During our design process, we undertake a series of reviews and collection of information to ensure our designs are safe and accurate.
Stress Analysis
Stress analysis reviews are an essential part of ensuring our projects are safe, resulting in successful outcomes.
We provide piping and structural stress analysis for projects for a range of industries. When working on new projects, we ensure that our piping and structural designs do not fail due to loads imposed by temperature, pressure, or external forces.
It is our policy to routinely, or if required by our clients, run stress analysis checks which allow us to analyse, evaluate, and confirm the structural, flexibility and operational integrity of piping and structural systems regardless of the complexity.
We use CADWorx for our 3D designs, and we can directly link this to Caesar, which allows us to adjust the design, remove any potential issues, position pipe supports including anchors and guides and then deliver the final design.
Our designs undergo a series of design tests to analyse the impact of external and environmental loads on piping and structures in accordance with relevant international standards and client specifications. We ensure that our designs meet fatigue safety requirements, check their reaction to vibration, expansion, blast and ensure correct lifting.
We also analyse existing infrastructure or projects that you might have. Based on existing drawings or site surveys we can run detailed reports highlighting points of concern enabling design changes or future expansion
Site Surveys
We routinely carry out a wide range of surveys, for greenfield and brownfield oil & gas, process, utility, and chemical facilities across the UK and globally.
These surveys are to collect relevant dimensional, level, piping, structural, equipment, asset, and facility information.
As a minimum safety precaution, we hold a ECITB Safety Passports.
Conversant with: –
- Health and safety.
- Work and hot work permit procedure.
- Risk assessments.
- Method statements.
- Inductions.
Model Reviews
We carry out scheduled model reviews of ours and our client’s 3D models against current drawings, documents, and data. All our reviews are conducted in Navisworks either in an office or over teams.
These will include: –
- Manage meeting.
- Detailed reports with screen shots.
- P&ID check
- Piping and equipment check.
- Operational access.
- Clash checks.
- Propose design changes if required.
- Construction and maintenance access.
- Safety escape routes and muster areas.
