Engineering consulting

Engineering support that shows up on your site

A qualified mechanical and electrical engineer who diagnoses the real problem, finds the root cause, specifies the correct fix and sources it — on the ground, on your plant, not from an office across the world.

Kia-Kaha Mining's engineer inspecting a stationary conveyor and screen on a mine plant, with an inspection lamp and tools

The difference

Most conveyor support is mechanical only. Ours is dual-discipline — mechanical and electrical — so belt, drive, structural and control faults are diagnosed by one engineer who sees the whole system. Real, local, fast.

The same engineer is the inventor of the patent-pending GOGGA™ FlexPull belt-pulling system — real engineering capability, not just claims.

Scope

What the consulting covers

ServiceWhat it covers
On-site consulting & problem diagnosisAttend site, observe the operation, gather data, and identify the actual problem — not just the symptom.
Failure investigation & root-causeDetermine why a belt, pulley, idler, bearing, motor or gearbox failed, and what to change so it stops recurring.
Mechanical + electrical fault-findingDual-discipline diagnosis across mechanical and electrical systems — drives, motors, controls, transmission and structure together.
Conveyor & plant condition assessmentPractical audit of belt condition, tracking, carry-back, load zones, transfer points, drives, wear and recurring maintenance issues.
Component selection & equivalent specificationSpecify the correct belt, roller, pulley, motor, bearing or wear part for the material and conditions; identify sound equivalents.
Sourcing the solution & quotationSource the recommended parts locally or internationally and quote the supply — one route from problem to fix.

Deliverables

What you get

  • 01A site visit and a written assessment / findings report
  • 02A root-cause summary for failures investigated
  • 03Recommended corrective actions, prioritised by impact and urgency
  • 04Specified parts and components, with the reasoning behind each choice
  • 05Sourcing options and a quotation for the fix
  • 06Practical, maintenance-friendly recommendations the team can actually implement

We do not offer general-arrangement drawings, bill-of-material packages, or FEA / DEM / simulation reports — this is hands-on consulting, diagnosis, assessment, selection and sourcing.

Process

How it works

  1. 01

    Tell us the problem

    A breakdown, a recurring failure, or a planned improvement. Send photos, a nameplate, machine details or a short description.

  2. 02

    Site assessment

    The engineer attends and observes the operation and gathers data — or reviews remotely where a visit is not needed.

  3. 03

    Findings & recommendation

    A written report with the root cause and the practical fix, prioritised by impact.

  4. 04

    Solution & quote

    We specify and source the parts and quote the supply — one route from problem to fix.

Questions

About the consulting

Yes. A qualified mechanical and electrical engineer attends site, observes the operation, gathers data and produces a written assessment with findings and recommended actions. Where a visit is not needed, the review can be done remotely from photos, data and machine details.

Standards

Assessment and selection reference CEMA, ISO, DIN and SANS where they inform the decision — belt selection, idler duty classes, FRAS requirements, wear standards. These are standards we work to, not standards we design or simulate to.
