Fiberglass Design and Engineering Services

FSE^®is the leading expert in FRP/GRP engineering and design. We pioneered many analysis methods and techniques which have now become common and adopted by standards and codes. Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic and Glass Reinforced Plastic require experienced engineers. FSE provides Engineering Analysis, Material Selection, Feasibility Studies, Corporate Standards and more.

We have an in-house testing facility in our Bellingham, Washington facilities designed to simulate operation by applying temperature and pressure changes. When more sophisticated testing is required, FSE^® provides a combination of analytical modeling and non-destructive and destructive laboratory tests to ensure a meaningful evaluation.

Quality Assurance (QA) Inspection Services

After you have your project designed, FSE^® will ensure that your project is built to the project specifications. FSE^® will do everything from Pre-job alignment meetings to review specifications, drawings, equipment and tooling prior to fabrication to the final inspection and everything in between.  We do field and shop inspection of the fiberglass assembly. Click the link below to learn more about how our Quality Assurance program will ensure that design requirements are satisfied during fabrication and that an appropriate level of quality is produced throughout fabrication and installation.

Preventive Maintenance (PM) Inspection Services

Our experts identify critical defects, and trend rates of degradation over time through inspections performed while the equipment or piping is in operation or during scheduled shutdowns. Our Preventive Maintenance Program saves clients money by predicting future repairs. We use the latest non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques with traditional visual inspection of FRP piping and joint systems to enable detection of serious defects. This assists planning of maintenance budgets and to prevent unplanned outages caused by unexpected failures.

Integrated services are the cornerstone of FSE’s success. The added value of integrating lessons learned from preventive maintenance has elevated FSE’s integrated services to the highest levels. Click here to learn more about these highly sought after services.
