Quick answers

Questions engineers ask us most

What is structural integrity analysis?

Structural integrity analysis evaluates whether a structure or component can safely carry its intended loads over its design life. It combines code compliance checks, finite element analysis, and assessments such as fatigue, fracture, seismic and vibration response to identify risk before it becomes failure.

What is risk-based inspection?

Risk-based inspection (RBI) is a methodology that prioritizes inspection activities based on the probability and consequence of equipment failure. Instead of inspecting everything on a fixed schedule, RBI directs effort toward the assets where failure would matter most, improving safety while optimizing inspection cost.

What is Bentley STAAD?

STAAD is a Bentley structural analysis and design application used to model, analyze and design steel, concrete, timber and aluminium structures. Engineers use it for buildings, industrial structures and infrastructure that must comply with international design codes.

What is Bentley SELECT?

Bentley SELECT is a subscription programme that provides access to Bentley software licences along with support, training options and portfolio flexibility. It is commonly used by organizations that want predictable annual licensing and the ability to scale usage with project demand.

What is pipe stress analysis?

Pipe stress analysis evaluates how piping systems respond to pressure, temperature, weight and dynamic loads. It confirms that piping, supports and connected equipment stay within code allowables, preventing leaks, fatigue failures and damage to pumps, turbines and vessels.

What is asset integrity management?

Asset integrity management is the structured process of keeping industrial assets safe, reliable and compliant throughout their lifecycle. It combines performance standards, verification activities, inspection planning and management of change to ensure equipment continues to perform its intended function.
