Complex Piping Design
Designing the superhighways of complex piping systems in refineries, processing plants, and manufacturing facilities requires a highly skilled and knowledgeable team of experts.
Our piping design team know the nuances of designing these complex piping systems that transport dangerous liquids, gases, and vapors along miles of piping lines to and from catalytic reactors, regenerators, storage tanks, drums, boilers, distillation towers and columns, and heat exchangers.
Our experts have mastered the art of blending decades of practical experience, advanced technologies, and innovative solutions to designing hundreds of thousands of miles of piping using a simple carbon steel, high-density plastics, or expensive high- alloy materials. Their strength lies in knowing how to skillfully collaborate with multiple engineering disciplines in a 3D environment to solve complex challenges and to produce a fully integrated, high-quality, functional design that meets our client’s production requirements.
Our piping designs incorporate client safety specifications and embedded OSHA safety standards which are strictly followed throughout the design.
Once our engineers determine piping layouts, identify setbacks, and confirm materials and service, they define the required expansion loops, anchors, and other critical factors to ensure the correct design, no matter the service or ambient conditions. There are few applications or materials that our pipe stress engineering experts have not completed stress calculations and analysis for.
Our clients often cite their appreciation for our field support services. Our piping engineering and design teams support field changes, discovery, field reroutes, as-builts and isometrics as required during events such as turnarounds or short construction windows. Beyond this, our team supports commissioning of lines, hammer testing flanges, and walking lines to gain signoff for startup.
