What Is the Purpose of a Design Verification Test?

Do your clients keep coming back to you with complaints about your project? If you need to find a way to better meet the needs of your customers, a design verification test may be exactly what you need. No matter what area of manufacturing you work in, from medical...

Pipe Stress Analysis: What It Is, and Why You Need It

Lockheed Martin has a total net worth of $99.52 billion dollars. It’s no coincidence that successful companies are also meticulous about safety. Osha studies have shown there’s a direct correlation between safety and profitability. Getting a pipe stress...

Your Pressure Vessel Fabricator Requirements

Here’s What Your Pressure Vessel Fabricator Needs to Have A pressure vessel fabricator is a necessary – but dangerous – piece of equipment. Find out what exactly your fabricator needs to have to be certified for work. A steamboat explosion in...

Engineering For the Rare But Dangerous Event

  In industrial settings we like to assume safety and smooth operations. But when workers are surrounded by complex machinery and assembly lines, that rare, dangerous and undesired event of an explosion has to be accounted for with utmost care. Our team at...

Lights and Action

If you have been to a night game, you expect great lighting so you can focus on the game at hand on the field. We may not think much of the lights but these powerful beams are supported on fixtures high up on poles and exposed to extreme wind loading. Meadows Analysis...

Watch Out for Big Cranes

We often see cranes as part of city skylines and construction jobs. The movement and hoisting capacity of these simple mechanical heavy machinery assemblies has to fit typically within engineering requirements for deflection and a space envelope. Our team at Meadows...

Supporting Our Engineering Projects

Jobs are not alway necessarily one and done. Our fabrication, assembly and implementation requires refinements, tweaks and ongoing support. We are onsite today improving some of the design aspects of the Panasonic videoboard at the Dallas Cowboys AT&T Stadium that...

Solving Custom Material Handling Engineering Problems

When you pass by those large fields of wind turbines generating energy in remote fields, think about how they were put together and placed in their resting locations. The assembly and fabrication process occurs with massive custom material handling equipment. The...

Engineering Efficiencies and Turnarounds

In the 3D solid model renderings above you can see a 48″ O.D. X 15′-0″ Oil Field Test Separator assembly.  Test separators are used in the oil field to process raw material pulled from the ground.  By applying heat and pressure, the raw material is...

Oilfield Base Beam Engineering Analysis

  Oilfield equipment involves heavy machinery, structures and many failure point opportunities. The setup has a lot of uniformity for job sites, but they require engineering work to analyze and safety check the various structures. The large towers that have to...
