Engineering Design Services attended the IAAPA (International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions) Expo in Orlando, Florida, where industry leaders, technology innovators, and attractions professionals gathered to explore the latest developments shaping themed entertainment and destination experiences. The event provided valuable insight into emerging technologies, evolving guest expectations, and the growing role of engineering in delivering immersive environments

Modular design has become an increasingly popular strategy in industrial projects. By designing systems, equipment, or entire process units in standardized modules that can be fabricated offsite and then assembled onsite, organizations can streamline construction, improve quality, and reduce risk. Whether applied to manufacturing plants, energy facilities, data centers, or processing units, modularization offers tangible advantages that extend well beyond simple construction

Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs) and Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) are among the most critical safeguards in petrochemical and industrial facilities. They serve as the final line of defense against overpressure events that can lead to equipment damage, environmental releases, or catastrophic incidents.

Integrated engineering brings multiple engineering disciplines together under a unified strategy, allowing teams to collaborate efficiently from concept through construction and into operations.

At Engineering Design Services, we believe the future of engineering begins with hands-on experience and real-world exposure to the tools shaping today's projects. Recently, our Little Rock, Arkansas team visited Ouachita Baptist University to introduce students and faculty to laser scanning technology and demonstrate how it's being used across a wide range of industries throughout Arkansas. During the visit, participants experienced the full laser-scanning process firsthand,

3D scanning via drone changes how engineers, owners, and operators capture accurate, real-world data safely and efficiently.

As commercial space launch activity has increased, regulatory frameworks in the United States have evolved to better align with higher launch frequency, reusable vehicles, and diversified mission profiles.

Drone technology has become an essential tool in modern engineering consulting, transforming how inspections and site assessments are performed across industrial, energy, and infrastructure projects. By providing safe access to difficult-to-reach areas and delivering high-quality visual data, drones allow engineers to evaluate assets more efficiently while reducing risk and project disruption. One of the most impactful benefits of drone-based inspections is improved safety. T

Three questions with the President of Engineering Design Services. In this short video, Michael Hall, the President of Engineering Design Services answers three questions that reflect the values and leadership behind the firm. The conversation touches on why EDS was created, how leadership stays connected across multiple offices, and what matters most when working with clients. EDS was founded with the goal of building an engineering consulting firm that prioritizes technical

Several of our engineers share their perspectives on what drew them to the engineering field, how they view emerging technologies in the industry, and what they like best about working at Engineering Design Services.

The role of engineering consulting in the oil and gas industry and the close coordination across engineering disciplines to be successful.

Oil and gas facilities operate some of the most demanding piping systems in the industrial sector. High temperatures, elevated pressures, cyclic operation, and constrained plot space place significant role in maintaining safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. Piping Stress Engineer Analysis for Oil & Gas Applications Pipe stress analysis evaluates how piping systems respond to sustained, thermal, and occasional lo
