Capital Works Engineering and New Design
Capital projects and design that deliver certainty
Reliable, practical capital works engineering that keeps complex projects moving, from early feasibility through to fully documented, construction ready designs.
In heavy industrial and infrastructure environments, capital works often stall because information is unclear, outdated or incomplete. Legacy drawings, undocumented modifications and unknown site constraints can quickly turn straightforward upgrades into high-risk, multistage challenges.
Advitech’s engineers turn complexity into clarity. Our structural and civil specialists work directly with your team to deliver practical, standards-aligned designs that reflect real site conditions, enabling safer decisions, compliant designs and smoother project execution.
Our Capital Works Engineering Capabilities
Comprehensive capital project engineering and design services that support concept development, detailed engineering and project delivery.
Structural Design for Major Projects
Design of steel and reinforced concrete structures, stainless steel/hybrid, composite members for complex industrial facilities, tailored to real operating conditions.
Civil Infrastructure Design
Design of foundation systems – pad, strip, raft, conventional piles and screw piles, pavements, and stormwater
Bridge & Infrastructure Design
New bridges, replacements and staged delivery programs for regional, industrial and transport clients.
Materials Handling & Processing Structures
Practical engineering for bunkers, conveyors, stackers, reclaimers, cranes, transfer stations, thickener tanks and support structures.
Problems we help you solve
When legacy infrastructure limits progress
Many sites operate with ageing structures, incomplete records and undocumented changes. We assess real-world conditions and develop practical, constructible designs that bring your asset base up to modern standards.
When new projects rely on unclear or conflicting information
Capital works often require integrating new structures with existing plant. We clarify constraints, resolve clashes and deliver coordinated designs that help avoid costly surprises during construction.
When project staging needs to minimise operational downtime
Shutdown windows are limited and high-pressure. We create staged, practical solutions that align with shutdown schedules, reduce risk and support safe construction sequencing.
When high-risk lifts or deconstruction require engineered oversight
Complex lifts, tower removals or heavy industrial deconstruction demand rigorous planning. We provide engineered lift studies, temporary works designs, construction methodology, sequencing, and clear documentation to support safe execution.
When multiple disciplines need aligned, consistent engineering inputs
Capital works depend on coordination across civil, structural and mechanical interfaces. Our engineers collaborate across disciplines to produce integrated design packages that keep your project moving.

Customer success stories
Engineering verification and functional safety at a renowned performance venue
Advitech was engaged by a staging equipment supplier to provide independent third party engineering design verification for their specialised hoisting and lifting equipment, as part of a major upgrade at a prominent Sydney opera and theatre venue.
Increased recovery of saleable coal at a coal preparation plant
Advitech helped a coal-handling and preparation plant to design and construct modifications to their flotation and dewatering circuits. The cost of the project was repaid within six months thanks to the resulting increase in saleable product and reduction in tailings disposal costs.
Machinery Safety Audit and Assessment for Leading Multinational Retailer
Advitech helped a large retailer to assess its machine safety to protect its people, meet its legal obligations, and foster a culture of safety that extends across every site.
Structural asset protection of ageing infrastructure
Advitech inspected and evaluated ageing infrastructure at a major coal-handling facility to determine design life, recommend steelwork rectification priorities and develop a regime for ongoing inspections and monitoring to protect operational integrity into the future.
Design of a new turntable roller support
Advitech assisted a locomotive manufacturer to design a new roller support for a rail turntable.
Controlling Workplace Noise at a Coal Preparation Plant
Advitech’s acoustics specialists and structural engineers teamed up to solve a noise issue at our client’s Coal Preparation Plant.
Design and extension of stockpile pad
We assisted with the development of a concept and detailed design for an extension of an existing Production Stockpile Pad and drainage.
