05 · PIPELINE
Pipeline engineering & pigging systems
Pipeline engineering is a separate discipline from in-plant piping. It covers the long-distance cross-country and offshore lines that connect fields, plants and terminals, and the pigging equipment that keeps them clean and inspectable. We engineer pig launchers, receivers and bi-directional traps, with their quick opening closures, supports and handling equipment.

08 · FEA / CFD
FEA & CFD analysis
