Featured Project.
James Hardie
Mix Plant 7
Point Zero was engaged by MJK Fabricators to comprehensively carry out the design, engineering, certification and drafting for the new Mix Plant 7 at James Hardie, Carole Park, QLD. Mix Plant 7 is a new batching and mixing plant – an upgrade to the existing Brownfield plant. This posed a unique challenge because it required a new free-standing structure, with a control room specially designed to utilise available space within the existing structure.

Excellence in Engineering Solutions for Complex Challenges
At Point Zero Engineering, we provide a complete range of structural and mechanical engineering services to help you design, validate, and deliver projects with confidence. Our work focuses on improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enabling agile, reliable project delivery. By combining technical expertise with practical, real-world experience, we create solutions that perform in demanding environments — and make the process smoother for everyone involved.
RPEQ Certification
As RPEQ-certified engineers, we provide independent review, formal sign-off, and supervision to ensure compliance with Australian Standards and regulations. We cover both design documentation and site verification, offering practical advice to address issues early and keep projects on track.
Drafting Services
We deliver precise 3D models and 2D fabrication drawings that meet Australian Standards and streamline manufacturing. Our team also develops custom drafting tools to improve productivity and drawing quality.
Project Management
Our project management service ensures your engineering initiatives stay on schedule, within budget, and aligned with your goals. We coordinate teams, manage resources, and oversee communication between stakeholders to minimise risks and maximise efficiency. By applying proven methodologies and hands-on experience, we help deliver projects smoothly from inception to completion.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Using the latest FEA software, we simulate stresses, loads, and environmental conditions to optimise designs before manufacturing. This reduces the need for prototypes, saving time and cost, while ensuring safety and performance the first time.
Concept Design
We translate your ideas into practical, workable concepts that form a solid foundation for detailed engineering. Our concept design process balances innovation, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness to ensure early-stage designs meet technical and business objectives. This collaborative approach reduces risk by validating key assumptions before advancing to development or production.
Design Automation
We create automated design systems that allow both technical and non-technical users to generate accurate, compliant designs quickly. By reducing repetitive tasks and errors, we shorten turnaround times and boost efficiency.
What some our great clients
have to say about us.
Point Zero has been a vital part of our progress from day 1, as one of the lead engineers for our original design and construction partner.
They’ve been a terrific resource to complement our growing inhouse team, for both detailed work as allocated and as a subject matter expert for a range of specialised areas, including some complex technical challenges.
Timeliness and due date performance are also both up there with the best of them.
Mining3 has contracted Point Zero to provide engineering design and consultation services for a number of our projects.
We have been impressed with the services that we have been receiving on a number of levels.
First and foremost Gerrard Hickson’s multidisciplinary expertise and problem solving skills have stood out and accelerated our projects. Second, development of CAD designs has been prompt and economical.
And finally, the team at Point Zero are great to work with and are open to meeting regularly to discuss progress.
We have worked with Point Zero Engineering for a number of years on several biogas piping projects and always found them to be great to work with – professional, knowledgeable and great value.
