SOTO Consulting Engineers is enhancing awareness of its high-level engineering design solutions for heavy industrial and resource sectors through a newly launched, revamped website.
The new website (www.sotogroup.com.au) highlights the value propositions it delivers to clients in the nine key sectors on which SOTO focuses.
Managing Director of Soto Consulting Group, Mr Frank Soto, is excited to announce the launch of the revamped website and believes by categorising these key sectors it allows streamlined interaction with clients and provides a deeper window into Soto’s areas of specialisation.
“We wanted this website to showcase our multi-disciplinary engineering services which offer high value within a responsive one-stop company,” said Mr Soto.
“We look forward to assisting companies by providing a wide range of tailored and detailed engineering services that suit the requirements of future projects.” he said.
The nine key sectors of SOTO are: Mining Equipment, Technology & Services (METS), Forensic Engineering, Advanced Analysis, Structural & Statutory Audits, Bulk Materials Handling, Civil & Structural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Temporary Works for Construction Engineering, plus Research and Development.
“The site reflects our wide-reaching value propositions for industry: our engineers are on the leading edge of technology and innovation for all industries – it’s vital to work as closely as possible with clients to maximise their outcomes.
“Mining companies, for instance, are finding industry conditions quite challenging so we are often engaged to find ways to improve productivity levels through technology, innovation and specialist services to get them back to where they need to be to retain market share.
“METS is our way to partner with mining’s supply chain to engineer for them new technologies, prototypes, products or solutions for a higher competitive edge in their specific areas of this huge and important sector.
“We are one of the few engineering companies that conduct our own R&D and product development, including prototypes because if we don’t think outside the square for Australian industry, extremely good ideas may not come to fruition.”
Soto Group’s website cites media examples and case studies highlighting the company’s:
Another of its significant capabilities is Forensic Engineering, which can be defined as failure analysis (often for litigation support). The goal is to positively identify the sequence of events leading to ultimate failure or injury to personnel or the public. SOTO uses an integrated approach to assist companies by investigating why materials, equipment or structures have failed.
The Advanced Analysis group has highly specialised engineering capabilities and offers this to clients as a direct service and also as internal validation of other engineering functions within the SOTO Group.
SOTO Compliance sector assists companies to comply with relevant industry and/or Australian Health and Safety Standards, offering certification where necessary.
Structural & Statutory Audits are essential for every plant/mine; audits can result in improved safety, protection of assets through identification of problem areas, and compliance to Australian Safety and Environmental Regulations.
With SOTO’s experience and power at an auditory level, the company comes in and deeply analyses new and existing projects at a component level to maximise output and save Capital Expenditure (CAPEX). Soto also goes a step ahead by providing companies with solutions to potential procedures (to bring the problem areas up to standard).
The Bulk Materials Handling Solutions department has an expert and highly skilled multidisciplinary team with experience in the analysis and design of bins, feeders, transfer chutes and conveyors. SOTO has now extended its service to the manufacture and installation of chutes and bins in order to ensure that the customer gains the maximum value from the experience and knowledge of the Soto Team.
The Civil and Structural Engineering Group comprises specialist designers in steel, concrete and masonry construction with experience in commercial, mining and heavy industrial design. Soto offers an integrated multi-disciplinary engineering and drafting team with state of the art computer aided design programs.
Soto’s Mechanical Engineers have extensive experience in the design and implementation of mine equipment and heavy industrial plant. This includes the design of process lines, mining equipment, machinery, rolling mills and piping systems.
SOTO offers comprehensive temporary works and construction engineering services for major construction projects in the heavy civil, building and mining industries. We deliver safe, cost-effective and practical solutions. Temporary works refers to structural elements that are required for the execution, completion and maintenance of permanent works. Temporary works and construction engineering are critical to the success and safe delivery of any major construction project.
The Research and Development team at Soto is committed to helping businesses find innovative solutions through research and development; working with companies from inception through to design, prototyping and testing.
The website also features products from SOTO in mining technology, including the SWIFTA and the Tow Hitch.
