Performing stress analysis on piping systems using software likeCAESAR II, ensuring compliance with codes and standards, selecting appropriate support components like springs and anchors, and collaborating with other engineering disciplines. Key responsibilities involve creating critical line lists, generating design reports, and ensuring the structural integrity of the piping system under various loads (thermal, vibration, deadweight).
Key responsibilities
- Stress analysis: Conduct pipe stress analyses using software like CAESAR II to ensure the piping system can withstand operational and environmental loads.
- Compliance: Ensure all designs comply with project specifications, client requirements, and relevant industry codes and standards (e.g.,ASME,API).
- Support design: Design and select all piping support components, including springs, constant hangers, guides, and anchors, and prepare corresponding datasheets.
- Documentation: Prepare and review technical documentation such as stress analysis reports, critical line lists, specifications, and datasheets.
- Collaboration: Work with other disciplines, including layout, process, and structural, to integrate piping stress requirements into the overall plant design.
- Review and verification: Review vendor documents, isometric drawings, and other engineering deliverables to ensure technical accuracy and compliance with stress requirements.
- Technical support: Provide technical support for project-related activities, such as HAZOPs, technical bid evaluations, and design reviews.
- Problem-solving: Analyze and provide solutions for technically challenging projects, addressing issues like vibration, fatigue, and nozzle loads.
Required skills and qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
- Experience with pipe stress analysis software, particularly CAESAR II.
- Strong understanding of piping codes and standards.
- Proficiency in performing various types of stress calculations, including thermal, vibration, and fatigue analysis.
- Familiarity with related software likeWRC 107/297 andFEA toolsis a plus.
- Good communication and teamwork skills to collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams.
- Attention to detail and ability to produce high-quality technical documentation.
