Detailed Mechanical Design

What we design

  • Above‑ground storage tanks – fixed/floating roof, API 650; low‑pressure tanks, API 620
  • Pressure vessels – towers, drums, reactors, separators (AS 1210 / ASME VIII‑1/2)
  • Heat exchangers – shell & tube, air‑cooled (TEMA / API 660) with thermal rating & sizing
  • Pressure piping – process/utility piping (AS 4041 / ASME B31.3 / B31.1)

Deliverables

  • Engineering calculations: thickness, nozzle reinforcement, wind/seismic, buckling, fatigue; thermal design for heat exchangers (duty, areas, TEMA checks)
  • GA drawings: layouts, nozzle orientations, supports, maintenance envelopes
  • Shop/fabrication drawings: details, weld symbols, nozzle schedules, lifting & transport points
  • Datasheets, specifications, ITPs, MDRs and vendor deliverable lists

Industries

  • Oil & gas / petrochemical
  • Water & wastewater treatment
  • Energy & industrial plants
  • Mining
  • Food and diary

Our process

  1. Define
    Basis of design, duty, fluids, allowable losses, interfaces and constraints.
  2. Calculate
    Code calculations; thermal rating & sizing for exchangers; piping stress checks.
  3. Draft
    GA layouts, nozzle orientations, supports; shop/fab details and BOMs.
  4. Assure & Issue
    Independent checks, ITP/MDR set‑up; issue IFC and coordinate vendors.

FAQs

Do you provide thermal design for heat exchangers?
Yes. We perform thermal rating & sizing and align the mechanical design to TEMA/API 660.
Can you supply shop/fabrication drawings?
Yes. Where required, we produce detailed fabrication drawings with weld symbols, bills of materials, and lifting/transport notes.
Do you design to Australian and international codes?
We regularly design to AS/NZS, ASME, API and TEMA standards, and can align with client specifications.
