O’Donnell Consulting Engineering Team – Resume Summaries

OCEI Logo

The O’Donnell Consulting Engineering Team provides design, analysis and troubleshooting services to Codes including AWS, API and ASME. In addition, we provide engineering expert witness services – determining root cause in civil, construction and product liability litigation. See our electronic brochure. (PDF)

While most problems presented to us are unique and challenging – they likely require solutions involving a team effort of expertise in materials/ metallurgy, welding, stress analysis and finite element analysis.
