Engineering

Altamira’s engineering team designs and evaluates systems to applicable industry codes including ASME B31.4 for liquid pipelines, ASME B31.8 for gas pipelines, API standards for pressure vessels and storage tanks, AISC structural standards and applicable EPA and OSHA regulatory requirements. They stay current with code revisions and help clients understand the implications of changing standards.

Altamira’s integrated service model means their engineers collaborate directly with environmental scientists, regulatory compliance specialists and GIS professionals. This integration avoids the gaps and delays that occur when clients manage multiple specialized firms, ensuring that environmental constraints inform engineering design and compliance requirements are built into project plans from the start.

Engineering consultants develop pipeline route selection studies, perform hydraulic modeling, design piping systems to applicable codes such as ASME B31.4 and B31.8, prepare construction specifications, conduct pre-construction surveys and provide construction observation services. They ensure that pipeline systems are designed to operate safely within regulatory and operational requirements.

Independent engineering consultants provide objective technical expertise without the conflicts of interest that can arise when engineering and construction are bundled. They help owners verify design quality, manage project risk, ensure regulatory compliance and make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle. For complex energy projects, independent engineering oversight is often required by lenders and regulators.

Altamira provides multi-discipline engineering services including pipeline engineering, mechanical and process engineering, civil and structural engineering, environmental engineering, project management and facilities design. Their team serves clients across energy, chemical processing, utilities and industrial sectors with both greenfield design and brownfield modification projects.
