Service Operations Engineering Consulting

The Service Operations Engineering practice (SOE) assists clients in resolving business-driven technical difficulties where it is essential to have a thorough understanding of both the technical and business concerns at hand.

Professional Engineering, Quality Results

To reinforce our commitment to quality operations engineering, each consultant at SimuTech Group must have experience in both engineering and business.

Risk management, asset management, dependability planning, technology planning, business planning, business operations, capital budgeting, and economic analysis are just a few of the topics that our experts frequently cover.

Services for Pipelines & Process Piping

The extensive system of pipelines and process piping is one of the most crucial parts of the infrastructure in the industrialized world.

Pipelines move gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons, sewage, steam, and water.

The system of pipes that transport process fluids (such as air, steam, water, industrial gases, fuels, and chemicals) across an industrial plant is referred to as “process pipework” in general.

In some extremely harsh settings, pipes and process pipework are typically built of steel, cast iron, copper, or exotic metals.

Particularly in sewer systems and distribution lines using hydrocarbons, plastic materials are being used more and more.

Reinforced concrete is frequently used to construct water transmission lines with very large diameters.

 

 

 

Addressing Weld Fatigue, Mechanical Stress and Fluid Flow Issues

Our work has covered a variety of topics, including the soils around underground pipes, weld characterization, pipe mechanical stress, and fluid flow concerns.

Mitigating failure risk is crucial because of the potential repercussions of pipeline and plumbing failures.

SimuTech scientists and engineers offer in-depth technical expertise that has assisted our clients in minimizing risks effectively during pipeline and piping system design, layout, construction, and operation, as well as in the creation and execution of integrity and risk management programs.

The workforce at SimuTech Group has helped clients with preventive initiatives of various sizes, from assessing the design and construction of the process pipes at petrochemical plants to reviewing the overall integrity evaluation of long-distance oil/gas transmission pipeline systems.

Many Fortune 500 industrial and petrochemical firms, utilities, pipeline firms, insurers, and capital project lending institutions have used SimuTech’s pipeline and process piping expertise.

Energy-Efficient Fluids Transportation Planning

When moving fluids and gases across the country or inside a manufacturing site, pipelines and process piping are the safest, most energy-efficient option.

Nevertheless, given the enormous network of pipelines and piping, failures do happen, occasionally resulting in significant property damage or fatalities.

Numerous engineering and scientific disciplines must be considered in order to properly identify the cause(s) of such piping failures.

SimuTech Group is thus well positioned to examine pipeline and process piping failures because to its wide variety of skill sets, and it has done so countless times on everything from quarter-inch process tubing to 25-foot-long concrete water distribution pipelines.

 

Fracture Mechanics & Holistic Service Operations Engineering

SimuTech Group analyzes the effects of loads on systems or products using modeling and simulation to help with design and failure analysis.

The team is made up of multidisciplinary experts that have worked together to apply their combined skills to a variety of engineering problems.

We work on a variety of projects, including downhole oil and gas sector instruments, satellites, and medical devices.

SimuTech runs simulations on a high-performance computing cluster.

In addition, making use of the most cutting-edge finite element analysis (ANSYS Mechanical) and fracture mechanics (Ansys LS-Dyna) software currently on the market.

No matter the scale of the construction or the complexity of the materials used, the team can handle any modeling challenge.

Our team can also get experimental results to support and confirm our analytical models, with SimuTech’s lab facilities across the United States and Canada.  This is our commitment to service operations engineering consulting.
