KiVo Engineering Services is a Melbourne structural engineering consultancy. We started KiVo to close a gap we kept seeing on site: buildings are getting more complex, but fastening design is often left until last, which leads to clashes, rejected inspections and delays.
We combine research-based expertise in concrete anchorage with practical structural engineering. That covers timber-framed housing design and inspections to AS 1684, foundations for commercial and complex projects to AS 2159, bridge and infrastructure inspections, and the assessment and strengthening of existing buildings.
How we work
- Anchorage worked out properly. We check concrete cone breakout, cracked concrete, edge distances and earthquake actions instead of relying on catalogue tables.
- Details you can build. Drawings are prepared for site crews, fabricators and building surveyors, with clear installation notes and tolerances.
- Direct access to the engineer. You talk to the engineer who knows your project, from the first call to the final inspection.
Standards we work to
AS 5216 (fastenings in concrete), AS 1684 (residential timber-framed construction), AS 2870 (residential slabs and footings), AS 2159 (piling), AS 3600 (concrete structures), AS 4100 (steel structures), AS 1170.4 (earthquake actions) and the National Construction Code.
