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:

• 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, it’s applicability and interpretation.

• Knowledge of design codes and standards applicable for Pipe Support design work.

• Very good and in-depth Knowledge of support selection.
