Engineering - Piping & Ducting

Vèringer specialises in the mechanical design of piping & ducting (2D/3D drafting, piping stress analysis, pipe support design, ducting stress analysis, etc.) to the following industries: Petrochemical (offshore and onshore), chemical, power generators, pharmaceutical, food, refrigeration, heating and ventilation, etc. In detail, these include:

• Conceptual design development, design studies and design optimisation.
• Development of piping and instrument diagrams (P&ID’s).
• Development of general arrangements.
• Development of detailed piping/ducting drawings, including isometrics and supports.
• When required or specified, perform piping/ducting stress analysis calculations.
• Management of vendor drawings.
• Estimation and the preparation of M.T.O., costing and schedule control.
• Start-up procedures.
• Problem Solutions (in design, commissioning and plant operation phases).
• Specialised Calculations. Calculations are performed using the best available industry software and in-house spreadsheets:
  • Fatigue assessment.
  • Wind loads and vibrations.
  • Seismic loads.
  • Liquid sloshing effects.
  • Effect of piping external loads on nozzles/shells.
  • Secondary & discontinuity stresses.
  • Creep effects.
  • Ocean wave slamming.
  • ‘Water hammer’.
  • Pressure surges and mixed flow induced loads (slugs, etc.).
• Codes: ASME/ANSI B31.1, B31.3, B31.4, B31.8, API PP 530, BS 806, IP 6, API 6A and IGE/TD/12.
