 EngineeringAnalysis
Value engineering directly translated into benefit.

CADE’s engineering analysis service comprises those engineering, simulation and consulting multidisciplinary
services that are aimed to assess critical plant equipment, high temperature piping, pressure vessels and structures
when performance is not the expected, failure has occurred or mechanical integrity and remaining life must be
evaluated..

Fitness for Service Assessment / Mechanical integrity assessment / Remaining life

Most of times FFS is applied when inspection findings revealed a condition that may impact the future operation of the
asset, such as metal loss (e. corrosion/erosion), distortion (misalignment, out of roundness, bulges or dents), laminations,
cracking or blisters, etc. Then, a fundamental decision is required (to repair, to replace, to retire, to rerate or to re-operate)

Fitness-for-Service (FFS) Assessment is a quantitative engineering evaluation to determine if an in-service equipment is safe
and reliable to operate at specific conditions along a defined time. FFS must be consider as a critic stage of any
Mechanical Integrity Program.

Some of cases in which FFS is a valuable engineering tool:

 An asset lacks its original design information or it may have exceeded its useful life
 For equipment operating in either high temperature and/or cyclic service
 For decommissioned asset that may be used in a different service
 Assets that have undergone any event that might have affected its serviceability like temperature excursions,
overloads, different feed/external environment or a fire.

Failure Root Cause Analysis

Plant equipment, high responsibility piping or critic components not meeting their intended design life, or accidents and
failures often result from factors including:
 Design errors  Misuse or abuse
 Material imperfection  Improper maintenance
 Manufacturing/assembly issues  Unforeseen operating conditions
 Improper heat treatments  Inadequate materials selection

CADE delivers comprehensive assessment and investigation of failures counting on a multidisciplinary engineering
approach, as powerful tool to determine what have actually occurred when an in-service failure arise.

Usually, a combination of factors is responsible of failure. Determination of the influence of identified potential factors and
how these factors have been combined to lead into a failure is the key to demonstrate, through a physical and /or a
simulation model characterization, its source.

Performance Assessement

CADE engineers collaborate with plant operators,
process licensors and engineering firms to solve
some of the industry’s toughest and critic
equipment reliability, performance and plant
availability challenges.
Operating and historical data analyses identify
opportunities or foresee future issues. Modeling and
technology-aided tools pinpoint problems. Lifecycle
cost calculations provide solutions, technical
recommendations and economic justifications.

Performance assessment includes evaluations of thermal, hydraulic and mechanical design,

accumulated damaged through historic operation and impact of upset conditions on equipment
and systems.

CADE’s performance assessment have proven especially valuable in plants where process
parameters have changed or where systems degradation has occurred.

3rd Party Engineers

Because of our expertise in the design, fabrication, construction and analysis of equipment and special structures, we have served as
technical independent advisor in disputes involving liabilities between the designer, fabricator, operator and contractor. Oftentimes, an
unbiased expert party is the unique guarantee solution to avoid further costly and long legal procedures.

Expert Witness Services

Based on our independence and objectivity means, CADE provides expert witness and forensic investigation for companies involved in
legal proceedings usually related to non-compliance of process/mechanical performance or failure in components, equipment or plant
assets within Oil&Power industries.

Our support can clearly explain the precise reasons for failure in laymen’s terms and our services provide independent analysis, reviews of
technical evidence and documentation, and provision of both written and oral testimony to courts, arbitrations, mediations and inquiries
when required.

Due Diligence Assessment

Technical due diligences usually cover aspects as operation historic and its impact on accumulated damage of main equipment and
systems, probabilistic forecast of major maintenance measures and replacement of main components of plant according to their current
condition (with associated costs), operation strategies optimization based on repair/replacement costs and production outcome.
