ENGINEERING

EKME’s Engineering capabilities cover the entire scope of the company’s field and shop fabrication operations, from Pressure Equipment to Modular Units to Tanks & Piping. Our ability to provide these services in-house allow us to optimize our design work, execute faster and offer advance control over project execution parameters.

Engineering covers the following sectors:

  • Pressure Vessel mechanical detailed engineering and strength calculations
  • Heat Exchangers thermal and mechanical detailed engineering
  • Storage Tanks mechanical calculations
  • Structural Steel detailed engineering
  • 3-D Modelling of Skid & Modular Units
  • Finite Element Analysis
  • Piping detailed engineering & spooling
  • E&I Detailed engineering
  • Lifting studies
  • Civil Construction detailed engineering

 

EKME designs and fabricates its equipment in accordance to the following codes:

  • ASME VIII Div. 1, Div. 2
  • PED 97/23/EC
  • AD Merkblätter
  • TEMA
  • BS 5500
  • API
  • CODAP
  • ISPESL
  • GOST

Client’s special specifications can also be adopted

The detailed engineering of the process equipment is carried out by EKME using the Compress software by Codeware or PV Elite by COADE for ASME vessels. 3D visualization and isometric drawings of the units under construction, enable the efficient organization of the production procedure from the prefabrication to the final erection / assembly.
