This includes design to code formulae and also design using in house or other methods to comply with code stated but unformulated requirements. Any additional design considerations necessary for a safe and serviceable product are also addressed.

Design is also carried out of non-pressure parts attached by welding or otherwise to the pressure envelope.

The services provided cover:

• Checking against mechanical and practical requirements and revision if required of pressure part scantlings generated by process design
• Design of nozzles, ends, thermal sleeves and other details
• Material selection and mechanical design of heated and unheated pressure part attachments
• Checking of pressure parts for gas flow-induced vibration and specification of suitable anti-vibration devices
• Assessing the limits on boiler performance dynamics imposed by thermal stress in pressure parts
• Production of technical specifications for purchase of relevant materials and out-sourced design and manufacture
• Production or review of relevant parts of erection and operating instructions
• Informed advice on interpretation and pending changes of British, European and American boiler standards by virtue of membership of the relevant committees
