Specialized Engineering Support for Piping Systems and Pressure Equipment

We deliver focused expertise to ensure the integrity and performance of your critical infrastructure. Our core capabilities include:

Piping and equipment design reviews (can be performed under DNV accreditation)

We evaluate piping and equipment designs for safety, compliance, and performance, optionally following DNV standards for added credibility and assurance.

Material selection and specification

We help choose suitable materials based on operating conditions, corrosion risks, and industry standards, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.

Mechanical calculations and flexibility analysis

We perform stress and flexibility analyses to ensure mechanical integrity under thermal expansion, pressure, vibration, and other operational conditions.

PED technical file preparation

We compile technical documentation required for Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) compliance, including design data, risk assessments, and test results.

Risk analysis and root cause evaluations

We identify and analyze potential failure risks or investigate incidents to determine root causes and recommend corrective and preventive actions.

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)

Inspection planning based on risk. By evaluating both probability and consequence, we reduce unnecessary checks, prioritize critical areas, and improve safety and availability.

    • Design & Integrity Engineering

    Our Design & Integrity Engineering services ensure that systems are safe, compliant, and optimized for long-term operation. We review designs and calculations in line with applicable codes and directives — and when required, perform verifications under DNV accreditation.
    Scope includes:

    • Review of piping and equipment layouts, flow schemes, safety features, and design weaknesses
    • Mechanical strength and flexibility calculations — including stress, expansion, vibration, and support assessments
    • Preparation of PED documentation — technical files, material certificates, inspection/test plans, and CE compliance support

  • Materials

    • Materials & Risk-Based Engineering

    With deep expertise in materials and a risk-based engineering mindset, we help clients make technically sound and cost-effective decisions on inspection and maintenance strategies.
    Scope includes:

    • Material selection and specification optimized for operating media, pressure, temperature, and corrosion resistance
    • Development of Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) strategies — prioritizing inspection focus and intervals based on asset criticality and failure probability

  • Cause Investigations

    • Risk & Root Cause Investigations

    We conduct structured investigations of failures, degradation, and deviations — delivering clear insights and practical recommendations to reduce future risk and improve asset performance.
    Methodology:

    • Scoping and data collection (operations/process data, technical documentation)
    • Hypothesis development and evaluation of degradation mechanisms
    • Verification against design basis, specifications, and requirements
    • Prioritized recommendations based on risk, cost, and criticality
    • Technical follow-up and feedback to operations and engineering

    Deliverables:

    • Root Cause Analysis (RCA) report with failure mechanism and consequence profile
    • Prioritized control and action plan (including risk owners and timelines)
    • Decision support documentation for operations, QA, and project teams

  • Work Approach

    • Work Approach, Delivery & Client Value

    We adapt to your operational needs with flexible delivery models — on-site, remotely, or fully digital — and integrate seamlessly with your engineering, QA, and operations teams. All deliverables are traceable, prioritized, and aligned with technical decision-making and regulatory expectations.
    Client value:

    • Reduced operational risk and unplanned downtime
    • Improved regulatory compliance and documentation control
    • Optimized maintenance strategies and inspection intervals
    • Independent, precise, and cost-effective technical expertise

    • Review of piping and equipment design (can be performed under DNV accreditation)
    • Material selection and development of technical specifications
    • Mechanical calculations and flexibility analyses for structural and thermal integrity
    • PED documentation and regulatory compliance support
    • Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) planning and implementation
    • Technical risk assessments and root cause investigations

    Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)

    Smarter inspections. Safer operations. Longer asset life.

    Our RBI service focuses inspections on real risks—not routine schedules. By combining Probability of Failure (PoF) with Consequence of Failure (CoF), we target high-risk areas, reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and ensure compliance.

    • Strategic RBI planning based on data & risk thresholds
    • Optimized inspection intervals with LTA & RLA
    • On-site execution with real-time monitoring
    • Continuous improvement through a living RBI database

    What You Gain:

    • Fewer routine inspections (up to 90%)
    • Lower cost, risk & environmental impact
    • Shorter shutdowns, higher availability
    • Compliance without over-inspection

    Example from a completed project

    As part of our work with Risk-Based Inspection (RBI), we successfully optimized inspection intervals for critical pressure vessels at a petrochemical plant. Through detailed risk assessments, advanced technology, and integrated methods, we were able to extend inspection cycles, reduce downtime, and achieve significant cost savings – without compromising safety.
