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:
