FIBERGLASS & NONMETALLIC MATERIALS ENGINEERING
ECCI is a leading expert in the design, specification and use of fiberglass materials and specialty coatings for handling hazardous and difficult substances in industrial processes both for new vessels, and to extend the useful life of existing vessels. ECCI engineers have repeatedly been called upon to perform field failure diagnosis of vessels and piping, and to develop modifications or specifications for repairs or replacements which are better suited to the unique stresses of critical process equipment. From failure diagnosis, to mechanical integrity assess-ment, to specification of modifications or replacement equipment, and through field construction manage-ment and construction QA/QC, ECCI engineers fit projects into facility process schedules to minimize costs and lost production.
