Structural & Pipe Stress Analysis — Metering Skids

Overview. Structural verification and pipe stress analysis for oil & gas metering systems to ensure mechanical integrity under thermal and seismic conditions, including lifting and transport loads.

Scope of Work.

• Pipe stress analysis (thermal & seismic) using CAESAR II.
• Structural analysis with STAAD.Pro.
• Verification of supports, flanges, trunnions; lifting & transport loads.
• Foundation load calculations and anchor bolt layout.
• Transport stress review and rigging recommendations.

Key Deliverables.

• CAESAR II / STAAD.Pro analysis reports (stresses & deflections).
• Stress isometrics and annotated drawings.
• Leak risk notes & flange/joint verification.
• Lifting calculations and sling sizing details.
• Foundation loads & anchor bolt positions.
• Transport support & structural markings package.

Tools & Standards. CAESAR II 2013 R1, STAAD.Pro V8i — aligned with standard oil & gas engineering criteria for metering systems.

Results & Impact. Verified skid integrity for operation, transport, and installation; optimized support design to reduce over-engineering while maintaining safety margins.

Challenges Solved. Thermal/seismic combinations, module lifting & transport, complex load paths around trunnions and pipe-structure interfaces.
