Our values:
 Safety first
 Integrity of design and Perform Quality Work
 Transparency of information
 Commitment to satisfy Targets and Deadlines
 Ethics
 Professionalism

Our Capabilities:
 Complete design of tanks and pressure vessels.
 Heating calculations for Fire tubes, electric, steam and glycol
heating system.
 Design of burner system as per CSA B149.3.
 Maximum fluid in and out flow rate calculation.
 Pressure safety valve and Pressure vacuum safety valve sizing
calculation.
 Tank pressure de-rating calculation to increase the pressure or
flow rate.
 Load cell and structure design if the fluid is measured by weight.
 Laser scanning and sizing the tank if real state is an issue.
 Forensic Engineering and under pining for foundation heaving.
 Expansion joints with monitoring and secondary containment
design.
 Lift design of roofs and tanks.

Our Tools:
 AME Tank
 AME Tank can produce both 2-
D & 3-D models.
 It is capable of performing
calculation as per API 650
providing the opportunity to
double check design
calculations and
manufacturability (identifying
interference of parts) .
 Models built in AME Tank can
be exported to Autodesk
Inventor and AutoCAD to speed
up the production of drawings.

Our Tools (continued…):
 GLM Custom built Excel Program for
designing (including calculations)
Tanks and components.
 Updated to comply with the latest
version of API 650.
 Approved accuracy of Calculations.

 FEA Software.
 GLM is utilizing Simulation Mechanical by Autodesk
 Predict Product Performance
 Optimize Product Designs
 Validate Design Decisions
 Build it, break it, and fix it prior to hitting the shop floor…

 Nozzle/PRO and FE/Pipe
 Uses FEA for predicting allowable nozzle loads
 Design Nozzles and Reinforcing Pads to support existing loads
provided by piping department.

 Compress
 Uses FEA for predicting allowable thickness
 Code calculation for pressure vessels

Example of some projects
 Example of design of roof lift
 Design stage:
 Design implementation:

 Example of design of roof lift
 Outcome:

 Example of lifting the tank
 Loading (3 point air bag lift)
 Due to symmetry tank was modelled as one half of the original.

 Example of lifting the tank (continued…)
 Stresses at the lifting points:
 Deflection of the bottom plate (with magnification 10)

Our Approach:
 Prepare calculations, General Arrangement drawings for all the tanks,
Inspection Test Plan and Welding Procedures for Client’s approval.
 Be proactive: starting detail design and make necessary changes as
client approval arrives.
 Scheduling shop built parts for uninterrupted field erection.
 Willing to work simultaneously on several tanks within our scope.
 Our involvement will be spontaneous to all parts of all the tanks that
purchased from sub vendors.
 Set target to achieve all deadlines.

Work progress:
 Being proactive, we have prepared
calculations, 50 drawings as well as
part of the General Arrangement
(GA) drawings for designs for
tanks.
 Hoping to have some clarification in
this meeting (thanks to the
organizers) so that we can produce
almost flawless design and Detail
drawings.

Summary:
 We are prepared to:
 Perform quality work
 Hit all deadlines
 We are looking forward to work with all our clients.
