. We always strive to find the reason for the failure and recommend a solution for repair and prevention.
  • Our training and skills have allowed us to deal with all aspects of pressure vessel design, manufacture and analysis of life extension. We adhere to the Australian Standard AS1200, and the state and national regulations that govern pressure equipment. We’ve assisted a large boiler manufacturer that was about to ply their trade in the country. We also adopt fracture mechanics to determine the remaining life of a component with crack defects.

What You Should Know About Electrical Engineers in Sydney


Electrical engineering deals with the design, building and maintenance of machines, equipment and other electrical systems. There are elements of electrical engineering in the civil and mechanical branches as well. The main focus is on large-scale electrical circuits such as transport networks, lift systems, lighting, air conditioning and such elements.


  • Electrical engineers play a part in adhering to regulations relating to safety. They provide direction or co-ordinate manufacturing, construction and other similar elements to ensure the end product is within specifications and meets the client requirements.
  • To assist with engineering tasks, the electrical engineer may use computer software to minimise human error. The software assists in creating technical drawings for electrical systems or topographical maps to ensure that the installation and operations all conform to a particular standard.
  • A professional electrical engineering company regularly confers with other engineers to address current or future engineering projects. Thereafter, they design, maintain and implement parts, components and products for commercial, domestic or industrial use.
