Little P.Eng. Engineering: Specialized Industrial Engineering Services Across the USA and Canada

Bulk Material Handling Engineering

Efficient movement and storage of bulk materials are essential for industrial productivity. Our bulk material handling engineering services include belt conveyor design, transfer chute design, silo design, hopper design, feeder systems, and material flow analysis. Using industry best practices and advanced simulation techniques, we optimize material handling systems to improve throughput, reduce wear, minimize dust generation, and enhance operational reliability.

Whether handling aggregates, minerals, coal, biomass, fertilizers, or industrial powders, our engineers develop customized solutions that maximize efficiency while reducing maintenance costs.

Seismic Hazard Analysis and Bracing Design

Industrial facilities located in seismically active regions require robust seismic protection strategies. Little P.Eng. Engineering performs seismic hazard analysis and seismic bracing design in accordance with applicable building codes, including NBCC and ASCE 7.

Our services include equipment anchorage design, pipe seismic bracing, nonstructural seismic restraint systems, and seismic retrofit solutions for existing facilities. By accurately evaluating seismic demands and designing appropriate restraint systems, we help clients minimize downtime and protect critical infrastructure during earthquake events.

Structural Engineering Services

Our structural engineering team delivers practical and economical solutions for industrial structures throughout North America. Services include steel structure design, concrete structure design, foundation engineering, equipment support structures, pipe rack design, and structural analysis.

We work closely with owners, fabricators, and contractors to ensure constructability, code compliance, and efficient project execution. From concept development to detailed engineering, our goal is to provide safe and durable structural systems that support operational requirements.

Piping Stress Analysis Services

Piping systems experience a wide range of loads throughout their service life, including thermal expansion, sustained loads, occasional loads, seismic events, vibration, and pressure fluctuations. Little P.Eng. Engineering specializes in piping stress analysis services using leading software platforms such as CAESAR II and AutoPIPE.

Our analyses evaluate piping flexibility, nozzle loads, support reactions, thermal movements, and code compliance in accordance with ASME B31.1 and ASME B31.3. Additional capabilities include pipe support design, water hammer analysis, dynamic analysis, seismic piping analysis, vibration assessments, and relief valve reaction studies.

Comprehensive piping stress analysis helps prevent failures, reduce maintenance requirements, and improve overall plant reliability.

Above-Ground Storage Tank Design

Storage tanks are critical assets in many industrial operations. Our engineers provide above-ground storage tank design services in accordance with API 650 and API 620 requirements.

Services include shell design, roof design, bottom plate evaluation, foundation design, wind load assessment, seismic analysis, and structural attachment verification. By integrating operational requirements with applicable code provisions, we develop safe and cost-effective tank designs suitable for a wide variety of applications.

Pressure Vessel Design Services

Pressure vessels must be designed to withstand demanding operating conditions while maintaining strict compliance with applicable regulations. Little P.Eng. Engineering offers pressure vessel design services in accordance with ASME Section VIII Division 1 and Division 2.

Our expertise includes vessel sizing, thickness calculations, external pressure evaluations, nozzle reinforcement assessments, heat exchanger design support, and detailed engineering documentation. We also perform WRC 107 and WRC 537 analyses to evaluate local stresses resulting from piping loads applied to vessel nozzles.

CRN Registration Services

Manufacturers supplying pressure-retaining equipment to Canada must obtain Canadian Registration Numbers (CRNs) before installation. Our CRN registration services streamline the approval process by preparing technical submissions and coordinating with provincial regulatory authorities.

We assist clients with pressure vessel CRN registration, piping CRN registration, fitting registrations, and supporting calculations required by organizations such as ABSA and TSSA. Our experience helps minimize approval delays and facilitates successful project execution throughout Canada.

Discrete Element Modeling (DEM)

Discrete Element Modeling has become an invaluable tool for understanding the behavior of bulk materials. Little P.Eng. Engineering provides DEM simulation services to analyze particle interactions within industrial equipment.

Applications include hopper flow analysis, chute optimization, segregation studies, wear assessments, and conveyor transfer evaluations. DEM enables engineers to visualize material behavior, identify potential issues, and improve equipment performance before construction or modification activities begin.

Pipeline Rehabilitation and CIPP Liner Design

Aging infrastructure presents significant challenges for municipalities and industrial operators. Our pipeline rehabilitation engineering services focus on trenchless technologies that extend asset life while minimizing disruption.

We provide CIPP liner design services in accordance with ASTM F1216 requirements. Engineering evaluations consider soil loads, groundwater conditions, host pipe deterioration, and long-term performance criteria. Cured-in-place pipe systems offer a practical and cost-effective solution for restoring structural integrity to existing pipelines.

Finite Element Analysis and Nozzle Local Stress Evaluation

Complex pressure vessel geometries often require advanced analytical methods beyond traditional design approaches. Little P.Eng. Engineering performs finite element analysis services for ASME VIII-2 nozzle local stress analysis and design-by-analysis applications.

Our engineers evaluate nozzle loads, local stress concentrations, reinforced openings, and geometric discontinuities using sophisticated FEA techniques. NozzlePRO analysis and other advanced methodologies help ensure that pressure vessels can safely withstand operational demands while maintaining compliance with code requirements.
