Newcastle engineering consultancy

Engineering for assets that aren’t allowed to fail

Invictus CSA is a Newcastle-based engineering team that keeps critical and complex assets safe, reliable and well managed — bringing System Safety, RAM and Asset Management together, with UAV inspection feeding the same picture.

Inspection data that feeds engineering decisions

Our CASA-accredited UAV team inspects the structures you’d rather not send people up, into or onto — powerlines, substations, towers, stacks, roofs.

The difference is what happens next: the same engineers who fly the survey interpret the data against asset condition, reliability and safety, so you get decisions, not just imagery.

Where we work

We thrive where system integrity isn’t negotiable

Based in the Hunter, we work across NSW and Australia-wide — in Defence, energy, heavy industry, rail, marine and the specialised assets in between.

Talk straight to the engineer, not an account manager

When you engage Invictus, you deal directly with John Silveirinha — the principal engineer who does the work, not a layer relaying it.
