Engineering Consultancy & Technical Advisory

At Q.A. Shirazi Surveyors (Pvt) Limited, our Engineering Consultancy division provides independent technical evaluations, structural and mechanical failure analysis, risk engineering, and industrial asset valuation.

Powered by a multidisciplinary team of licensed professional engineers and accredited surveyors, we deliver clear, data-driven engineering insights for insurers, financial institutions, industrial operators, and legal counsel.

Core Engineering Capabilities

  • Forensic Engineering & Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Investigating mechanical breakdowns, electrical arcing, structural failures, thermal stress breakdowns, and process plant disruptions to determine exact causation and liability.

  • Property & Industrial Risk Engineering: Conducting comprehensive pre-risk surveys, fire safety audits, structural hazard reviews, and industrial safety compliance evaluations across high-risk manufacturing and process facilities.

  • Plant, Machinery & Asset Valuation: Providing independent valuation and appraisal services for heavy machinery, industrial plants, energy infrastructure, and commercial property for insurance, financial enlistment, and corporate transactions.

  • Process & HSE Compliance Auditing: Technical evaluation of industrial process safety, chemical handling, environmental management systems (ISO 14001/45001), pressure vessel integrity, and safety protocols.

  • Marine & Offshore Engineering Surveys: Performing technical inspections, cargo loading/unloading supervision, pre-shipment quality checks, and marine structure loss assessments.

Standard Consultancy Workflow

  1. Initial Site Inspection & Data Capture: Rapid deployment to conduct site surveys, non-destructive testing (NDT), evidence preservation, and operational data collection.

  2. Engineering Analysis & Testing: In-depth examination of failed components, review of P&IDs, isometric drawings, electrical schematics, and maintenance history logs.

  3. Loss Quantification & Repair Verification: Technical evaluation of repair vs. replacement costs, lead-time impacts, and salvage value optimization.

  4. Definitive Technical Reporting: Synthesis of findings into clear, authoritative engineering reports suitable for claims settlement, risk mitigation, or legal proceedings.
