Providing Engineering Solutions
O’Donnell Consulting Engineers – formerly O’Donnell & Associates – is a Team of Individuals from Various Disciplines Dedicated to Providing Comprehensive Engineering Solutions to your Technical Issues.
Providing Solutions to Questions – Including:
- “My Equipment Failed – Now What?” – When critical equipment breaks down, you need answers fast. Was it design, materials, maintenance, or operations? We investigate the root cause and provide solutions to prevent recurrence.
- “Will This Design Hold Up?” – Before you build, manufacture, or install, you need confidence your design will perform safely under real-world conditions. We analyze stress, fatigue, and thermal performance to engineering codes.
- “Something Went Wrong – Who’s Responsible?” – When accidents happen or equipment fails, lawyers and insurance companies need technical facts. Our forensic investigations and expert testimony help establish the root cause.
We enjoy technical challenges – from the simple to complex. We view these challenges as opportunities to help drive your organization to the next level of reliability, safety, and profit. Our company’s roots began when Bill O’Donnell, Sr. founded O’Donnell & Associates – an engineering firm specializing in design and analysis, including components operating at high temperatures. We have since expanded to offer engineering services to clients throughout the world in such diverse industries as energy, petrochemical, metals, fabrication, construction, marine, mining, and aerospace.
With over 30 years experience, our team assists in the entire phase of a product life cycle, from initial design and safety & structural analysis, optimal design, manufacturing, startup/ commissioning, to operations/ materials troubleshooting and equipment life extension. This includes, aluminum, steel, stainless steels, titanium, nickel based and other exotic alloys used on ships, aircraft, industrial machinery, manufacturing & petrochemical plants, food processing equipment, pharmaceutical components, ASME boilers and pressure vessels, and oil / gas pipelines.
