About PVEng

Celebrating 25+ Years!

For an engineering firm to succeed over decades requires excellent customer service, expertise and an attention to detail. We have helped companies navigate the CRN system, registering thousands of vessels, boilers, heat exchangers, fittings, piping systems and other components that don’t fall neatly into any CRN categories.  PVEng gets you through the process efficiently and effectively.

Celebrating 25+ Years!

Pressure Vessel Engineering has been helping companies obtain CRN registrations and validating non-CRN pressure equipment designs for over twenty-five years. We have relationships with the registrars across Canada to understand how to make the process go as smoothly as possible for them and for our customers. We have registered thousands of vessels, boilers, heat exchangers, fittings, piping systems and other components that don’t fall neatly into any categories.  In addition to registration projects, PVEng has also worked with companies to validate designs outside of the CRN system including high rise building piping, high pressure cyclic designs, breech lock closures and many others.

In addition to registration projects, PVEng also validates designs outside of the CRN system including high rise building piping, high pressure cyclic designs, breech lock closures and many others. PVEng offers design services for all types of mechanical equipment using calculations, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for fatigue, strain, buckling, seismic and thermal analysis as well as fluid dynamics and pipe stress analysis.

Thank you to our many customers because delivering your projects also helps us develop deeper and broader expertise.  We are now involved with more than just CRN registration and will continue to develop and learn new skills as we evolve. Our mission is “To provide high quality engineering solutions that help businesses thrive”.

Pressure Vessel Engineering wouldn’t be where we are today without the people who made us who we are. We have a great team, and they are our greatest strength. Supporting this team and helping our people grow is our biggest success.

We look forward to working with you on your projects for the next 25 years and beyond!

Thank you,

The PVEng Team

Giving Back

We have been fortunate to be successful and we are giving back to the community we are a part of.  We are proud to support these organizations:

Nutrition for Learning is a non-profit organization in our region. This organization has helped 100,000 students across Waterloo Region have access to fresh produce, proteins, and whole grains through school nutrition programs. They also help support 180 schools in the region, with over 2 million meals provided each year!

If you want to know more about their organization, please go to https://www.nutritionforlearning.ca/

 

Food4Kids is an organization that helps over 1,400 kids from 131 schools across Waterloo Region focus on school by supporting them with the fuel they need to learn.  They provide healthy food packages for children ages 1-14 from food insecure homes during weekdays, weekends and school breaks.  They help keep children nourished and ready to grow, whether they’re at school or at home.

If you want to know more about their organization, please go to https://food4kidswr.ca/

 

For more than 40 years, The Food Bank of Waterloo Region has been dedicated to ensuring everyone in our community has access to nourishing food. In the past year alone, they’ve distributed 9.6 million pounds of food—helping to ensure people have the food they need, when they need it most. And with the support of our generous community, ’ll keep working toward a future where no one goes hungry.

Design and Registration Services at PVEng

ASME Code Design – We work to many ASME standards to design and validate pressure vessels, boiler, fittings and piping systems.

  • Compress, PV Elite, DesignCalcs and our own in-house software
  • ASME VIII-1, VIII-2, I, IV, B31.1, B31.3, B31.5

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) – We use FEA to design and validate fittings and vessels that cannot be designed by rule-based codes like VIII-1 or B31.3.

  • Pressure, thermal, wind and seismic load analysis
  • Permissible service life (fatigue life)

Pipe Stress Analysis – Pipe stress analysis is mandatory for British Columbia registration and it is recommended practice for many other systems.

  • Caesar II pipe stress analysis
  • Analysis to many piping codes including B31.1 and B31.5

Canadian Registration Number (CRN) – We are Canada’s largest independent registrar of fittings, vessels and piping under the CRN program registering for more than a thousand customers.

  • Design, review and registration with P.E. / P. Eng. stamping for all provinces
  • Specific knowledge of what needs registration and what is exempt by province
