Job Title : Mechanical Pipestress Design
Experience : 7 to 10 Years
Location : Bengaluru
Roles & Responsibilities
- Perform piping stress and flexibility analysis using CAESAR II, AutoPIPE, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools.
- Execute advanced engineering assessments and special studies for complex piping systems, supports, and equipment interactions.
- Evaluate piping systems for thermal expansion, sustained loads, occasional loads, and equipment interface suitability.
- Apply mechanical engineering principles such as fracture mechanics, fatigue, buckling, creep, and material mechanics to assess system integrity and remaining life.
- Design and optimize piping support systems including springs, guides, anchors, and special supports.
- Assess piping loads on connected equipment and ensure compliance with allowable nozzle load limits.
- Support brownfield modifications, tie-ins, rerouting activities, and facility upgrades with practical engineering solutions.
- Prepare and review stress analysis reports, support markups, nozzle load summaries, and technical documentation.
- Ensure compliance with applicable piping codes, engineering standards, and safety requirements.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver safe, reliable, and cost-effective solutions.
