More Specialist Services

CDMS are able to provide design and design verification services beyond the scope of conventional engineering techniques. With over 24 years experience in mechanical and structural design design, and engineers trained in the use of FEA, we ensure that your design will be completed successfully.

Shown below is a partial listing of some work we have completed successfully.




CDMS performed verification for the complex shaped pressure vessels on a new calciner for Alcan Grove. The designers used FEA for the complete pressure vessel system which was verified by CDMS using FEA.




CDMS performed FEA verification of the wagon shown below.




Other examples of CDMS work include:

  • The transport of Monopods each 137 Tonne x 56m long for Wapet Roller / Skate projects required checks on transport supports.
