Porters Engineers provide structural and civil design solutions that consider and incorporate parameters that are specific to your project. This could include factors such as:
We would be pleased to become actively involved in discussing and consulting with all parties in order to help realise our client's project requirements. Our aim is to foster long term relationships and be an engineering service provider of choice.
Porters Engineers provide consulting services to the residential market, from working through preliminary civil engineering issues to meet Council approvals to full structural design and documentation including construction phase inspections and final certification.
Innovative structural design reduces construction costs while appropriate choice of structural systems can reduce construction time.
Consideration of building flexibility can add value to a buildings performance, therefore appropriate selection of design loadings, frame spacing's and redundancy of members is critical in building design.
At Porters Engineers we are mindful of designing and creating spaces that fully maximise the use of space within a building footprint.
Based in Mackay we are ideally located to service mining infrastructure projects in the Bowen Basin. We are able to provide structural input into:
We understand that there is a practical implementation of our designs to be considered. We have a pragmatic approach towards delivering design outcomes for projects that are safe and easily constructed. Some of the elements Porters Engineers can provide inspection comments and reports for include:
We aim to respond in a timely manner to site requests knowing the pressures and tight schedules applied during this phase.
Where investigations are required into existing building movement, unstable structures, subsidence, excessive deflection or building cracking we can provide investigation and reporting to assess the damage and recommend rectification works.
Cyclone Yasi showed what extreme climatic conditions we are exposed to in Tropical North Queensland. At Porters Engineers we certify our designs to meet the relevant Authority and Code requirements to fulfil the design brief.

At Porters Engineers we pride ourselves on providing quality outcomes for our clients, ensuring a stable foundation from which to develop and grow. We work collaboratively with Geotechnical Consultants to provide structural support systems that suit site specific conditions.
Our holistic design approach endeavours to provide solutions that consider all aspects of our client's project requirements. We are always on the lookout for new and innovative ways of meeting our client's expectations.
The building structure can play a fundamental role in the design of sustainable buildings. As well as providing structural support to the building, the structural system can assist the thermal stability of the building environment. Use of recyclable materials also assists in reducing the carbon footprint.
Our designs are tailored to suit the needs of the project, we utilise high-end engineering analysis software such as Spacegass as well as TEDDS software where professional formatted calculations are required.
However, before moving into a detailed design phase we are sure to complete a 'value engineering analysis' to ensure the planned design system and approach fits with the clients brief and approval.
