Analytical engineering mechanics

Closed form and numerical FEA solution techniques are used to design & assess the mechanical integrity (MI) of facility assets in a managed framework (AIM, OIM), fitness for service (FFS) assessments of deteriorated equipment and service life assessment estimates; recently developed DCU coker drum assessment methodologies are a recent original breakthrough development.

Design, Rerates & Evaluation

Design / service life determination, uprating, re-rating and alterations of pressure piping and pressure equipment, thermal & mechanical performance evaluation & rating of fired heaters, once-through-steam generators (OTSG) / heat recovery steam generators (HRSG); 3rd party auditing; consultation on regulatory issues, registration & compliance; cold eyes reviews.

Asset Integrity / Asset Utilization

As societal pressures drive transition to a low-carbon future; the hydrocarbon and petrochemical processing industries need to design, construct & operate both existing and planned facilities to meet these new challenges by foregoing conventional experience and adapt to rational analytical and integrity management processes.
