Value Engineering (VE) is widely utilised to boost project cost efficiency, though its aims and methods often lack clarity. ASPEC, in its core business domains, is often engaged to develop VE strategies and facilitate processes to maximise project value. This paper explores VEs objectives, methodology, and common pitfalls.
Last year ASPEC founder Richard Morgan sat down with ABHR for an interview to celebrate the 20th anniversary of ASPEC Engineering.
The integration of 3D printing technology brings together field workers, designers, and engineers to bridge the gap between theory and practice. With this technology, engineers and designers now have the capability to create physical models using soft materials through 3D printing, allowing them to simulate designs before they are sent for final fabrication.
ASPEC Engineering celebrated its 20th Anniversary in August having commenced operation in 2003. To celebrate ASPEC has published a special edition capability statement.
ASPEC provided detailed engineering services for a major upgrade of Shiploader SL1 at Hay Point, including new boom, portal cabin & remote operation upgrades, portal refurbishment and throughput upgrades. ASPEC is proud of our involvement with BHP in delivering another excellent project supporting Australia’s critical export infrastructure.
This article presents some simple design tools which can be used by engineers to understand the operation of the materials handling equipment in a stockyard.
Examining sixty-eight bulk material handling machine failures over a forty-four year period this study investigates trends, the impact of standards and mitigating wind failures.
Over many mechanical inspections conducted by Aspec Engineering, it has been found that well over half, and likely as much as three quarters, of all rail clamps have not been functioning correctly. Sites have been inspected where the entire fleet of rail clamps is not working properly.
Aspec Engineering (ASPEC) was engaged to provide engineering support to a client that was upgrading part of their wharf-based rail infrastructure. By leveraging an automated CAD process, the project engineering was completed on time with no errors.
