As the global resource sector continues to transform, ensuring the long-term reliability of assets extends beyond technical safety to encompass environmental responsibility and social accountability.

Furthermore, stringent regulatory framework oversees the resource sector, serving a vital function in:

• Mitigating safety risks for individuals and community well-being
• Preventing accidents and operational disruptions
• Protecting the environment from potential damages

At Wave International, we are committed towards creating a more resourceful world. We achieve safety and sustainability in our engineering solutions through rigorous technical and structural integrity checks by fully adhering to regulatory standards. Our strong safety culture and commitment to ZERO harm is evidenced by a long track record of exemplary safety performance.

Our approach integrates sustainable practices with a risk-based approach across all stages of structural projects for a wide variety of fixed infrastructure. This enables our clients to make informed decisions on the extent of remedial works, modifications required for plant upgrades and extent of maintenance requirements.

The Wave Expertise

Our team has become a trusted name in the industry for our comprehensive understanding of the project lifecycle. Here’s what sets us apart:

1. Proven expertise and experience working on numerous projects with local and international clients.
2. A practical approach to resource usage, based on criticality and complexity of deliverables.
3. A rigorous process for providing safe and cost-effective structural solutions.
4. Over 25 years of experience in designing solutions that can be implemented effectively in an operating environment and minimising downtime.

Why Our Clients Love Us

Over the past two decades, we’ve developed a close relationship with our clients. The reason they love us stems from several key aspects of how we do business and how we treat every project we undertake.

1. Seamless Integration

Every client has different requirements and systems in place — we seamlessly integrate with our clients’ established processes. This smooth transition ensures that projects begin from a point of mutual understanding for each client’s unique operational framework.

We offer comprehensive management and transparency of project risk throughout every phase. This allows for informed decision-making and minimises unforeseen complications.

Our approach involves thorough risk oversight and clear communication at each stage of the project. This strategy enables our stakeholders to make well-informed choices and reduces the likelihood of unexpected issues.

2. Project Lifecycle Support

Our service offering spans the entire project lifecycle. This capability means we’re not just a service provider; we’re a long-term partner in development, engineering and project management. We have experience in establishing programs for new operations, providing ongoing support to operating assets, and decommissioning / care and maintenance operations.

3. Innovation and Safety

Our commitment to innovation is only matched by our commitment to safety. Our engineering teams are experienced in the operational environment, and consider constructability in the operating environment in our safety in design processes.

Our Structural Integrity Process

 

We implement a versatile approach to structural integrity inspections, allowing for agility and customisation. We dynamically move between the different phases as needed to ensure maximum client satisfaction and better outcomes. However, for sake for simplicity, we can distil the approach into four phases.

1. Preparation
   1. Gather historical data on maintenance and plant conditions.
   2. Review client procedures and technical specification.
   3. Assess existing maintenance strategies.
2. Inspection
   1. Map risks to specific plant areas.
   2. Quantify risks based on the client’s own risk standards.
3. Reporting
   1. Generate detailed reports including risk-rating reporting and remedial works for each identified defect.
   2. Devise strategic options for risk management.
   3. Align strategies with asset lifespan and desired condition.
   4. Offer strategic options backed by cost estimates.
   5. Develop both immediate and long-term tactical plans.
4. Continuous Support
   1. Provide ongoing site support and maintenance advice.
   2. Engage in partnerships with clients for long-term asset management.

Looking Ahead

As projects and infrastructure continue to grow in complexity, the importance of comprehensive strategies and incorporating latest tech in each phase will only become more paramount. Such advancements will set a new benchmark for sustainability in resource development.

Recent developments have witnessed AI-driven tools identify, risk rate the defects and advise suitable remedial actions. The use of robotics for inspecting areas considered hazardous for human intervention is gaining momentum. This technological leap will enhance efficiency, speed up data processing, reduce costs, and most importantly, improve safety measures.

At Wave we value innovation, and we are continually on the lookout for smarter, more efficient methods and tools to get the work done. If you would like to learn more about how we can help elevate your projects, then reach out to us today.
