Industrial Engineering Services

For over 40 years, Osborn Consulting Engineers has been providing reliable industrial engineering services across Australia. Our expertise spans structural design, asset management, and operational support for the mining, energy, and heavy industrial sectors. By combining innovation with practical solutions, we deliver engineering outcomes that maximise efficiency, improve safety, and extend the life of critical infrastructure.

Our multidisciplinary team works with mining companies, contractors, and government bodies to provide engineering that is not only technically sound but also commercially viable. Whether it’s structural engineering for mining infrastructure, mine site constructability reviews, or structural rehabilitation for mining operations, our engineers bring the technical insight and experience required to manage complex industrial environments.

Structural Engineering for Mining Infrastructure

Mining operations rely on robust and durable structures to support continuous production. Our team provides structural engineering for mining infrastructure that ensures compliance, safety, and long-term performance.

Our expertise includes:

Design and assessment of heavy industry facilities.
Structural support for mining plants, conveyors, and storage facilities.
Engineering for haul roads, retaining walls, and foundations.
Integration of sustainable practices for long-term operational efficiency.

By applying proven methodologies, we help clients reduce risks, maintain compliance, and achieve operational excellence.

Heavy Industry Structural Assessments

The performance of heavy industry assets depends on consistent monitoring and maintenance. We specialise in heavy industry structural assessment, providing reliable insights that allow clients to plan maintenance, reduce downtime, and extend asset life.

Services include:

Comprehensive site inspections and reporting.
Load capacity analysis and performance testing.
Fitness for service assessments for mining structures.
Asset integrity management for mine sites.

Our assessments provide the foundation for informed decision-making, helping clients manage risks and optimise operational continuity.

Mine Site Constructability Reviews

Efficient delivery of mining projects begins with constructability. Our engineers perform detailed mine site constructability reviews to ensure designs are practical, buildable, and cost-effective.

We provide:

Early-stage constructability assessments.
Value engineering to reduce unnecessary costs.
Planning support to optimise construction sequencing.
Risk identification and mitigation strategies.

By embedding constructability into the design process, we help clients avoid costly delays and deliver projects more efficiently.

Structural Rehabilitation for Mining Operations

Industrial structures endure high loads, harsh conditions, and continuous use. Our team delivers structural rehabilitation for mining facilities that restore performance and extend the life of critical assets.

Rehabilitation services include:

Structural retrofitting with quality control processes.
Strengthening works to meet new operational demands.
Corrosion control and materials durability strategies.
Independent reviews of structural performance.

We use innovative methods to minimise disruptions, allowing operations to continue safely during rehabilitation works.

Asset Management Support for Heavy Industry

Effective asset management support for heavy industry ensures facilities operate safely, cost-effectively, and sustainably. Our engineers provide tailored services to monitor, assess, and maintain assets across their lifecycle.

Our support includes:

Asset condition assessments and lifecycle planning.
Preventive maintenance strategies.
Reducing downtime with structural inspections.
Data-driven recommendations for asset optimisation.

We partner with clients to build asset management frameworks that reduce costs, improve reliability, and extend service life.

Applying Lean Principles in Industrial Construction

Efficiency is a core value in industrial operations. By applying lean principles in industrial construction, we deliver projects that eliminate waste, streamline processes, and improve cost control.

Our lean-based approach ensures:

Optimised construction sequencing.
Reduced rework and material waste.
Safer, more efficient site operations.
Improved value for every investment.

This method allows clients to achieve stronger returns while maintaining quality and compliance.

Fitness for Service Assessments

Mining and heavy industrial assets must meet strict safety and performance requirements. We provide fitness for service assessments in mining to confirm whether assets can continue operating safely or require remediation.

Assessment capabilities include:

Load capacity evaluation.
Fatigue and fracture analysis.
Safety factor reviews for ageing assets.
Recommendations for rehabilitation or replacement.

These assessments help clients avoid unexpected failures, reduce downtime, and extend the life of critical structures.

Quality Control in Structural Retrofitting

Retrofitting is an effective way to adapt assets for new operational demands. Our engineers implement rigorous quality control processes in structural retrofitting to ensure compliance and reliability.

We provide:

Structural reviews of retrofitting designs.
On-site inspection during implementation.
Testing and certification of retrofitted assets.
Post-retrofit monitoring for ongoing performance.

By ensuring high standards in retrofitting, we support clients in maintaining safety and operational continuity.
