MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

JAD is completely able to assist with any mechanical engineering challenge, whether it be storage and pressure vessels, or FEA’s of specialised equipment. We will ensure the client’s project does not only work but that it works most efficiently.

CIVIL & STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

JAD offers a full civil and structural design suite for greenfield projects or additions to existing structures. Our scope ranges from pump stations and sump pits to warehouses and conveyor gantries. 3D scanning of existing structures allows us to compile comprehensive models and design reports to ensure the integrity of the design.

Our expertise includes but is not limited to the following:

New plant structures and modifications to existing plant structures, are well within our capabilities.
Design of new conveyor and crane gantries, as well as analysis of existing structures for additional walkways, maintenance platforms, and equipment.
Plant accesses platforms and staircase designs to ensure access to all plant equipment for maintenance and inspection activities.
Warehouse and factory design, including plant optimisation and debottlenecking studies, allowing maximum efficiency
Design of all the necessary slabs and plinths for all structural and mechanical members of a plant, complete with rebar detailing.
Office buildings with detailed 3D models for complete visualization of the office space.

BULK MATERIALS HANDLING

Through innovative technology, computer-aided designs, and process tools, JAD can produce competitive materials-handling facilities for any product. This competitive edge will allow the clients' facility to succeed in today’s market.

Our expertise includes but is not limited to the following:

Silo design ensuring no interruption in material flow due to arching and ratholing.
Dust control solutions where safety, health, and the environment must always come first.
Discrete element modelling (DEM) for bulk material flow through chutes and bins.
Complete conveyor design, reviewing both static and dynamic load conditions for optimum equipment selection and stringer design.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Electrical engineering plays a vital role in the success of production and manufacturing plants that rely on effective control systems to achieve set performance goals. Our extensive experience puts us at the forefront of electrical, control, and instrumentation design.

Our expertise includes but is not limited to the following:

Industrial instrumentation and control systems of various process variables (for example: flow, temperature, pressure, and speed) forms part of our design scope.
Plant MCC’s (Motor Control Centres), including all related switchgear, SCADA and reporting for maximum plant operation efficiency.
Reticulation networks for residential, commercial, and industrial areas
Substations, power distribution centres with protections, and transformers are all included in the designs
Overhead and underground transmission cables.
Feasibility studies with cost breakdowns based on equipment runtimes and efficiencies.
Earthing and lightning protection design ensuring the safety of all personnel and protection of electrical equipment.

PIPING SYSTEMS

Let JAD assist you with the complete design, whether it be ducting for air or pipes for liquids (water, slurries, etc.). Through complete 3D site modelling, JAD mitigates the risks of on-site clashes and modifications, which are both time and money-consuming.

Our expertise includes but is not limited to the following:

Best efficiency pump selection and pipe route design for any liquids, including slurries. Producing all required isometric drawings and bill of materials.
Bracketing and support design, whether it be piping or ducting. Allowing for any thermal expansions or vibrations which may be present.
Extensive knowledge in equipment selection for all process monitoring needs, ensuring the plant is operating at maximum efficiency.
Thermo-hydraulic simulation modelling of airflow through ducting.
