Structural Engineering
Aztec Engineering provides structural engineering services to ensure that the equipment used on the job-site is operated within the correct safe operating capacity or that the condition of the equipment is sufficient to maintain the original manufacturer's specified capacity rating.
For existing load bearing equipment, Aztec can provide an inspector certified by the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) to complete a structural inspection, including Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) on the equipment.
Alternately, if a project requires a custom fabricated load bearing device that requires certification, Aztec will complete the required engineering analysis and certify the device to be operated within a specified safe working capacity utilizing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software.
Aztec designs, inspects and certifies structural systems for all levels of oil and gas and commercial projects. We provide customers with in-house structural design for a variety of products such as:
- Process piping supports
- Foundations
- Module design and fabrication
- Process equipment packaging & manufacturing
- Rotating and vibrating equipment supports
- Stairs
- Barrell docks
- Access platforms
- Above and below ground piping supports (with thermal expansion considerations)
Examples Include:
- Cranes, pickers, sidebooms, jibs, spreader bars, etc.
- Residential/commercial building structures
- Fall arrest devices
- Custom lifting devices and assemblies
