Aiken Conducts Engineering Analysis on Connectors

A major oil company installed some bolted connectors on a new subsea system. Just before start up, the company determined that these connectors may be in violation of industry codes.

Aiken Engineering conducted an engineering analysis of the connector followed by a thorough review of the applicable codes (ASME, API, DNV). Aiken Engineering determined that the connectors were in full compliance, saving the oil company millions of dollars in repair costs and lost production due to downtime.
