History

Established in 1988, PHD Engineering is an organisation of consulting mechanical engineers, specialising in customised problem solving. PHD was created with the aim of founding an 'enclave intelligentsia' for bringing together the industry’s highest-quality engineers. As such, PHD has maintained a focus of placing a quality imperative upon all projects in which it is involved.

Dr Robert J Davey started 'on the tools' as an apprentice Fitter and Turner and progressed from a tradesman to the ultimate recognition of scholarship, intellect and expertise in earning a PhD in engineering. This academic excellence complements 20 years of experience as a Design Engineer with Australia’s premier industrial company Broken Hill Proprietary Co. Ltd. (BHP), 15 years of “hands on” plant maintenance experience and 5 years as principal of PHD. This experience base means Dr. Davey is uniquely qualified to provide practical design and analysis services across a wide range of engineering problems.

Whilst the focus of Dr. Davey’s expertise is primarily in mechanical systems and equipment design, PHD Engineering has an eclectic group of Consulting Associates with expertise in Electrical Engineering, Stress Analysis and access to Physical and Chemical Metallurgical Analysis.
