Carrier Objective:

Seeking a professional employment for the position of Pipe Stress Engineer

with an organization in need of technical expertise, organizational and

management skills.

EDUCATION: B.S. in Civil Engineering, M.S. University, Baroda, India

Member of American Society of Mechanical

Engineers

COMPUTER SKILLS: Microsoft Office: Word, Excel, Math CAD, CAESER-II, SMART

PLAN, PDMS

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Over 25 years of diversified professional work experience in engineering,

design and construction of projects related to Petrochemical, Refinery, Oil

and Gas, process and Power (fossil and nuclear fueled plants). Worked as a

pipe stress lead engineer on Giant Refinery project with duties involving

preparation of work schedules and estimating man hour and resolving

construction related issues. As a lead on the project, defined scope of

work and client specific requirements, prepared deliverable list, prepared

stress/support engineering specifications, identified critical piping

systems requiring special attention and computer stress analysis based on

pipe operating conditions, connected equipment, special project and client

requirements, delegated work activities for stress engineer, prepare bid

package and material requisitions and prepared close out reports.

Pipe Stress Analysis:

I performed pipe stress analysis to satisfy the requirements of the

applicable ANSI and ASME piping codes and other applicable codes and

standards by appropriate methods" 1) manual calculations, inspection and

comparisons based on engineering experience and industry practice for non-

critical piping systems; 2) Comprehensive computer analysis using CAESAR II

stress analysis computer program for critical piping systems. Analyses

included consideration of Static loads (weight of pipe, insulation,

contents, wind, PSV discharge force, blast, seismic, etc) thermal loads

(expansion and contraction) and transient/seismic loads (acceleration due

to earthquake, acceleration due to platform motion, differential motion,

wind, water hammer and relief valve thrust).I evaluated equipment nozzle

loads for sensitive equipments such as Pumps, compressors, turbines, air

coolers, exchangers, pressure vessels, etc based on applicable

API,NEMA,ANSI,WRC and other codes and standards. Alternate piping routing

was recommended as required to satisfy the nozzle allowable loads. I worked

closely with piping layout group early in the project to avoid costly

rework and construction delays.

Computer Programs used:

CAESER-II, ME-101, SIMFLEX, DYNAFLEX, AUTOPIPE, EPD-STRUDL,

SUPERPIPE, TPIPE, NUPIPE, WESTDYNE, PIPE STRESS (PEPS), TRIFLEX,

PISOL

Work style:

Team Player, Innovative, Pride in work and result oriented. Willing

to be involved and accept responsibility, Committed and Decisive,

Good Planner and Organizer. Flexible and committed to work at any

hours in order to meet the demands.
