Pressure Vessel and Piping Engineering
Extensive experience can be offered to our clients in the design, manufacture, modification and re-rating of pressure vessels and associated equipment. Finite Element Methods (FEM) and Computerized Flow Dynamics (CFD) are used when required, to ensure design integrity and conformance to code requirements.


Designs conforming to the following codes and standards have been done:

	Pressure vessels: ASME VIII Div. 1, 2 and 3, PVHO-1-1997 - Pressure Vessels For Human Occupancy, DIN 13256 - Connecting Flange for Rescue Chambers, BSI Standard PD5500 - Unfired Fusion Welded Pressure Vessels, TEMA - Standards of the Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association
	Pressure Piping: ANSI B31.3 and B16.5
	Tanks, silo and storage vessels: API 620 and 650/DIN 1055 - Loads in Silo Bins
	Cranes and lifting structures: BS 2573 Part 1&2 - Rules for the Design of Crane Structures & Mechanisms
	Commercial Diving and marine systems: DNV - Rules for Certification of Diving Systems / Lifting Appliances, IMCA - The International Marine Contractors Association, Lloyds Rules of Shipping, ABS - American Bureau of Shipping

Other fields of knowledge are:

	High pressure and critical vessels
	Pressure Vessel quick acting closures and viewports
	Materials Handling Vessels
	Low and High Temperature Vessels/Systems
	GRP tanks, vessels and structures for acid services
	External pressure (sub-sea) and vacuum vessels
