Shaw has unique in-house engineering and design capabilities and expertise that enable the Company to provide value added services in the development of piping systems. Utilizing state-of-the-art plant management software, which is a three-dimensional design system with database capabilities, Shaw's team of engineers works with the customer to develop the design of the piping system, primarily for power generation projects.
In this phase of the process, the customer profits from Shaw's unique ability to optimize the system's design to achieve a higher quality product. This plant design management software is linked to the Company's SHAW-DRAW system, seamlessly interfacing the design and fabrication process, and saving valuable time at the beginning of the cycle.
Shaw performs many engineering & plant design functions, including:
- Pipe sizing and wall thickness calculations
- Pipe material selection
- Detail pipe design, layout and routing based on client's P&IDs and equipment arrangement drawings
- Piping stress analysis for all load cases and modes of operation
- Design of special piping and other components
- Finite element and thermal gradient analysis
- Selection, design and detail of pipe hangers and supports, complete with supplementary steel requirements
- PDMS and PDS -- three-dimensional, database-driven plant design software that runs on the latest Silicon Graphics and PC equipment at 25 workstations in Englewood, New Jersey, Toronto, Canada, and Derby, U.K.
- AutoCAD - Utilized for drafting and two-dimensional drawing development.
- CAESAR II - a piping stress analysis program with a full range of static and dynamic capabilities that analyze any piping system for normal or transient conditions, including every possible mode of operation.
- ALGOR - a finite element modeling and analysis program to expedite and evaluate special piping and support components.
- FCI-HANGER - a proprietary software system that automatically designs pipe hangers, supports, restraints, supplementary steel and other related components.
- SHAW-DRAW - an engineering software tool which receives geometric, material and specification information from a variety of engineering modeling tools, interfaces with PDMS & PDS, receives three-dimensional CAD electronic mode/design and automatically generates shop details and bills of material for piping fabrication.
