Engineering Design & Analysis
Engineering Design and Analysis (Stress, Thermal & Fatigue) to Codes including AWS, API and ASME (B&PV, Piping and BTH) – Ensuring Equipment Structural Integrity.
Benefits of Engineering Design & Analysis Services
- Maximized Equipment Reliability: Rigorous design and analysis reduce failure risks, extend equipment life, and minimize downtime.
- Compliance with Industry Codes: ASME Section VIII Divisions 1, 2, and 3, B31.1, B31.3, and other international standards, ensuring regulatory compliance.
- Optimized Cost Control: Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), we optimize materials and design to reduce overengineering and waste, controlling capital and operational expenses.
- Enhanced Safety and Risk Reduction: Fatigue, vibration, seismic, and fracture mechanics analyses identify and mitigate potential failure modes, protecting personnel and investments.
| Service | Benefits | Risks |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure Vessel & Process Equipment Design | High reliability, code compliance, cost-effective design | Fatigue failure, leakage, non-compliance penalties |
| Fatigue & Fracture Mechanics Analysis | Early detection of failure modes, improved safety | Catastrophic failure due to undetected fatigue cracks |
| Thermal & Transient Analysis | Managing temperature-induced stresses | Distortion, material degradation, leakage risks |
| Finite Element Analysis (FEA) | Reduced physical testing costs, faster design iteration | Inadequate design validation leading to failures |
