Compliance
Our Approach
Achieving compliance with current regulatory and legal requirements is not only paramount to achieving continued operations but also ensures the safety and reliability of infrastructure. D+A has extensive experience in assisting clients to achieve full compliance with regulators’ requirements and have assisted clients with auditing and inspection services coupled with the detailed design of modifications, upgrades and strengthening works. D+A Engineers maintain contact with policy makers and government agency representatives allowing us to gain an in depth understanding of current requirements and objectives.
Through our valued technical approach to resolving complex engineering problems, we have been successful in proving compliance on existing plant, or minimised remedial works to reduce cost and risk on site. We utilise rigorous and efficient structural analyses techniques to assist clients in finding resolutions to prohibition and improvement notices thereby reducing downtime.
In the public infrastructure sector, we have assisted a wide variety of clients ranging from Design and Construct Contractors to large infrastructure alliances to achieve full compliance with contractual and regulatory requirements through the provision of verification and proof engineering services. Our collaborative approach allows for the quick and efficient resolution of noncompliance items allowing construction to progress.
