About
Detail-oriented Mechanical Engineering graduate with structured exposure to piping engineering, pipe stress analysis, and structural mechanics. Proficient in executing static stress evaluations using CAESAR II under sustained, thermal, and occasional loading conditions in alignment with ASME B31.3 and ASME B31.1 standards. Skilled in pipe support modeling, pressure vessel analysis (PV Elite), and 3D CAD modeling (SolidWorks).
Possesses strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities, with a proven track record of collaborating efficiently in multidisciplinary teams to ensure safety, regulatory compliance, and system integrity.
Experience
Industrial Training (SIWES) — Mechanical Systems & Piping - Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) - Port Harcourt, Nigeria
- Utilized CAESAR II to perform static pipe stress analysis, evaluating system flexibility and ensuring code compliance under various operational design envelopes.
- Modeled piping systems incorporating critical components such as valves, flanges, reducers, and custom pipe supports to accurately simulate physical constraints.
- Analyzed piping system behavior under sustained, thermal expansion, and occasional load cases to optimize routing and minimize terminal nozzle displacements.
- Reviewed and interpreted piping layouts, general arrangement drawings, and piping isometric diagrams to verify layout constructability and structural integrity.
- Collaborated with multidisciplinary engineering teams to optimize pipe support configurations, selecting rigid, guide, and spring hanger arrangements where required.
- Applied foundational principles of ASME B31.3 to evaluate compliance across modeled piping configurations, focusing on safety and risk mitigation.
- Conducted routine structural safety reviews and monitored facility mechanical systems, ensuring strict adherence to Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) protocols.
