American university in cairo
Jul 2014 - Jan 2017- ASME code for power piping, B31.1 (4 rounds)- ASME code for process piping, B31.3 (8 rounds)- ASME code for pipeline transportation systems for gases, B31.8 (3 round)- Piping Stress Analysis Using Caesar II (8 rounds)- Design and Construction of Piping Systems (1 round) To investigate the failure occurred in the hot water line, I visited the site and reported the observation of the failure. Then, I reviewed design data, including stress analysis reports, hydraulic calculations, equipment and pipe components selection, etc. From this, I modelled the existing system to prove the proposed failure causes and reported it. Finally, I proposed remedial plan including the design changes and analysis of the new design.
