Mechanical engineering design firm located in Northeast Arkansas that has nationwide experience in industries ranging from Underground Tunneling to Food & Beverage Industry. Professionally licensed and insured with 10 years experience in heavy civil and mechanical design. Extensive knowledge and expertise in mechanical tunnel excavation via hard rock, earth pressure balance (EPBM), slurry, and micro-tunnel boring machine. Above average knowledge and experience with road header, tunnel excavator, NATM tunneling method, raise boring, blind boring, various ground support systems, conveyors, and rail rolling stock. Highest level of experience with design, procurement, and installation of tunnel ventilation systems, design of mobile hydraulics, design and requirements for fall protection systems, personnel hoisting, and access gantries. In addition to tunneling, general construction means and methods. Estimate, scheduling, crew planning, cost vs budget Utilizes Solidworks 3D modeling and drafting software to create, check, and test virtual prototype on the computer through general 3D modeling interference checks and finite element analysis. This reduces or nearly eliminates the need for expensive and repetitive construction and testing of prototypes. Fit-up issues on the shop floor are greatly reduced or non-existent which reduces overall fabrication costs. In addition to stress and deformation analysis, FEA can estimate or predict fatigue limits, locations of most probable fatigue issues, stress concentrations, static, dynamic, thermal, and fluid analysis.
