Let’s discuss how we utilize individual software for engineering and design;

CADWorx, a leading software solution, is renowned for its 3D plant design and modeling prowess. Our team has effectively utilized CADWorx to streamline the design process, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in plant design projects. Here are some notable use cases:

• Oil and Gas Facility Design: In the oil and gas industry, precision is paramount. We employ CADWorx to design complex oil and gas facilities, including refineries, petrochemical plants, and offshore platforms. CADWorx’s 3D modeling offers intelligent capabilities that enable engineers to represent these facilities accurately, optimizing space utilization and ensuring the efficient flow of materials and processes.
• Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs): This tool is pivotal in creating comprehensive P&IDs for various industries. Our team leverages CADWorx 3D piping to develop detailed P&IDs that serve as the foundation for successful engineering projects. These diagrams facilitate effective communication among multidisciplinary teams, ensuring that every aspect of the project is thoroughly understood and executed.
• Equipment Layout and Modeling: Efficient equipment layout is crucial in plant design. CADWorx allows engineers at Rishabh Engineering to model and place equipment precisely, ensuring that all components fit seamlessly within the plant layout. This minimizes clashes and interference and optimizes the use of available space.

2. Carbon Capture Plant, USA: Utilized for supporting FEED engineering & design
3. Chemical Injection Skid, USA: Utilized for detail design and engineering of Onshore and Offshore modular packages

CAESAR II is a popular tool for pipe stress analysis. Our team harnesses the power of this software to ensure the structural integrity of piping systems across various industries. Here’s how pipe stress analysis with CAESAR II proves invaluable:

• Petrochemical Plant Analysis: Safety and reliability are paramount for the petrochemical sector. Our team uses CAESAR II to perform rigorous stress analysis on intricate piping systems. They can identify potential stress points, ensuring that the design meets industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• Thermal Expansion Analysis: Temperature variations can cause pipes to expand and contract, potentially leading to structural issues. CAESAR II allows our engineers to simulate these thermal expansions and accurately predict how piping systems respond to temperature changes. This proactive approach helps prevent costly maintenance and repairs down the line.
• Design Verification: CAESAR II serves as a crucial tool for verifying the design of piping systems. Our team conducts extensive analysis to assess the impact of various factors, such as pressure, temperature, and loads, on the system’s structural integrity. This meticulous verification process ensures that the design is robust and safe.
