Case Study: Gulf Marine Maintenance & Offshore Service Company LLC achieves safer pressure vessel fabrication with Hexagon PV Elite

GMMOS Succeeds on Vessel Fabrication Project in UAE with PV Elite®

Gulf Marine Maintenance & Offshore Service Company LLC (GMMOS), a fabrication company serving the oil and gas industry, faced a challenge designing and fabricating 31 large, low-pressure vessels for a gas field project. The vessels, some as wide as 6 meters, required precise engineering to ensure they had sufficient structural stability for operation and hydro-testing while adhering to ASME standards. To overcome this, they turned to Hexagon's PV Elite® software.

Using Hexagon's PV Elite®, GMMOS efficiently performed accurate mechanical design calculations. The software provided critical input options for saddle support design, which was vital for the project's large vessels with high diameter-to-thickness ratios. This solution enabled GMMOS to complete the required calculations faster and more precisely, ensuring all project requirements and quality standards were met and helping to secure a good reference from the client for future work.
