Sterling's Approach

Independent Structural Verification for Third-Party Works

Sterling delivers proof engineering services providing independent structural verification of third-party designs and construction methodologies. This capability is critical for infrastructure owners managing interfaces with developers, utilities, contractors, and other entities proposing works that may affect structural assets or operational infrastructure.

Proof engineering ensures third-party proposals comply with infrastructure owner technical standards, safety requirements, and operational constraints before approvals are granted. Sterling has delivered proof engineering for third-party access coordination including LXRP (Level Crossing Removal Project), Rail Projects Victoria for 9 years, telecommunications undertrack bores (20 projects across Melbourne Metro rail corridor), and developer interface management for major estates adjacent to rail corridors.

Our proof engineering reviews verify structural adequacy, construction methodology safety, temporary works design, and compliance with Australian Standards. This independent assessment provides infrastructure owners with confidence that proposed third-party works will not compromise structural integrity, operational safety, or network reliability.

Deliverables & Value

Proof Engineering Outputs & Risk Mitigation

Independent verification protecting operational infrastructure

Deliverables

→
Proof Engineering Reports
Independent structural verification reports documenting design review findings, code compliance assessment, construction methodology evaluation, and approval recommendations — providing infrastructure owners with transparent technical justification for third-party work approvals or rejections.
→
Interface Risk Assessments
Risk analysis identifying potential impacts of third-party works on structural assets, operational services, and network reliability — with mitigation recommendations ensuring infrastructure owner interests are protected throughout construction.
→
Compliance Certifications
Independent certification that third-party designs and construction methodologies comply with infrastructure owner technical standards, Australian Standards (AS 5100, AS 3600, AS 4100), and safety requirements — supporting regulatory approvals and contractual accountabilities.
