Services
Fitness For Service Assessments
Our Fitness For Service (API 579/ASME FFS-1) assessments determine equipment safety through Level 1-3 evaluations. We analyze reactors, vessels, and pipelines for fatigue, fracture, and operational stress. Our engineers combine field data with advanced modeling to extend asset lifespans while maintaining compliance and safety standards.
Finite Element Analysis
We use ANSYS and CAESAR II for detailed stress and thermal analysis of industrial equipment. Our FEA services identify failure points in truck frames, pressure vessels, and piping systems. This enables predictive maintenance strategies and design optimizations that prevent costly downtime across multiple industries.
Brittle Fracture Prevention
Our team prevents brittle fracture failures through material selection, stress analysis, and operational boundary development. We assess existing systems using API 579 standards and provide mitigation strategies for low-temperature environments, particularly in SAGD and LNG operations.
Oil Sands Wear Solutions
We develop material technology solutions for oil sands equipment wear challenges. Our services include laboratory testing, material selection, and degradation analysis for slurry pipelines, crushers, and separation cells, reducing maintenance costs and extending equipment life.
Process Engineering
Our process engineers create optimized designs for oil sands, LNG, and gas compression facilities. We develop P&IDs, mass balance diagrams, and process simulations using industry software, ensuring efficient and compliant system operations for clients globally.
