FFS stands for “Fitness-For-Service” and has been an API Recommended Practice 579 since January 2000. By June 2007, it became a Standard jointly developed by API and ASME. The use of FFS has become more prevalent in recent years for Level 3 FFS assessments, but the...
In Part 1 of our series on rewarding structural engineering careers, we talked about the engineers, designers, and technicians who work in industrial processing facilities and turn ideas into new products that make advances in our modern world possible. In...
A Midwest refinery requested Brindley Engineering’s (BE) services for the design and quality oversight of an elevated reinforced concrete slab located within a live refinery unit. Brindley provided a condition assessment of the floor, engineered and designed a new...
Behind each structural engineering project at Brindley Engineering, you will find an associated 3D parametric model, which will not be only defined by its design and operational conditions, applicable codes, and standards, but also for a proper geometric...
A Midwest client tasked Brindley Engineering to develop multi-discipline design drawings for the expansion of process boundaries. New mechanical equipment was being installed to increase the facility production capabilities that required civil/structural and...
BE was consulted to provide a field evaluation, analysis, engineering, design and construction field technical services for the removal and replacement of multiple module roofs that also served as the floors and support structures for fin fans mounted to the...
The use of concrete as a building compound was first recorded over 2000 years ago by the Romans. Concrete was used to build numerous structures and helped improve the safety and load capacity of those structures as well as the overall standard of living resulting...
A client contracted Brindley Engineering to provide construction and check-out documents related to a DCS upgrade. With many new homerun cables to be installed, project deliverables included junction box and marshaling wiring diagrams, loop drawings and all related...
Brindley was called upon to assist a refinery on the Gulf Coast to develop and implement a risk-weighted, statistically driven, structural & fireproofing program to replace the existing inspection process. The facility was comprised of over nearly two dozen...
BE has conducted numerous API 2218 assessments for Oil & Gas, Chemical, Petrochemical, and other industrial markets to help clients determine where fireproofing is and is not needed to ensure their facilities are protected in the event of a fire and to minimize...
