Utility Verification for Solar imbedded Energy Systems (IES)

At BIVANM, we provide Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) Installation compliance for Imbedded Energy Systems (IES) for Ergon Energy and Energex. This is a critical requirement of solar Imbedded Energy Systems (IES) grid connections for any installations larger than 30kW. Our capabilities also extend to being able to design and document the full electrical system for solar farms of practically any size.

Independent Design Verifier

At BIVANM, we provide independent advice and certification on third party designs, ensuring they meet the technical requirements of Australian and other relevant standards. Our team develop and implements a comprehensive verification system with the aim to give our clients the confidence that the technical requirements of the project are met.

Design Reviews & Commenting

Our team are frequently asked to act on behalf of a client to review an independent design. This does not mean we take on responsibility and ownership of the designs. In these instances, the client is typically a bank, private investor, or another financial entity. It is our job to review the designs on their behalf, looking for any obvious design deficiencies, questionable design practices, and more.

Safety in Design Meeting Facilitation

Safety in design (SID) processes integrate hazard identification and risk assessment methods into the design of all aspects of a project to eliminate or minimise the risk of injury throughout the project or structure’s life. Safety In Design Meeting Facilitation is where we have the client, contractors and builders meet and we go through the designs and all the different circuits in the design to identify any problems.

HAZOPs

A Hazard Analysis Safety Operation (HAZOP) is a systematic and highly structured study with a critical approach to examine the process and engineering intentions of the process design. It is recognised as a formal safety assessment tool to control the process risks to an acceptable level. A HAZOP analysis is mainly carried out during the basic project phase to have enough time to implement the recommendations during the project.

Construction Support

We provide a variety of construction support services to help identify potential problems, provide effective solutions, evaluate technical and budgetary alternatives, anticipate or avoid future disputes, which generally results in a better design and budget. Our team are able to notice things that aren’t to the design and not up to standards to form a defect list of items to fix.

Owner’s Engineering

An owner's engineer is an engineer who represents the owner of a project during design, development, and construction to confirm that the work is done well and within legal standards. We begin work on the project as early as possible, usually during the design and development phase. In a meeting with the owners, we will discuss the scope and goals of the project and define the needs that will be met.

Detailed Design of Electrical, Instrumentation & Control Systems

Our engineers have the required expertise to deliver detailed design of electrical, instrumentation, and control systems for either a new process or to integrate into an existing one. We complete this service for projects across a wide range of industries, each of which generally have its own niche requirements. Basically, the client will tell us what they need the system to do, then we create the electrical designs, power distribution and control systems.

Site Auditing, Dilapidation & Remediation Reporting

At BIVANM, we are experienced within the construction industry and have the skillset and extensive knowledge to perform thorough on-site inspections, compliance auditing and reporting. Our engineers are highly experienced and proficient in identifying and assessing issues, causes and remedial action, and itemising defects with precision and evidence.

Public Lighting Designs

Lighting is an important aspect on all projects when planning infrastructure that requires consideration of many factors from the functional to the client’s aesthetic requirements. Our team has extensive experience in the provision of specialist lighting design solutions, including V Category and P Category street lighting designs for roadways, parks, and other public areas.

Process Review

The purpose of a process review is to remove project defects as early as possible in the development process. By removing defects at their origin, process reviews prevent defects from propagating through multiple phases and work products and reduce the overall amount of rework necessary on projects. Our team will go through the process and instrumentation diagrams and look for faults, ask questions and identify problems.

Renewables, Hydrogen Generation & Utility Scale Battery Integration

At BIVANM, we provided detailed solar farm designs for utility scale solar farms that are 100MW+ of electrical troubleshooting systems. Hydrogen generation electrolysers take renewable power and put it into hydrogen electrolyser cells and turn it into hydrogen gas. Our team can help with feasibility and high-level assessments, as well as utility scale battery integrations.

Power System Studies

A power systems study is made up of various engineering analysis investigations. Our team of engineers can provide an analysis for existing and future power systems, power flows, fault level analysis, Arc flash studies, and protection coordination. An arc flash study consists of all the major power systems studies that are required for any power systems facility. It is the evaluation of a workplace facility by an electrical safety expert to determine hazards and risks in relation to electrical systems. The goal of each study is to have a safe, efficient and reliable power system for your facility under both normal and abnormal conditions.
