Static Equipment & ASME Pressure Vessels

Discipline Overview

Mechanical Design & Workshop Fabrication Detailing

COREX Engineering provides specialized mechanical design and workshop detailing for heavy static equipment utilized in oil refining, chemical synthesis, fertilizers, cryogenic storage, and offshore installations. Our mechanical engineers have extensive experience designing pressure vessels, columns, reactors, shell and tube heat exchangers, and storage tanks strictly to ASME Section VIII Div 1 & Div 2 and TEMA standards.

From initial design calculations in PV Elite to full workshop fabrication general arrangement drawings, nozzle orientation plans, and weld development sheets, we deliver complete manufacturing-ready engineering packages.

Key Technical Deliverables
