Plant Services and Fitness For Service

Brighton Engineering Solutions excels in Fitness-For-Service (FFS) assessments using a team well-versed in FFS techniques. We determine whether damaged equipment can continue to be safely used and have performed evaluations for reactors, vessels, tanks, truck frames, and pipelines using API 579/ASME FFS-1 methodology. Our analysis investigates the underlying damage mechanisms leading to a material's fatigue and fracture. Our expertise ranges from simpler Level 1 to rigorous Level 3 assessments, allowing us to apply the right approach for cost and time savings.

Forensic Engineering & Finite Element Analysis

Our forensic engineering and FEA capabilities help clients understand the causes of equipment failure and develop solutions for safe and reliable operation. We are experts in the use of Finite Element Analysis in various applications, such as brittle fracture prevention, water hammer & surge, swivel & clamp joints, and oil sands wear technology solutions. Through our extensive expertise in FEA software like ANSYS, CAESAR II, and Solidworks, Brighton can optimize equipment design and ensure safety and reliability.

Low Temp Brittle Fracture Prevention

Brighton Engineering Solutions provides cold brittle fracture prevention services, safeguarding equipment from brittle fractures at low temperatures. With our extensive experience in Fitness For Service and FEA, we deliver solutions tailored to clients' specific needs and challenges.

Process Engineering, Plant Design and LNG
