At GWE, we specialise in the engineering and analysis of piping systems that are safe, efficient, and
compliant with both Australian and international codes. Our team supports clients across oil & gas,
mining, power, chemical, and manufacturing sectors by delivering designs that balance technical
precision with practical constructability.
We create piping layouts that prioritise operability, maintainability, and long-term service life. To
validate system performance, we conduct advanced stress assessments using CAESAR II, considering the
effects of temperature fluctuations, internal pressure, deadweight, wind, seismic activity, and connected
equipment. This ensures that risks such as excessive deflection, overstress, or nozzle overload are
identified and mitigated before they can impact operations.
Our scope extends from conceptual routing and material selection through to support and restraint
design, equipment interface checks, and full regulatory compliance with standards including ASME
B31.3, B31.1, and AS 4041.
