Consultancy

Zentech provides engineering consultancy services for the application of the finite element method to a range of industrial problems. These include the use of our own Zencrack software for applications that may involve cracks or crack growth prediction.

Our consultancy services on a range of commercially important applications include:

forensic analysis to examine the effect of roll and mis-alignment of the roller bearing on fatigue crack growth development
damage tolerance assessment in aircraft engine components
modelling defects starting from sub-surface inclusions in a spherical roller thrust bearing assembly
linear and non-linear analyses to determine allowable residual strength criteria for vehicles with in-service flaws
creep and fatigue crack growth modelling in high temperature nuclear power plant components
fatigue analysis of riser hang-off structure for an offshore field development
analysis of drop-load on a subsea structure
laying of pipelines and riser systems.

Zentech also has expertise in the analysis of riser, umbilical and mooring systems and the design and installation of offshore pipelines. This experience has been gained through installation and operational engineering in the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, West Africa and Brazil and includes work at detailed levels (e.g. pressure rating), component levels (e.g. integrity) and trunkline levels (e.g. feasibility / resourcing).

Engineering projects have received approval from regulatory agencies, including DnV, ABS, Lloyd's, NPD and Rolls-Royce.
