specialist engineering
Advanced Mechanics
A major skill set of Peritus is a strong advanced engineering capability to handle many difficult and unusual situations and components. These scenarios usually call for analyses using first principles and/or highly complex analysis tools such as finite element methods and stochastic processes.
Our capabilities in Advanced Mechanics include:
- Structural analysis using first principles with closed formed solutions and/or model/prototype testing.
- Two and three dimensional overall and component level modeling using proprietary finite element modeling programs, such as ANSYS and ABAQUS.
- Risk and reliability based engineering for safety factor calibrations
Integrity Management
Peritus engineering services extend well beyond the construction phase into system operations. These include operating manual preparation, inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR), strategy planning and implementation. Peritus use risk methods to ensure IMR regimes are set with the optimal cost effective system performance reliability.
Our capabilities in Integrity Management include:
- Overall asset management planning and management, such as annual inspection planning and management, preparation of standard maintenance manual and specification of data management system.
- System and equipment reliability assessment.
- Engineering assessment in critical situation such as emergency shut down scenario planning, drop object assessment and leaks.
- Emergency repair system evaluation, design and project management.
- Use of Advanced Engineering techniques to assess critical unforeseen situations.
Materials and Corrosion
Materials engineering is key to field developments. Peritus specialise in materials selection, corrosion assessment and management, welding engineering and non-destructive examination (NDE).
With the ever challenging deepwater, ultra-deepwater and harsh environments, Peritus recognise the need for advanced materials selection, corrosion, welding and NDE technologies in readiness for these complex projects with associated complex materials issues. Materials are being tested to their limits with HPHT fields, including high H2S and CO2 conditions.
Our expertise in Materials and Corrosion include:
- Internal / external corrosion
- Materials selection
- Chemical Inhibitor selection and testing
- Welding and NDE during fabrication, installation and operation
- Failure probabilities, failure modes and failure consequences for human health, environment and safety
- Fatigue and ECA assessment
- NDE of components during fabrication and operation
- Corrosion monitoring
