Structural engineering design & certification
Industrial structures must perform safely and reliably under demanding operational conditions while supporting production, maintenance and future expansion. Effective structural engineering requires more than structural analysis alone—it requires an understanding of how assets are constructed, operated, maintained and integrated with the broader facility.
Fraser-Lever provides structural engineering services across mining, infrastructure and industrial projects, supporting clients from feasibility studies and concept development through to detailed design, construction support, structural assessments and operational upgrades. Our engineers develop practical structural solutions that balance strength, constructability, maintainability and long-term operational performance.
Whether delivering new infrastructure or modifying existing operational assets, our focus is on engineering structures that perform reliably throughout their service life while supporting safe and efficient operations.

Industrial structures & heavy infrastructure
Fraser-Lever has extensive experience designing structures that support heavy industrial operations and complex operational environments. Our experience includes:
- Coal handling & preparation plants (CHPP)
- Materials handling structures
- Conveyor galleries
- Transfer towers
- Crusher structures
- Screening buildings
- Workshops and maintenance facilities
- Warehouses and industrial buildings
- Bulk storage infrastructure
- Bins, hoppers and silos
- Equipment support structures
- Access platforms and maintenance structures
These assets are designed to withstand demanding operational loads while providing safe access, efficient maintenance and long-term durability.
Structural assessment & asset reliability

- Structural condition assessments
- Inspection and defect reporting
- Corrosion and deterioration assessments
- Structural capacity reviews
- Fatigue assessments
- Structural remediation design
- Asset life-extension engineering
- Brownfield structural modifications
- Engineering support for sustaining capital programs
- Structural condition assessments
- Inspection and defect reporting
- Corrosion and deterioration assessments
- Structural capacity reviews
- Fatigue assessments
- Structural remediation design
- Asset life-extension engineering
- Brownfield structural modifications
- Engineering support for sustaining capital programs
By combining engineering analysis with practical operational knowledge, we develop solutions that minimise disruption while improving structural integrity and long-term asset performance.
Engineering analysis & design
Our structural engineers apply contemporary engineering analysis and recognised design standards to develop efficient, practical and buildable solutions. Typical engineering activities include:
- Structural analysis and modelling
- Steel connection design
- Foundation load coordination
- Equipment support structure design
- Dynamic load assessment
