Design, Integration, and Optimization of
Industrial Equipment Systems
We are redefining how things are done in industrial plant projects.
Design and Calculation of
Process Equipment
We apply advanced knowledge in heat transfer, fluid dynamics, mechanical design, and international codes (ASME, API, PCC, WRC) to develop, modify, and reassess static equipment and piping systems in industrial plants.
Our work goes beyond theoretical calculations—we combine process engineering, mechanical integrity, and real-world plant experience to deliver efficient, executable solutions tailored to actual operating conditions.
We support all phases of design, reassessment, or equipment modification, including:
Process specifications (PDS)
Mechanical specifications (MDS)
Thermal and mechanical calculations
Fabrication drawings and technical documentation
