COMPUTER-AIDED ENGINEERING

 has extensive experience in performing computer-aided engineering analysis. We use a variety of engineering software and hardware platforms which undergo nearly continuous upgrading in today's rapidly evolving computing environment. We have also written customized software for special applications, such as for evaluation of lifting and transport devices, but will normally utilize "industry-standard" computer codes for our projects.

The principal engineering codes currently used are:

  • COMPRESS: A pressure vessel analysis and design program developed and marketed by CODEWARE Inc. that evaluates pressure vessel components according to the current requirements of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Sec. VIII, Div.1 and Div.2.
  • VSR: The pressure vessel analysis and design program developed and marketed by SANT’AMBROGIO Software of Milan evaluates pressure vessel components according to the current requirements of the VSR Pressure Vessel Italian Code.
  • VVD: A pressure vessel analysis and design program developed and marketed by Intergraph. VVD evaluates pressure vessel components according to the current requirements of PD 5500 “Specification for unfired, fusion welded pressure vessels” and EN 13445 “Unfired Pressure Vessels”
  • TANK: A design program developed and marketed by Intergraph. TANK evaluates storage tanks components according to the current requirements of API 650 and API 653.
  • ABAQUS for FEA modelling and solutions to linear and non-linear, large deformation, dynamic, and thermal stress problems

Additional software is utilized as required for specific projects, including the piping programs. Furthermore,  has developed proprietary engineering software to evaluate aboveground storage tanks, conventional pressure vessels, noncircular pressure vessels, and nozzles; and to perform other specialized calculations.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL CONSULTING

 provides clients with a complete spectrum of quality assurance and quality control services. Our staff has extensive QA/QC experience in design, procurement, manufacturing, fabrication, construction, installation, operations, maintenance, and modifications.  's practical experience in QA, coupled with a comprehensive knowledge of industry requirements, allows us to serve client needs promptly and effectively. Call upon  for QA/QC assistance in program evaluation, development, manual and procedure review and preparation, vendor surveillance, receipt inspection and testing programs, audits, and training.

  • Audits
  • ASME Code Application
  • ASME Joint Review Assistance and Consuelling
  • Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) Application
  • Program Review and Development
  • Inspection Techniques
  • Vendor Surveillance
  • Expert Testimony

Quality Assurance programs should reduce costs. If this is not true, the program is faulty and should be evaluated for practical revisions to be made.

STRUCTURAL AND CIVIL ENGINEERING SERVICES

 is a consulting firm offering a broad range of steel structural and civil engineering services. Our commitment to an automated and creative environment allows us to continually improve our structural design process.

Our team of in-house designers use the latest industry-specific software to provide a full design service for our Clients.

We offer full frame design, connection design or both, adding our knowledge of fabrication methods and procedures to arrive at efficient design for fabrication and added value.

Working alongside our design-and-build CAD draughtsmen, we can quickly produce schematic frame designs to illustrate our ideas and design philosophies, or alternative ideas to assist the Consulting Engineer in assessing project-specific time and financial saving proposals. Full frame designs, backed up with calculations produced in detail by our design team's software packages, are produced in accordance with our Client's requirements.

Our experience includes:

  • Structural Design in Accordance with EN, CNR-UNI and AISC Specifications.
  • Design of Ladders & Platforms.
  • Design of Support Structures & Skids for Mounted Equipment.
  • Special Guides and Supports for Large Piping.
  • Supports for Vertical and Horizontal Vessels.

 

 is specialising in the design of skids mounted process plant for the oil and gas industry.

 was responsible for the detailed calculation design and for the relevant shop drawings and for fitting out supervision. The Process Unit consists in a fuel gas separator skid to filter gas for use as fuel in the power plant.
