Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering and Design is core to the team at Vertex. Years of experience in the processing, manufacturing, power, mining, smelting and automotive industries means that Vertex provides practical and cost-effective solutions to mechanical engineering problems from concept stage through to commissioning and beyond, for elements such as:

• Custom process equipment, eg. product conveyors, chutes, transfers
• Rotary kilns, driers and mills
• General mechanical equipment
• Steel structures
• Work platforms, access stairs & ladders
• Machinery guarding and safety assessments
• Plant and equipment layouts

The Vertex design philosophy is one built on real-world experience with practical consideration to easy and cost-effective manufacture, installation and servicing. Designs are of course also compliant with relevant Australian Standards, regulations and in-house protocol. The latest in 3D CAD and simulation software is utilised to assist in the development from concept to reality. For new projects, this enables an interactive forum for clients to visualise and "test" their new plant or equipment prior to the commencement of detailing, fabrication or procurement.

Comprehensive back-up to design and fabrication is provided by Vertex’s professional site crew for installations, servicing and repairs. Strong links with transport, crane and equipment hire companies also ensure that Vertex is able to provide a seamless and thoroughly-coordinated service for project-scale engineered solutions.
