Lead Piping Stress Engineer- (Static/Dynamic Analysis)

KBR-AMCDE is looking for a Lead Piping Stress Engineer with solid background in Static/Dynamic Analysis. Candidates should have a minimum of 15 years of experience in the same field.

STATIC ANALYSIS:

• Identify different stress packages through review of P&IDs / Line Designation tables.
• Performs piping flexibility analysis for critical piping systems during preliminary design and detailed design phase of Project.
• Perform analysis for sustained, thermal and multiple operating cases, occasional (viz winds, seismic, relief, hammer etc.)
• Perform pipe stress analysis for different equipment like Steam turbine, Compressors, Centrifugal Pumps, tanks, exchangers, heaters, columns, etc.
• Provide pipe loading information to Civil/Structure.
• Resolve high pipe loads on equipment nozzles & high secondary stresses in piping.
• Selection of spring hangers, snubbers, struts for pipe supports.
• Locate and identify pipe supports on isometrics along with type of supports.
• Evaluation of local stresses via code using WRC107/297 or FEA.
• Review and sign-off piping isometrics considering flexibility and supporting.
• Prepare complete documentation of the stress analysis and support design.
• Participates in reviewing and checking designs, drawings and data from suppliers.
• Understands role played by other disciplines on the project.
• Provides technical direction and assigns work to engineers, designers, and drafters who assist on specific assignments.

DYNAMIC ANALYSIS:

• Performs AIV & FIV using Energy Institute Guideline or other applicable engineering standards.
• Have a good in-depth knowledge of performing Modal Analysis, Harmonic Analysis, Time History Analysis & Response Spectrum Analysis modules in Caesar II.
• Have a good in-depth knowledge of performing harmonic analysis in Caesar II for reciprocating compressors/pumps.
• Have a good in-depth knowledge of Piping Fatigue Analysis.
• Have a broad knowledge in troubleshooting piping vibrations that occurs at site.
• Be able to interpret site measurement with respect to vibration.
• Perform root cause analysis for piping vibrations that occurs at site.
• Be able to recommend possible mitigation, to eliminate if not minimize piping vibrations that occurs at site to acceptable level as per standard requirement.

JOB KNOWLEDGE:

• Knowledge of design codes and standards applicable for Pipe Stress Analysis design work.
• Very good and in-depth Knowledge of stress analysis software like Caesar 2, its applicability and interpretation.
• Knowledge of design codes and standards applicable for Pipe Support design work.
• Very good and in-depth Knowledge of support selection.
