With KUSCH’s smart solutions, we ensure that your equipment remains operational.
Our Mechanical Engineers are experienced in the design of plant and equipment across the following heavy industries: Power Generation, Mining, Industrial Gases and Lifting Tackle.
Expertise
Pipe Risers, Anchors, Expansion
KUSCH has experience designing pipes and their supports under the ASME B31 & AS4041 pipe standards to ensure they meet the design requirements
Fatigue Analysis
KUSCH has completed fatigue design for services on lifting equipment and building services subjected to cyclic thermal loading particularly in large infrastructure projects.
Design for Vibration
Designing for vibration in building services is crucial to maintain structural integrity, operational efficiency, and occupant comfort. <span style="background-color: var(--bs-body-bg);color: var(--bs-body-color);font-family: var(--bs-body-font-family);font-size: var(--bs-body-font-size);font-weight: var(--bs-body-font-weight);text-align: var(--bs-body-text-align)">KUSCH is experienced in vibration isolating systems and analysing equipment for vibration.</span>
Design of lifting equipment
Transportation & lifting generates complex loads that must be considered in the structural design. KUSCH has experience designing custom lifting equipment, or reviewing equipment for structural integrity prior to lifting
Amusement Ride design
Whether it’s conceptualising groundbreaking attractions or refining existing designs, KUSCH brings expertise in designing structural and mechanical components for amusement rides, ready to assist with your next project.
Fire Design
KUSCH can support your project by providing expertise in fire design for structural elements and services, aligning with passive fire protection requirements.
Chevron Tower
KUSCH were engaged to design a 100m pipe riser from the L5 plantroom to the L29 plantroom supplying chilled water at Chevron tower. The client proposed a design that included flexible bellows, however given the unique design without any pipe branches between the plantrooms, KUSCH were able to anchor the riser centrally from the core wall, and all of the movement was accommodated at the top and bottom of the riser using spring hangers and flexible Victaulic couplings.
Victoria’s Largest Data Centre
This datacentre located in Melbourne is the largest data centre in Victoria (by MW capacity.) KUSCH worked alongside the mechanical contractor to ensure that the installed mechanical services could withstand the seismic loading requirements of AS1170.4.
Vertigo Ride
First free-fall ride of its type in the Southern Hemisphere. Users comment that this ride is notably more terrifying than bungee jumping or skydiving.
Furnace Lifting Device
A safer solution was required at a local forge to remove molten 16-tonne steel bars from the furnace and lower them into the quenching bath. KUSCH enabled this by completing the structural design and fatigue analysis for a fit-for-purpose forklift jig, considering fatigue effects and service loading.
