High-Energy Piping Retrofits: Why the As-Built Basis Decides the Outage

High-energy piping run inside an operating power plant

On a high-energy piping system, the engineering is rarely the hard part. Stress analysis is a mature discipline. Support design is well understood. Code requirements are written down and unambiguous. Give a competent piping group a correct model of the system and they will give you a correct design. The problem is the word correct. […]
