Engineering confidence from design to delivery for over thirty-five years
Our Engineering Philosophy
Built around certainty, from the outset
We proudly stand by a promise of exceptional quality
Established in 1988 by Graham Wilshaw, Wilshaw was founded on the understanding that fragmented project delivery creates unnecessary complexity across engineering design, manufacturing, installation and compliance.
As a single accountable partner, Wilshaw takes an integrated approach to every project, beginning with a clear understanding of the operational challenges, risks and performance requirements. Combining practical engineering expertise with rigorous quality standards, we deliver fit-for-purpose solutions designed to meet the demands of underground mining environments.
With more than 10,000 projects completed and infrastructure installed across mining operations in Australia and internationally, Wilshaw brings proven technical expertise and end-to-end capability to critical mining infrastructure.
the wilshaw approach
Engineering certainty at every stage
A structured approach connecting engineering, manufacturing, compliance and asset management from initial scoping through to long-term operation and performance.
01/09
Identify Critical Risks & Opportunities
We identify the operational, technical and regulatory factors influencing each engagement, from new developments and infrastructure shortcomings to compliance requirements and asset performance criteria.
02/09
Condition Assessment & Solution Scoping
We assess existing information and asset condition to determine the most appropriate path forward, whether through repair, upgrade, re-rating or new infrastructure.
03/09
Engineering Concept & Technical Development
Our engineers develop fit-for-purpose concepts integrating structural, mechanical, civil and pumping requirements with operational needs and applicable standards.
04/09
Detailed Design & Prototyping
Engineering concepts are translated into fabrication-ready packages, including 3D models, general arrangement drawings, fabrication drawings and bills of materials.
05/09
Manufacturing Control & Supply
Through established manufacturing partnerships, Wilshaw maintains oversight from approved design through to supply, helping ensure infrastructure is manufactured to the required quality and engineering standards.
06/09
Installation Support & Implementation
We provide installation methodologies, technical guidance and engineering support to help ensure infrastructure is implemented safely and in accordance with the approved design.
07/09
Inspection, Verification & Implementation
Wilshaw undertakes inspections and engineering verification to demonstrate compliance, certify critical assets and provide documented assurance of performance.
08/09
Asset Integrity & Lifecycle Management
Through periodic inspections and engineering assessments, we help clients manage asset condition, maintain compliance and support safe, reliable performance throughout the infrastructure lifecycle.
09/09
Continuous Improvement & Standardisation
Insights gained through operation, inspection and ongoing asset management are fed back into our engineering frameworks, product platforms and design standards to continually improve future outcomes.
