EXPERTISE
Pack Engineering is generally focussed on compliance with Australian Standards, however we also have experience with various codes of practice and other relevant international standards. Below is a selection of relevant standards and codes. We can complete detailed site investigations, write sampling and testing methodologies, review documentation, produce advanced calculations (including 3D modelling and Finite Element Analysis), and write detailed expert witness reports. We also have expertise in Quality Assurance documentation and standard engineering procedures.
