Fitness-For-Service & Structural Assessment

Pressure equipment and structural steel, assessed to the standard — not by rule of thumb.

Independent engineering assessments for vessels, piping, tanks, beams, columns, and connections, using purpose-built calculation software verified against published worked examples before it's trusted on a real asset.

Process

How an assessment runs

  1. Site data comes in

    Thickness readings, design parameters, and inspection records — typed, scanned, or photographed in the field.

  2. Every extracted value is reviewed

    Nothing pulled from a document or photo reaches a calculation until a person has confirmed, corrected, or rejected it.

  3. The calculation runs against the standard

    Every intermediate value — not just the final verdict — is shown, matching the clause it comes from.

  4. A signed report is produced

    Documented methodology, calculated values, and space for engineer sign-off before any return-to-service decision.

Every asset has a safe operating limit. Finding it is the work.
