Specialized Studies

Delivering Turn-Key, Innovative , and Cost-Effective Design Solution With
Comprehensive Analysis & Studies

Exponent Engineering & Consulting provides specialized engineering services such as 3D modelling, hydraulic calculations, piping analysis, structural analysis and preparation of associated engineering detail drawings for both greenfield and brownfield designs.

These studies are normally part of our integrated study workflow, but can be provided as standalone at any stage of a project. This could be during the exploration, appraisal, development or production phase of the asset’s life. Exponent specialized studies teams can provide the necessary support and information required for you to undertake and successfully develop your hydrocarbon resources. No matter what your requirements, our team of Exponent experts can provide the appropriate answer to your question. Read on, or contact us for further details on all our specialized studies services and how they can benefit you.

Pipe Stress Analysis

It is an essential component of the piping system’s design and engineering.
It allows engineers to address issues related to the safety of the piping, its components, connected equipment, and piping deflection.
It prevents the premature failure of the piping and the piping components.
It ensures the maintenance of the stress in the piping within allowable limits.
It involves the analysis of loads on the nozzle connecting the equipment to the piping.

Structural Analysis

This deals with the design, analysis, and verification of the load-carrying capacities of structural components for pipe racks, pipe supports, structural connections, internal vessel components, rectangular ducts with stiffeners, equipment skids, etc.
It involves the structural analysis and design of individual structures and non-pressure parts (e.g., platforms, ladders, clips, and other attachments) attached to various parts of the pressure vessels and heat exchangers.
There are also special types of structural analyses (e.g., fatigue analysis, blast analysis, damage analysis and more), as per client requirements, whereby specifications ought to be carried out.

Surge Analysis

We undertake comprehensive pressure surge analysis studies in which we identify potential pressures surge scenarios, identify under what conditions these are the most extreme, and computationally quantify the severity of these scenarios.
As required we investigate means for mitigation, and use parametric analyses to optimise these solutions for their effectiveness and their cost effectiveness.
Our surge analysis reports will explain the hydraulic phenomena and the mitigation and will include full conclusions and detailed recommendations for action.
