Can you handle the entire process from initial design to certified drawings?

Yes. We provide a complete, end-to-end engineering and drafting service. We can take your initial concepts or project requirements, develop the 3D digital design, run the necessary structural engineering analysis, and deliver fully detailed, workshop-ready fabrication drawings.

Do you perform engineering hand calculations and structural analysis?

Absolutely. We don't just draft; we validate. Every design is backed up by rigorous engineering hand calculations, load distributions, and finite element analysis (FEA) where required. This ensures your components, transport equipment, or steel frames are structurally optimized and safe for real-world operations.

Do you provide footing and concrete beam analysis?

Yes, our structural capabilities extend to foundation design. We perform comprehensive concrete beam analysis, slab reviews, and footing designs to ensure your structural supports are perfectly calculated for the soil conditions and intended loads, completely in line with Australian Standards.

Can your designs be formally certified for compliance (RPEQ / RPEV)?

Yes. We provide full engineering sign-offs for regulated states. We coordinate directly with Registered Professional Engineers of Queensland ( RPEQ ) and Registered Professional Engineers of Victoria ( RPEV ) to formally review, verify, and certify our designs so your projects easily pass regulatory approval.

What industries and project types do you specialize in?

We provide engineering services to clients across the transport, manufacturing, construction, and industrial sectors. Our projects range from heavy vehicle and trailer design to structural steel, reinforced concrete, fabrication support, and custom mechanical equipment.

About Us

Certified Mechanical & Structural Engineering Consultants

Geometric Design Engineering (GDE) is a premier Melbourne-based engineering consultancy dedicated to delivering robust mechanical and structural solutions. We specialise in transforming complex industrial challenges into certified, code-compliant, workshop-ready realities. Grounded in rigorous engineering analysis, advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and precise hand calculations, we ensure every project meets strict Australian Standards. We partner closely with fabricators, manufacturers, commercial developers, and heavy industries including specialised transport and weighbridge systems. Through these partnerships, we provide the precise technical foundation required for absolute structural integrity and manufacturing efficiency.

Core Engineering and Design

Established with a core focus on high precision mechanical engineering, complex 3D modelling, and reverse engineering to support local manufacturing and fabrication sectors.

Advanced Structural Analysis

Expanded capabilities to deliver comprehensive structural steel and reinforced concrete designs while introducing full compliance verification for AS 4100, AS 3600, and AS/NZS 1170.

Advanced Simulation and FEA

Integrated advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and fatigue testing workflows into our core services to provide heavy duty transport and industrial facility clients with certified engineering reports.

Your Partner in Industrial Advancement

We deliver advanced mechanical and structural solutions engineered to withstand the most demanding operational environments. From heavy vehicle components to complex industrial machinery, our designs undergo rigorous virtual stress testing and compliance verification. We ensure every asset is optimized for maximum structural integrity, durability, and seamless manufacturing efficiency.

Our engineering practice is built on first principles analysis to evaluate stress, shear forces, bending moments, and deflections under maximum loading conditions. We integrate critical data from the site geotechnical soil report to precisely calculate foundation requirements, concrete reinforcement configurations, and structural footing capacities. By balancing axial, lateral, and torsional loads, we mathematically verify the structural integrity of every mechanical and civil component. This rigorous analytical approach guarantees that all steelwork, connections, and concrete elements comply fully with Australian Standards prior to workshop execution.
