Structural, Mechanical & Electrical Engineering
End-to-end engineering services for bulk materials handling equipment, enabling safe operation under increased loading and modern standards compliance.
Our Approach
Igneum provides integrated structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering services for complex fixed and mobile equipment. Our multi-discipline capability means clients work with a single engineering team that understands the full system — eliminating gaps between disciplines and delivering cohesive solutions.
We specialise in the engineering challenges that arise when aging equipment must handle increased operational demands, such as higher-density products or extended economic operating lifetime. Our engineers develop detailed modification designs, perform comprehensive structural verification, and deliver engineering documentation to construction-ready standards.
Fatigue assessment is a core strength. We apply both simplified and advanced fatigue methodologies — including detailed trend data analysis for existing equipment — to ensure structural modifications and existing members meet their required design life under real-world loading conditions.
Equipment & Applications
- Bucket wheel reclaimers
- Linear, radial, and overhead stackers
- Shiploaders and ship unloaders
- Conveyor gantries and transfer towers
- Fixed structures
- Electrical control systems and instrumentation
Key Benefits
- Multi-discipline integration — Structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering delivered as a coordinated package, reducing interfaces and project risk.
- Standards compliance — All work compliant with governing standards such as AS 4324.1, ISO 5049-1, or FEM II, and country-specific electrical standards.
- Advanced fatigue capability — Specialist fatigue assessments that go beyond standard code checks to address real-world loading complexity.
- Construction-ready deliverables — Engineering documentation produced to a standard that supports direct procurement and construction.
