Welding Failures

ES is an authority on welding issues. This includes: welding processes, defect tolerance limits, failures analysis, welding procedures development and quality control of production welding. ESI is routinely staffed on major industrial projects to support welding requirements. ESI can specify and provide a complete weld inspection program using Non-Destructive Testing Methods to evaluate welding integrity and Metallurgical Failures.

Materials and Construction

Develop, review and edit material and construction specification for oil and gas projects. Perform analysis of Coating Failures and process safety, as well as, remaining life assessments for critical processing and oil refining equipment. (back to top)

Corrosion Control

Provide design and evaluation for corrosion control and cathodic protection, onshore and offshore. Develop corrosion control program, evaluation of Corrosion Failures and cathodic protection systems. (back to top)

Stress Analysis and Design Failures

Structural systems and detailed design and analysis. Stress analysis on machine components, frames, tubular and shells under static or dynamic loads, including non- linear material properties and geometry. Structures include mechanical devices, ships, fixed offshore platforms, caternary arrays, tunnels, dams, pipelines, breakwaters, bridges and temporary construction aids. (back to top)
