Mechanical Pipestress Design

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.
