Piping & Pipe Stress Analysis

Valdes Architecture & Engineering provides industry-leading piping and pipe stress analysis services, delivering over 20 years of expertise across oil and gas, power generation, chemical processing, and manufacturing industries. Our team creates detailed Piping Line Studies to support project cost estimating and layout justification, and we conduct virtual 3D model walkthroughs throughout the project lifecycle to ensure client approval before construction. We specialize in comprehensive investigations of piping systems, supports, vessels, nozzle loads, and vibration analysis, reviewing systems in both operational and non-operational states to identify discrepancies between “as-found” and “as-designed” conditions. Using advanced software tools, we deliver detailed reports outlining root causes and offer remediation strategies that align with budgetary constraints and code compliance, ensuring system integrity, safety, and long-term performance.
