Structural and Civil Engineering

Structural and civil engineering that enables safe, reliable and compliant operations.

Practical design, verification and asset condition assessment for civil infrastructure and complex industrial environments across NSW and Australia.

Structural challenges in mining, industrial and civil infrastructure are rarely straightforward. They come with high-risk operating environments, demanding site conditions and significant compliance obligations. Advitech’s structural and civil engineering team brings the technical depth and practical experience to cut through that complexity, delivering work that is fit for purpose, audit-ready and built on more than 37 years of application in the field.

Based in Newcastle and delivering projects nationally, our CPEng-accredited engineers provide:

  • Structural design: steel, reinforced concrete, stainless steel, hybrid and composite structural systems, including repairs, remediation and compliance gap analysis.
  • Civil design: foundation piles, screw piles, pads, strip footings, accessways, slab on ground, pavements and stormwater.
  • Bridge and access design: bridge design to AS 5100, heavy vehicle access and drainage.
  • Design drafting: 3D models, drawings and construction documentation.
  • Independent design verification: peer review, certification and third party verification.
  • Power winding systems: independent verification of the structural system, and design of headframe structures, raker legs and foundation systems.
  • Structural integrity inspections: asset assessments, NDT, condition reporting with risk rating, dilapidation surveys and end of life assessment.
  • Construction support: construction sequencing, methodologies, temporary works, installation inspections and on-site support.

Whether you need a design partner from concept through to construction, or an independent eye on an existing asset, our structural engineers provide the clarity your project demands, backed by nationally recognised accreditation and certifications. View our accreditation and certificates page.

Case Studies

Advitech structural integrity inspection program at a major NSW coal export terminal

Featured Case Study

From risk to resilience: structural integrity inspections at a NSW coal export terminal

A major NSW coal export terminal needed to manage ageing steel and concrete infrastructure operating well beyond its original design life. Advitech has worked alongside the terminal for more than a decade, building deep knowledge of site assets and delivering a structured inspection and remediation program that keeps critical materials-handling infrastructure safe, compliant, and producing.

Outcome
Structural asset life extended through targeted remediation and an ongoing inspection regime, protecting production continuity at one of NSW’s major export facilities.

Case Study

Portal frame tyre changing facility designed by Advitech for a Hunter Valley coal mine

Structural & Civil Engineering

Engineering a tyre changing facility for a Hunter Valley coal mine

A Hunter Valley mine needed a sheltered facility capable of safely servicing vehicles weighing up to 300 tonnes. Advitech designed a portal frame structure with 13.5 m of clear height, reinforced concrete flooring sized for dynamic load, and integrated stormwater management, then supported the client through to contractor evaluation.

Case Study

Advitech CASA-approved drone inspection of elevated structural assets at a bulk handling facility

Structural & Civil Engineering

Send in the drones: inspecting assets 50 metres above the ground

When a bulk handling facility needed a structural inspection of assets well above ground level, Advitech’s CASA-approved drone pilot delivered a full inspection report safely and quickly, without the cost and risk of working at height.

Case Study

Independent mine winder verification at Appin Colliery for Redpath Australia

Mine Winder Verification

Independent mine winder verification for dual shaft sinking at Appin Colliery

Before shaft sinking could begin at Appin Colliery, two powered winding systems had to be independently verified, registered and proven compliant with NSW regulations and the Technical Reference Guide. Advitech delivered multi-discipline verification across mechanical, structural, functional safety and electrical domains for both VS7 and VS8.
