Title:
Lead Piping Stress Engineer- (Static/Dynamic Analysis)
KBR-AMCDE is looking for a Lead Piping Stress Engineer with solid backround 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:
