Project Name: ZSM-5Date: December 2023 to February 2024I performed pipe stress analysis with Caesar II on piping systems and reviewed the work of other pipe stress engineers who worked with the group. I made pipe route changes if the route suggested by the design engineer did not meet the criteria. Depending on the feasibility and insulation, I chose the appropriate pipe support from the standard Process Industry Practice document and the special supports suggested by the client. I also performed a visual stress analysis of less critical lines and implemented the changes to the piping isometrics. The diversity of piping material using this project was high, and I paid particular attention to Piping Material Specification when reviewing isometrics for continuity and connectivity.Project Name: HickoryDate: February 2024 to November 2024 (estimated)This project is the expansion of the existing plant in Virginia. I kicked off the pipe stress analysis of this project by analyzing the existing chiller unit that ties into a newer section of the plant using Caesar II software. For the new units, I scoped the pipe stress job packages from the P&ID (Process and Instrumentation Diagram) of the project into job packages depending on the size of the piping system, its temperature, and the equipment they connect. In addition, I performed a visual analysis of the lines that do not require software simulation but demand the best engineering practices. I review the work of (and coordinate with) other pipe stress engineers. I also select appropriate pipe supports, including standard and cryogenic ones. I frequently communicate with the department managing engineer and the project manager to report the progress.
