Detailed Scope

  • Sustained, occasional, expansion, operating, test, wind, seismic, PSV, slug, and settlement load cases.
  • Flexibility analysis, expansion loop sizing, spring hanger review, and support optimization.
  • Nozzle load checks for pumps, compressors, turbines, vessels, exchangers, and tanks.
  • Buried pipe, crossing, anchor, guide, stop, and friction sensitivity review where required.
  • Stress report preparation with clear recommendations and support load summaries.
