Outsourcing different services have been beneficial to many people. It has significantly grown over the past years. The main reason to choose the outsourcing method is to cut down the overall pricing and pressure with the work. Engineering services outsourcing is not a new thing now, it has been here for many years. But it is getting popular because of the numerous advantages like reducing overheads, increasing efficiency, skilled expertise, and flexible staffing.

Many companies in the world did realize the importance of outsourcing any engineering services like Piping Engineering. The primary reasons for making such arrangements are ready availability of basic skills and expertise in the market. It also allows the in house team of the companies to take care of Staad analysis and other complex arrangements.

Here you can find some good reasons to consider outsourcing piping engineering services.

High-Level Expertise: There is a very low probability to have all kinds of engineering employees in a company. And it is also not reasonable to lose a project or hire an employee to fulfill one part of the project. Outsourcing is the perfect way to deal with these scenarios. There are readily available experts with great knowledge of materials, loads, and stress analysis. It is the best way to complete a project successfully.

Cost-Effective: When you are taking the help of the expert, it is obvious to get innovative and smart solutions. These solutions will help in dealing with piping design and engineering. It is far different from the in house team works. They will not only use different engineering software to contribute to the project but will think out of the box. It will increase the overall productivity of the project and delivers smart solutions.

Use of Space: Optimizing the piping systems and make optimal usage of plant space will enhance accessibility and ease of maintenance. Modern CAD systems and Softwares did pave the way to design the piping systems more efficiently. And outsourcing will reduce the cost burdens of purchasing the software and hiring resources. Any piping engineering companies will help you with designs the entire analysis. There won’t be any stress involved regarding the piping designs while also saving your finances.

Flexibility: You need to contact the organizations having proven track record for outsourcing the services. These companies give flexibility assurance during the project. Everything is tailored as per your requirement price, time, material, model, and many more.

Accuracy: Any plant design needs a perfect expert to work on piping engineering. Accuracy plays a really important element in creating the piping models. Experts have knowledge of all the international codes and standards of all piping design types. They will provide reliable and relevant solutions.

Outsourcing piping engineering services is not just about financial saving. Although it is the basic benefit of outsourcing and now you can see there are many more. It is all about getting a reliable partner to complete the project. It will increase the considerable value and speed up the schedule. And also provides innovative ideas to get efficiency.

Automation solution does help all kinds of companies such as designing, manufacturing, and development. It is a bit tricky to choose perfect PDMS modeling (Plant Design Management System) for your project. PDMS mainly about designing data for the product development process. It improves the product design data efficiently if the perfect expert is chosen for the work.

There not many possibilities that every company does have an expert suitable for the project. But there is certainly a possibility of outsourcing the PDMS service. When you do not have an appropriate employee, for project success it is the best possible way. And there are many advantages when it comes to PDMS service outsourcing.

Pre-Bid Proposal

The pre-Bid proposal is given by the organization, you are connecting for outsourcing. They do perform some of the following tasks.  

As per the project requirement, they will prepare concept designs before going forward.    

Give you a pricing estimation for the engineering services being offered.  

Presenting all the input elements involved in the provided services. Evaluation They do evaluate everything before finalizing the bid. It all depends on the project requirements such as skills, products, materials, time, and effort.  After a thorough evaluation including checking with the previous projects, a final report will be given. This is done so efficiently to make sure that you can concentrate on other aspects of the project. Once you get the bidding you can decide upon your financial budget and ask for changes as your thoughts.  

Detailed Explanation:

Some companies not only provide

PDMS Modeling

services independently, but they will also coordinate with the in-house team. This will help your team to learn some of the other engineering software and tips. It is one way to get a perfect partner for completing your project along with educate your team.  

These outsourcing companies provide a detailed explanation of their part of the project. It will let you know what they are doing and what you got to take care of. And these presentations will be further used while doing other projects. And it can also act as the perfect knowledge source to the in house team.  

Extending Services

Outsourcing is also not just because of one project. When you want to expand your company services, but not so sure about how to? Then this is one of the many options. You can extend this service to your clients. And try with an expert partner rather than investing in the sources. Because when you are adding new services to the existing ones, there is a chance of ruining your existing ones. So it is better to be careful and check before completely getting into it.  

Adding one add on service is not just about hiring relevant employees. It is more than that like getting designing equipment, planning and even choosing the right employees. One wrong investment in these elements can make changes to the existing one too. There are many things that come with adding PDMS modeling service to your services list such as:

Developing Parametric designs using CAD software.  

Preparing perfect drawings based on the requirements may be difficult in the beginning.  

Validate everything in the expert point of view will be a tricky aspect.  

3D Modelling and Designing

The partner outsourcing company will provide PDMS designs through experts. These experts do have in-depth knowledge of designing software. In this way, you will get creative and perfect models and designs which give smooth consistency in the workflow.  

These are some of the advantages gained from outsourcing PDMS modeling from the perfect partner. Check the background and their experience before choosing one. Your project success rate which includes PDMS modeling service will be based on your choice.  

Stress Analysis of Structural Elements for Flare Stack

This paper analyzes the behavior of the steel wire rope "33x6x19s" using numerical simulation through CAD (3D modeling) and CAE (Finite Element) tools. The study focuses on the deformation of the wire, specifically the elongation and normal stress and shear stress inside the wire rope where it is not possible to visually check.

The paper will first discuss how the mathematical model of the complete wire rope is established. The wire rope has a complex geometric helix shape, as some wires may be straight, simple or double helix. Due to this complex shape, it was necessary to utilize the tool PTC Creo Parametric™ (Pro/ENGINER).

For the analysis of traction and friction effects in the cables core, the FEM Abaqus/CAE™ software was used.

By comparing the results from the analytical equation of wire rope elongation with the results from numerical simulation, excellent results were obtained. These results demonstrate that the modeling and simulation performed are reliable.
