 Prepare comprehensive technical reports summarizing methodologies, results, and compliance.
 Evaluate flange leakage and nozzle loads on equipment to ensure compliance with allowable limits.
 Conduct stress checks for both aboveground and underground piping systems.
3. Design & Structural Support
 Design and select pipe supports, hangers, line stops, and restraints.
 Calculate and size expansion loops, expansion joints, and flexibility elements.
 Design and size thrust blocks, buried concrete anchor blocks, and welded anchor plates.
 Evaluate the impact of soil, traffic, and overburden settlement loads on buried piping as per ALA (American Lifelines Alliance) guidelines.4. Piping & Hydraulic Calculations
 Perform design calculations including pipe sizing, hydraulic pressure loss, wall thickness checks, and support span determination.
 Provide input into layout optimization for constructability and code compliance.
5. Collaboration & Quality Assurance
 Interface with design engineers, project managers, and construction teams to ensure seamless integration of stress design into overall project execution.
 Participate in design reviews and value engineering sessions.
 Ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards, and client specifications.
