Services
Power Station Design
We design diesel, heavy fuel oil, and natural gas-fired power stations ranging from 500 kW to 28 MW. Our cold weather engineering ensures functionality in temperatures as low as -50C, while hot climate designs address reduced cooling efficiency. Services include CHP systems, 3D modeling, and compliance with ASME and API standards for global applicability.
Piping Design
Our piping design services adhere to ASME B31.3, B31.9, and B31.1 standards, using 3D modeling for ergonomic layouts and stress analysis. We optimize hydraulic simulations, provide isometric drawings, and ensure thermal expansion compliance for industrial facilities, including power stations and process plants.
Crane Design
We specialize in gantry and bridge crane design to CMAA Specification 70, incorporating fatigue-resistant connections and finite element analysis. Our services include life expectancy assessments, cold weather adaptations, and certification to OH&S codes for safety and durability in demanding environments.
Tank Design
We provide API 650 and 620-compliant welded steel storage tank designs for field and shop fabrication. Our services include structural analysis, repair assessments, agitator simulations, and low-temperature material specifications to ensure code compliance and operational reliability.
Lift Engineering
Our lift engineering services design spreader beams and specialized lifting devices per ASME BTH-1 and provincial OH&S codes. We use FEM simulations for stress analysis, provide certification documentation, and conduct third-party reviews for critical lifting operations in industrial settings.
