HEAVY EQUIPMENT + STABILITY TESTING
TITON 600 DRILL RIG CONVERSION
A collaboration project with Maintech Engineering, Burnett Consulting provided major structures and hydraulic design services for conversion of a vertical drilling machine to a horizontal de-watering drill. Drill rod capacity increase, machine usage optimisation, control system architecture and hydraulic system error analysis were all inclusive to the services provided. With our valuable experience in the mining sector, all structural design safety factors were applied above and beyond available Australian Standards to account for machine abuse and actual impact loads experienced by the machine. Detailed design enabled streamlined production of parts books, operation and maintenance documentation adding value for the client to support the machine during its service life.

HYDRAULIC IMPACT HAMMER | VECPD22
VEC Civil Engineering engaged Burnett Consulting to support a product development project in assessing, improving and commissioning a impact pile hammer to an existing concept used within their business unit. First principals safety assessments were conducted and ground up design of the implement, in line with the business requirements were completed. The solution for the client provided full piece part product structure, operation and maintenance manuals, plant attachment stability assessments and fabrication support while in construction. Shock loading cases required specific dampening design to achieve required service life of the implement and significantly improved operation and audible noise levels.

STABILITY TESTING
VOLVO CAPACITY INCREASE
Customised modifications for capacity increase while providing stability assessments to the Australia Standards. Stability testing varies between global regions and through experience in heavy equipment, we can verify OEM stability limits and interpret results for that specific machine. By engaging Burnett Consulting at the early stages of buying equipment and machines, decreases for risk of purchasing the incorrect product required for the intended task.
