Design software
CerPro currently utilizes extensive software in piping design. This includes AutoCAD 2007, CadWorx Plant 2007, CodeCALC 2007, and Solid Works 2007. These packages enable CerPro to construct complex facility projects, create as-built isometrics, design pressure vessel components, and facilitate our structural manufacturing department with comprehensive 3D models of caissons, platforms, supports etc. We also have Finite Element Stress Analysis capabilities which will assist us in the future construction of Pressure Vessels and Class “A”, “E” and “H” fittings.
