Qualified mechanical engineering consultants
Mechanical engineering sits at the core of most industrial facilities, from bulk materials handling systems and processing plants through to pumping systems, pressure piping and supporting infrastructure. Delivering reliable mechanical systems requires practical engineering that considers constructability, maintainability, operational performance and the realities of working within demanding industrial environments.
Fraser-Lever provides multidisciplinary mechanical engineering services across mining, infrastructure and industrial projects, supporting clients from feasibility studies and concept development through to detailed design, procurement support, construction, commissioning and operational improvements. Our engineers develop practical, fit-for-purpose solutions that balance technical performance with long-term operational value.

Materials handling & industrial infrastructure
Fraser-Lever has extensive experience designing mechanical systems for heavy industrial and mining environments where reliability and throughput are critical. Our experience includes:
- Belt conveyor systems
- Transfer chutes
- Feeders
- Crushers
- Stackers and reclaimers
- Ship loading infrastructure
- Bulk storage bins and hoppers
- Ore handling systems
- Coal handling systems
- Stockyard infrastructure
- Heavy industrial workshops
- Plant maintenance facilities
Our engineers understand the complex interactions between mechanical equipment, structural systems, civil infrastructure and electrical controls, allowing multidisciplinary solutions to be coordinated efficiently throughout project delivery.
Engineering analysis & specialist design
Complex mechanical systems often require detailed engineering analysis to verify performance, optimise designs and reduce project risk. Fraser-Lever provides specialist engineering analysis including:
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
- Discrete Element Modelling (DEM)
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
- Equipment performance assessments
- Mechanical design verification
- Failure investigations
- Fatigue and life-extension assessments
- Structural interaction reviews
- Mechanical integrity assessments
These engineering tools support informed design decisions, improve equipment reliability and reduce lifecycle costs.
Operational upgrades & asset performance
Many of Fraser-Lever’s projects involve improving existing operational assets rather than developing new facilities. Our mechanical engineers regularly support:
- Brownfield plant upgrades
- Equipment refurbishment
- Capacity expansion projects
- Reliability improvement programs
- Shutdown engineering
- Plant debottlenecking
- Asset life-extension programs
- Mechanical inspections and condition assessments
- Engineering support for sustaining capital projects
By understanding operational constraints and maintenance requirements, we develop practical engineering solutions that can be safely implemented with minimal disruption to production.
