Aerial Services
Engineering Design Services LLC employs technology such as the DJI Matrice 300 RTK. With a one hour flight time, thermal imaging camera and 23x optical zoom camera, we can help capture your projects in a way that helps you operate more efficiently. All our pilots are FAA certified.
Hot Spot Detection
Make sure your process is running smoothly by inspecting your equipment for burn through and hot spots. Our drones have an integrated radiometric thermal imaging camera capable of capturing the sharpest of images.
Insulation Inspection
Make sure your insulation is performing the way it should be. Our drone mounted thermal imaging capabilities allow you to quickly look for areas where your insulation may be failing.
Drone Based Laser Scanning
Turn a multi-day field walk into a couple days working from the office by implementing the use of drone based laser scanning for your next project. In less than a day, an entire unit can be scanned, processed and uploaded to allow for remote “field walks” – eliminating the need for large amounts of personnel in the field and therefore reducing the potential for injury.
Startup Advising
Starting a new company with a new product has enough challenges, so why stress putting together an all-star engineering team too? EDS offers the ability to offload your engineering requirements to an experienced and professional staff that has worked in the startup industry. Whether it’s designing consumer product enclosures, printed circuit boards or full-scale multidisciplinary work, EDS can help. Our staff has worked on robotics, plastic extrusion, home automation and more.

Fitness For Service - API 579
Fitness for Service (FFS) is a standard used in the petrochemical industry that is applied to in-service equipment in order to determine its ability to continue in service.
Why should we use it?
Fitness for Service has the potential to save clients hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. This is because FFS has the potential to show that existing equipment can continue service in conditions that may have previously been thought to necessitate a shutdown.
So what's involved?
Fitness for Service, as governed by API-579, is broken down into fourteen (14) parts and three (3) levels. Each part, after Part 1 (Introduction) and Part 2 (Procedure), relates to a type of damage. For example, Part 3 is Assessment of Existing Equipment for Brittle Fracture and Part 11 is Assessment of Fire Damage.
There are three levels to Fitness for Service. As the level increases, the complexity and information required via inspection increases while the level of conservatism decreases.
-
Level 1 – A level 1 assessment uses a combination of screening curves, tables and a few computations. It is quicker and more conservative than the next two levels.
-
Level 2 – A level 2 assessment is less conservative than a level 1 assessment. The amount of time required can be substantial and the computations performed start to become complex. This level sometimes requires the use of specialized software.
-
Level 3 – A level 3 assessment typically involves the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to model and replicate the loading scenarios found in the field. It is the least conservative and most complex component to FFS.
Engineering Design Services LLC can provide support for any level of analysis needed. Do you have a piece of equipment that may need an analysis performed? Reach out to speak with one of our Fitness for Service Consultants!

Pulp & Paper
Engineering Design Services provides engineering and consulting support for a wide range of pulp and
paper manufacturers. We have experience with virgin kraft mills, recycle mills, and converting mills.
Most of the nation’s pulp and paper mills are aging, which brings the question “How do we effectively
combat this?”. Our support deals directly with risk-based inspections and risk analysis in accordance
with accepted codes/standards for existing mill assets (tanks, pressure vessels, piping, etc.). For those
with damage we often assist in: determining how effectively they can be repaired or replaced,
formalizing repair and replacement plans, and performing quality verification for the work performed.
