Engineering Services
Mechanical Engineering: ATS engineers provide complete engineering support in all areas of general engineering from complex problem solving, product/process improvement, design evaluation, machine/system analysis, custom machinery design and project management. Our engineers are experienced, hands-on field professionals that you can count on. When it comes to design and implementation for small operators or mill-wide mechanical integrity programs, ATS is second to none. We begin by determining your specific needs, and then customize your plan to fulfill all your requirements. ATS uses both commercially available (Nastran, Autodesk Simulation Mechanical and CFD, LS-Dyna, Solidworks Simulation, COMPRESS) and in-house custom developed software to assist in evaluating vessels, piping and storage tanks. Our calculations are not generic or wholesale but instead are specific to every code and standard nuance whether API, STI, ASME, NBIC or even industry published guidelines such as TAPPI and NACE.

Materials Engineering: Our in-depth expertise with corrosion and materials engineering coupled with our extensive industry background allows us to develop process specific inspection plans so that the right inspection is performed from the start. We have the capability to perform cradle-to-grave engineering designs as well as innovative Fitness-For-Service techniques using the recommended practices from API RP 579. The role of the corrosion/materials engineers is crucial since they are typically part of a multi-disciplinary team being responsible for identifying the cause of damage. They also select the material properties used in the assessment, determine remaining life (including future corrosion allowance), and develop appropriate remediation or monitoring plans.
