Pressure Vessel Engineering - Our History

Laurence Brundrett, PEng, began Pressure Vessel Engineering Ltd.  in December 1999.  Since then the company has grown from a single employee to currently employing 8 people (Contact Us - Employee List). 

In the early years, the majority of the calculations were completed using custom spreadsheets.  As the technology has improved, PVEng has incorporated software such as APV, PVElite, CosmosDesigner, NozzlePro and Solidworks as well as continuing to develop spreadsheets to meet more specific needs. 

Since 1999, PVEng has designed more than 1000 pressure vessels and registered over 1200 CRNs, many in multiple provinces.  The vessels we have designed are for a wide variety of applications from food to pharmaceutical to oil to air and other gases.

While based in Waterloo, Ontario, PVEng has customers from all parts of the globe.  We pride ourselves in providing our clients with efficient and accurate service.
