Tony is a recognised specialist in several aspects of industrial process equipment design. These include equipment operating at high and low pressures and temperatures, material selection for fabrication and welding, and Finite Element Analysis of safety-critical components, such as nozzles and support structures.
A particular area of expertise is the design of equipment for installation on the process decks of FPSO vessels, and subject to wave motion effects due storms and wind typical of the North Sea environment.
Another area of specialisation is that of the seismic design of plant and structures for use in the nuclear industry, where the integrity of foundations, supports and attached pipework is of critical importance.
