LIBERTY INDUSTRIAL
MINING GLOBAL
“ We have the right environmental and accredited people on board and we ’ re starting to see some great results from the work we ’ re generating ,” said Dick . “ Australia is the mecca of the mining industry and we ’ re getting a lot of closure projects for demolition and remediation work here .”
“ It ’ s something we wanted to offer our clients ,” said Dick . “ We want to be a one-stop-shop .”
Competitive advantage Because Liberty handles some of the largest and most challenging projects Australia has to offer , client expectations and concerns are at an all-time high . The Australian firm has built a solid reputation for exceeding expectations by delivering safe , effective results on time and on budget .
The company does this through state-of-the-art 3D structural modeling and analysis technology under its partnership with Applied Science International ( ASI ).
“ The software allows us to put together a visual of the structure and showcase our capabilities to the client ,” said Dick . “ Other competitors don ’ t have that ability . It ’ s a terrific tool and helps set us apart from our competitors .”
ASI ’ s Applied Element Method ( AEM ), coupled with Extreme Loading for Structures ( ELS ), is the world ’ s first tool to accurately analyze and simulate ‘ real-time ’ structural collapse from the point of loading through cracking , element separation , and total collapse .
The unique simulation technology allows Liberty to model a structure and then run and test several different plans and ‘ what-if ’ scenarios . The software gives them the ability to visually demonstrate what will happen in any given scenario to the client .
“ These structures are massive and often weigh around 20,000 tons and stand at 100 meters tall . It ’ s not easy to just make them collapse and have them to go where you want ,” explained Dick . “ So the tool allows us to show the client how we ’ ll handle the project .”
“ We ’ re able to undertake workshops with clients and show them what we ’ ve done in the past ,” Dick added .
