Senior Principal Piping Stress Engineer

Review the client’s technical requirements for Piping Stress Engineering and establish the stress design basis/philosophy for various load cases, specification, standards and guidelines for stress engineering execution.

Prepare stress critical line list as per the critical line selection criteria plan, schedule and progress control for the critical computer stress calculations and visual reviews.

Perform static analysis using CAESAR II for the load cases such as dead weight, sustained loads, thermal expansion/contraction, wave acceleration, Hag/Sag Deflections, occasional and environmental loads, blast load, fatigue, slug, transportation, module lift and vibration analysis.

Provide effective stress solution for the Topside modules critical Piping and Deck Piping which involves equipment’s such as Compressor, Turbines, Pumps, Vessels, Separator, Heat Exchangers and Pipe rack Piping, etc.

Selection of spring hangers, expansion joints and special supports and preparation of data sheets for the same.

Provide technical solution for the non-critical line by performing visual reviews selection of spring hangers, expansion joints and special supports and preparation of data sheets for the same.

Monitor, check and approve stress calculations as per the checking procedure.

Collaborate well within team and communicate effectively with Piping Lead Engineer.

Vendor drawing review for the static Equipment’s/Rotating Equipment’s/Packages and ensure all the piping loads are within the recommended limit Stress check on the IFC Isometrics/Pipe supports and preparation of stress Isometrics and stress reports.
