Why Use Professional Engineering Services for Pressure Equipment?

Pressure equipment decisions carry high consequences—safety, environmental risk, downtime, and regulatory exposure. Professional Engineering (PE) services provide code-based engineering oversight to ensure repairs, alterations, re-rates, and continued-service decisions are technically sound and defensible.

A licensed PE helps transform inspection findings into clear engineering actions aligned with API and ASME requirements.

Key Reasons to Use PE Services

• Required for many code and jurisdictional situations
  Depending on the scope and location, repairs, alterations, and documentation packages may require PE involvement for acceptance by owners, insurers, or jurisdictions.

• Supports safe continued operation
  When inspections identify metal loss, cracking, distortion, or other damage, PE evaluations help determine whether equipment can remain in service and under what conditions.

• Defensible engineering for repairs, alterations, and re-rates
  A PE-stamped package provides confidence that calculations and assumptions were performed using accepted engineering practice and applicable standards.

• Reduces downtime and rework
  Clear engineering direction—materials, dimensions, weld details, and required NDE—helps ensure repairs are executed correctly the first time.

• Confidence for auditors and stakeholders
  PE-reviewed documentation strengthens mechanical integrity records for PSM, RBI programs, and third-party audits.

Our Professional Engineering Services Include

• PE involvement aligned with API/ASME needs
  Engineering support for pressure vessels, piping systems, and aboveground storage tanks in conjunction with API inspection programs (API 510, API 570, API 653) and assessment approaches consistent with API 579 (as applicable).

• Fitness-for-service and engineering assessment support
  Engineering evaluation of inspection data to support continued service, repair planning, and risk-informed decisions.

• Repair, alteration, and re-rate calculation packages
  Code-based calculations and documentation to support:

  • Repair and alteration packages

  • Re-rating and MAWP evaluations

  • Remaining life and inspection interval recommendations

  • Material selection and metallurgical recommendations based on service environment

• Sealed drawings and reports when required
  A complete drawings + calculations package with professional reporting suitable for owners, auditors, and jurisdictional review when PE sealing is required.

• Multi-state licensing coverage
  Employees and partners with PE licenses in multiple states to support projects across multiple jurisdictions.
