Construction Consulting - O'Donnell

Construction Consulting Services

Providing consulting services for A/E and Construction Firms on fabrication/ construction projects, including advanced structural design, new welding technologies, materials selection and processing, inspection technologies, and nondestructive testing.

These services include optimized structural design, fatigue of welded joints, mechanical properties of structural materials, evaluation of imperfections in materials and weldments, and the interpretation of inspection results. Finite element analysis is often used to model structures in order to certify compliance with relevant Codes and Standards, and to quantify safety margins.
