Front End Engineering Design phase through to Detail Design and Execution
The primary specialisation of Peak Piping Limited lies in conducting comprehensive pipe stress analysis. The company utilises Hexagon Caesar II, a leading software solution in the industry, to perform these analyses. This process involves evaluating and designing piping systems to achieve Design Code compliance considering Pressure, Temperature, upset conditions, transients and potentially many other criteria.
The company’s team of experts uses advanced techniques and software to analyse piping systems to identify stress issues, potentially leading to failure of pipework, excessive equipment loads or vibration leading to fatigue failures.
As part of our service, we provide mitigating and corrective solutions to be implemented at varying stages of a project’s development. We have experience from Front End Engineering Design phase through to Detail Design and Execution, in circumstances we have also amended calculations during the construction phase in accordance with ‘as-built’ geometry.
> Static Analysis
> Wind loading
> Snow and Ice loading
> Relief and Blowdown Piping
> Flange analysis
> Fatigue
> FIV/AIV
> Buried Pipework
> Seismic qualification (pseudo static and dynamic)
> Dynamic analysis – slug flow, surge, time history
> Expansion joints, Spring and Snubber selection and datasheets
Site Surveys and Code Compliance
In addition to software-based analysis, the company also conducts site visits to perform surveys at various facilities. This hands-on approach allows them to understand the unique challenges and requirements of each site and fully understand the customer’s requirements.
Peak Piping Limited has extensive experience working with various piping codes, including ASME Piping Codes, European Codes and IGE Gas codes. This ensures that all their analyses and designs comply with the relevant industry standards and code compliance is achieved.
