Who we are
About JAEKA
JAEKA is a Perth based engineering consultancy working in fixed plant and non-process infrastructure across Western Australia’s resources, power, ports and rail sectors. We pride ourselves on our ability to swiftly deliver meaningful outcomes to our clients while maintaining structure and quality.
Our presence in the industry is distinguished by the lasting relationships we’ve formed and recurring services. Our systems are built to be dynamic and aid our ability to move quickly when the market demands it.
What we are best at
Rapid optioneering — finding the right option before investing your time and resources.
The most valuable engineering on any project happens before the final design. Options are inexpensive to change on paper and costly to change once built.
Rapid optioneering is a core JAEKA skill: generating a credible set of options quickly, testing each one against the things that decide a project, and putting a clear recommendation in front of the decision makers. Before we look at options, we test the business case and define the problem statement. This keeps things on track.
We test every option against five questions.
An option that fails one of these is worth knowing about early. A good part of the value we deliver in a feasibility and concept study is a clear, defensible reason to pursue or not to pursue something.
Optioneering in practice
One problem, several options.
A worked option set from a JAEKA concept study. Each arrangement solves the same transfer problem a different way; each was tested against the five criteria.
Producing an option set at this speed is what lets a decision be made on engineering rather than on the first idea.
How we work
Technical excellence, and the temperament that goes with it.
02
Safety in design
Safety in design is a cornerstone of our approach. We define end-user requirements explicitly. Who operates it, who maintains it, so the safest solution and the most effective solution end up being the same solution.
03
The right level of detail
We present information at the level the audience needs.
04
Long-term partnerships
Our greatest value proposition is simple: building long-term partnerships. We set out to understand a client’s operation intimately and continue adding value across projects.
- Integrity guides every decision we make.
- Competence ensures every recommendation is backed by expertise.
- Leadership means open, honest, and timely communication.
- Sustainability is considered in every option we assess.
- When ethics and instructions conflict, we speak up early.
Engagement
Leading the study, or strengthening your team.
Our involvement scales to what the project needs. On some engagements we run the work end to end, driving the options process, coordinating discipline inputs, managing the interfaces and developing the deliverables.
On others we support the owner’s team as supplementary support, taking on the workload that the owners engineers do not have capacity for, working to the client’s templates and reporting into the client’s structure.
Our team
Experienced Engineers and Designers
JAEKA’s people have built their careers on Western Australian projects, in resources and minerals processing, in power, and in ports and rail. WA projects carry unique constraints: remoteness, cyclonic and ambient conditions, rostered work and the availability of the right construction contractor at the right time.
Our team is well versed with this. Engagements are staffed by experienced personnel. More on the sectors we work in.
Where we work
Based in Perth, Western Australia.
Working on projects across the Pilbara, the Goldfields and the Mid West.
- Processing, materials handling, and the infrastructure that supports remote operations.
- Sustaining capital and brownfield upgrades.
- Power and supply chain export infrastructure.
