Metallurgical Engineering

• Develop rational approaches to structural integrity.
• Develop detailing for dynamically-loaded structures.
• Apply fitness-for-service analysis to determine least-cost, safe disposition of cracks and damage.
• Specify materials based on properties, corrosion, fabricability and cost.
• Perform failure analysis.
• Develop custom specifications that ensure design properties at lowest overall cost.

Welding Engineering

• Develop and review welding procedures to ensure design properties and conformance to code.
• Define inspection strategies, and specify construction and in-service examinations.
• Develop optimum fabrication strategies while anticipating and solving fabrication problems early.
• Develop optimum repair strategies.
• Supervise critical welding and repairs.

Technical Training

• Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) Training (incl. welding technology, hands-on & code)
• In-house training on steel construction technology (e.g., steel, welding, & inspection technology, welding codes)
• Seminars developed on demand (e.g., welding procedures, construction technology for engineers)

Technical Writing and Editing

• Develop and edit technical specifications.
• Develop technical, operation and inspection manuals including forms.
• Edit technical writing.
