Pressure Equipment Services Offered

Design and Analysis

We provide mechanical design and analysis for a wide range of pressure-containing components:

  • Pressure vessels

  • Heat exchangers

  • Piping systems

  • Hot Tap fittings

  • Custom pressure-retaining components

  • Mobile piping /spool design

Using industry-standard tools we deliver robust, code-compliant designs backed by detailed analysis and validation.

The most common design codes we work with include:

  • CSA B51

  • ASME Section VIII Div 1 & 2

  • ASME B31.1 and B31.3

  • ASME PCC-2

  • API 2201

  • And many others

Whether you're developing new equipment or modifying existing systems, we ensure your designs meet the highest standards for safety, performance, and compliance.

Third-Part Design Reviews

Independent reviews add an essential layer of risk mitigation and compliance assurance. Our team offers objective, code-compliant reviews for:

  • EPC firms and fabricators

  • Provincial authority submissions requiring independent sign-off

  • Owner-operators seeking due diligence validation

All reviews are conducted by licensed professional engineers with extensive knowledge of pressure equipment codes and standards across Canada.


Re-rating & Re-validation

Whether due to changes in operating conditions, aging equipment, or repurposing of assets, re-rating pressure equipment is often more economical than replacement.

We provide thorough assessments and engineering support for:

  • Adjusting design pressure and/or temperature

  • Extending the service life of equipment

  • Re-validating equipment after repairs or modifications

  • Ensure continued compliance with ASME and provincial codes

We provide all necessary documentation, analysis, and coordination with authorities for re-registration as needed.


Design Registration and CRN Support

Navigating the Canadian Registration Number (CRN) process can be complex — but it doesn't have to be.

We specialize in preparing, submitting, and managing CRN applications across all Canadian provinces and territories. 

Our team has a proven track record of securing CRNs efficiently, minimizing delays and ensuring successful equipment deployment across Canada.

FAQs

  • Pressure equipment typically includes pressure vessels, boilers, heat exchangers, piping systems, and fittings that operate under pressure. These components are governed by provincial and territorial regulations and must comply with codes such as ASME and CSA.

  • We design equipment to meet the following codes:

    • ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC)

    • ASME B31 series (B31.1, B31.3, etc.)

    • CSA B51

    • API, TEMA, and other industry-specific codes

    All designs comply with local jurisdictional requirements, including CRN registration where applicable.
