Structural analysis and upgrades
CMP Engineers provides specialist structural analysis and upgrade engineering for draglines and shovels operating in demanding mining environments. Our team has extensive experience assessing large scale mining equipment and developing practical solutions to address fatigue, overstress, damage and changing operational requirements.
We support owners and operators with independent, technically rigorous analysis that improves safety, reliability and long term asset performance.
Our structural engineering services
Structural integrity assessment
We assess major structural components to determine current condition, load capacity and suitability for ongoing service. This includes evaluation of frames, booms, masts, tubs, machinery houses and supporting structures.
Finite element analysis
CMP Engineers applies advanced finite element analysis to model realistic load cases, stress distribution, deflection and fatigue behaviour under operating conditions.
Fatigue and life assessment
We evaluate fatigue life of critical structural components, identify high risk areas and provide recommendations for inspection, repair or upgrade.
Upgrade and strengthening design
Our engineers develop structural upgrades, reinforcements and modifications to address cracking, overstress, increased loads or life extension requirements.
Damage assessment and repair design
CMP Engineers assesses damage resulting from wear, cracking or incidents and designs practical repair solutions that restore structural integrity.
Verification and certification
We provide RPEQ certified analysis, design and documentation to support regulatory compliance and operational approval.
