LinkedInENGINEERING
Cronus Technology, Inc. (CTI) provides engineering services for all phases of a project, including design, drafting, fabrication, testing, and installation. CTI supports a variety of projects, including large-diameter export pipelines, shallow water tie-ins, including spools and fixed and non-fixed risers, ultra-deep-water subsea umbilicals, flowlines (SURF) developments, and onshore transmission pipelines.
Our engineers hold degrees in civil, mechanical, structural, geotechnical, and ocean engineering. The diversity in talent ensures CTI can address the challenges presented by today’s energy industry. We place great value on working as a team and applying individual strengths to create designs and solutions with an unmatched level of quality.
Our experience and success are evidence of our determination to provide effective solutions. While our capabilities are always expanding and evolving, CTI ensures our engineers provide quality work to guarantee client satisfaction. Our quality engineering services include:
Pipeline Engineering
Pipeline Engineering
CTI provides sound and cost-effective pipeline engineering services that meet or exceed the applicable government regulations, industry standards, codes, and client specifications. Our Pipeline engineering services include:
- Material Selection
- Wall Thickness Design and OBS Analysis
- Cathodic Protection Design
- Route Selection and Optimization
- Pipe-Soil Interaction Analysis
- Subsea Pipeline Span Analysis
- Pipeline and Cable Crossing Design
- Pipeline Expansion and Buckling Analysis
SURF Engineering
SURF Engineering
CTI provides subsea field development services, including analysis, package management and offshore installation support for subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines (SURF).
Advanced Analysis
CTI routinely performs finite element analysis using tools, such as Abaqus, OrcaFlex, and SAGE Profile, to perform strength and fatigue analyses for challenging subsea projects.
Installation Engineering
From Southeast Asia to South America, from the North Sea to the Gulf of Mexico, CTI has overseen installations around the world. We provide engineering services to support these installations, which include the following:
- Static and Dynamic Pipe Lay
- Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) Installation and Hand-Over
- Flexible Riser and Umbilical Pull-in Analysis
- Pipeline Repair System Design/Analysis
- Structure Deployment
- Rigid and Flexible Jumper Deployment
- Repair Design/Analysis
Our teams work with our clients to develop a basis for designs and prepare technical specifications that define the expectations for the design work. We coordinate and support geophysical and geotechnical surveys, as well as metocean data collection of the project site. We also interface with the client’s operations team to create a field development plan which achieves the intended objective, considering existing and future field assets.
ENGINEERING IMPLEMENTS
Software is a vital part of developing effective solutions to today’s engineering challenges. Our team has access to leading industry software packages developed specifically for the design of pipelines and risers. In addition, we develop our own worksheets to perform standard code calculations for pre- and post-process evaluations.
