Project Summary

Conserve Solutions conducted a comprehensive pipe stress analysis for a confidential crude oil pipeline project, addressing key factors affecting pipeline integrity and safety. The study involved detailed checks for sustained, thermal, and occasional stresses to ensure the piping system complies with industry standards under various operating conditions. The engineering team developed critical load case combinations to manage bending effects such as hogging and sagging, alongside blast scenario assessments for enhanced safety. Support designs, including spring supports, were optimized for structural stability and operational reliability. This project highlights Conserve’s expertise in pipeline stress engineering and its commitment to safeguarding critical energy infrastructure with precision and code adherence.
