Structural Analysis

ENGINEERING SERVICES

At Meca Enterprises, we provide structural engineering services for critical equipment used across a wide range of industrial, energy, and process facilities. From natural gas and renewable fuels to hydrogen, chemical processing, and manufacturing plants, we support the structural integrity of essential systems such as stacks, air-cooled heat exchangers, pipe racks, modular skids, modular steel buildings, and more.

Our expertise in steel design, connection detailing, and code-compliant structural analysis enables us to deliver stamped, optimized solutions for equipment suppliers, fabricators, and engineering partners throughout the U.S., Canada, and internationally. We utilize advanced analysis methods, including finite element analysis (FEA), when appropriate to meet project demands.

What We Engineer

We provide structural analysis, design optimization, and PE-stamped deliverables for:

  • Steel Stacks and Flare Structures Analysis of vertical self-supported, guyed, and derrick-supported stacks under wind, seismic, thermal, and process loads
  • Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers (ACHEs) Structural design and evaluation of ACHE support frames for use in energy, process, and cooling applications
  • Pipe Racks Structural framing for modular or field-installed piping systems in energy, chemical, hydrogen, and industrial facilities
  • Modular Skid Frames Steel skid structures supporting packaged equipment for processing, pumping, power distribution, and more
  • Equipment Foundations Design and anchorage checks for stacks, skids, heat exchangers, pumps, vessels, and structural systems
  • Modular Steel Buildings Structural engineering of custom modular enclosures and equipment buildings, including framing, bracing, and foundations
  • Review of Tanks and Pressure Vessels Structural support and foundation design review for vertical and horizontal vessels, ASME-rated equipment, and tank farms

Our deliverables are stamped/sealed by a Professional Engineer (PE) where required and prepared in full compliance with applicable codes. We also assist clients when their in-house designs require validation or need to be optimized to meet code requirements.

Who We Serve

  • Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Fabricators
    Designing and delivering OEM systems such as stacks, exchangers, skids, vessels, and modular buildings
  • Engineering, Procurement, & Construction (EPC) Firms
    Seeking structural engineering partners for design reviews, code compliance, and PE-stamped submittals
  • Facility Owners and Operators
    Requiring structural analysis and foundations for new systems or retrofits across industrial sites

Our clients span the industrial energy sector, including natural gas, hydrogen, renewable fuels, power generation, chemical manufacturing, and related industries.
