Three things, done properly.

Every job is quoted fixed-price after I see your files. You get native source files, PDFs and a short handover note — not just pictures.

SolidWorks model of a five-section telescopic crane boom, retracted 50 t truck crane on site during boom remounting
Reverse engineering · SolidWorks · field work

50 t truck-crane boom rebuilt in CAD — with no OEM manual

A 5-section telescopic boom arrived with missing sheaves and ropes and no documentation from the maker. I measured it and modelled it in SolidWorks to find which sheaves and ropes were missing. The model showed that one section had been shortened by an earlier repair, so the advice was to lock that section and run on a derated load chart instead of guessing. I then supervised the boom remounting on site.

2-tonne industrial goods lift, designed around an existing winch

The client already owned a 3 t winch and wanted a goods lift built locally. Four UPN160 columns carry the structure and also act as the car guides, and 2:1 reeving gets the most out of the winch. The safety system is a wedge fall-arrest with hydraulic damping, and a rope-break simulation was used to check it.

Portal frame model of a steel hangar
Shop drawings

92 t hangar portal frame, rebuilt plate by plate

Typical frame modelled from detailing data, with every joint checked for hole alignment. 37 drawing sheets were produced, and the few mismatches with the source data were flagged.

Steel weldment stand for twin diesel tanks
Weldment

Stand for twin 3,000 L diesel tanks

True weldment designed for an 8 t load. Peak bending stress is about 99 MPa, roughly 2.4× margin to yield. Includes a fabrication drawing with an automatic cut list in real 1.7 mm tube.

PLC and HMI panel of a filling machine
PLC / HMI

Filling machine back online after a drive was removed

Removing the drive broke the shared RS-485 chain between HMI, PLC and drive. The HMI was rewired directly to the PLC and the orphan Modbus polling was removed from the HMI project. The PLC program needed no changes.

Salt-dryer condition report & new chimney

Root-cause report covering the chimney, vibrator and burner, which were each making the others worse. Includes a redesigned square-to-round chimney. Issued in 3 languages.

Industrial earthing & panel remediation

Three-rod bonded earth array with inspection chambers so each rod can be tested every year. Tape joints replaced with proper lugs, panels rewired and labelled.

// How I work

Clear scope. Fixed price. No surprises.

Send the files

Drawings, photos, PLC/HMI backups, nameplates — whatever you have. A phone photo with a tape measure is a fine start.

Scope & quote

I reply with what I understood, what's missing and a fixed price with a delivery date. Nothing starts until you agree.

Build & check

Model, program or report — then checked against your data. Assumptions are written down, never hidden.

Deliver & hand over

Native files + PDF + a short handover note explaining what was done and why.

// About

Hands-on first. Then the screen.

I'm Fouad. I've spent 15+ years working on industrial equipment, including 8 years machining and fabricating for heavy equipment in Cyprus. Today I co-run an industrial maintenance company in Luanda, Angola, working on gensets, cranes, forklifts, production lines and the controls behind them.

IronLogic is the remote side of that work. The drawings, programs and reports I deliver come from someone who has stood next to the machine and knows what the workshop can actually build.
