Since last summer Dhatec has<br />
become a Vacuworx official partner.<br />
The companies started collaborating to<br />
provide service to clients with solutions<br />
for handling of pipes. Vacuum lifting<br />
systems are an addition to Dhatec’s<br />
product range for safe and efficient<br />
delivery of pipes.<br />
The Pipe Lifter Systems produced by<br />
the in-field vacuum lifting specialist<br />
safely and effectively handle heavy<br />
sections of pipes.<br />
The equipment can move stock off the<br />
truck and into the trench in seconds.<br />
As both parties value safety for<br />
personnel, material and equipment,<br />
risk management is part of their daily<br />
work. Dhatec employees have been<br />
trained to provide advice for purchase<br />
and rental of Vacuworx equipment, and<br />
also for providing service in the field.<br />
Vacuum lifters and spare parts can<br />
be directly supplied from stock from<br />
Dhatec’s head office in the Netherlands.<br />

Software for<br />
pipe stress<br />
analysis<br />
Intergraph has released Caesar II<br />
Nuclear, a new version of the software<br />
for pipe stress analysis that has<br />
been through a Commercial Grade<br />
Dedication (CGD) process. The software<br />
now complies with American Society<br />
of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)<br />
NQA-1 2008/09 quality assurance (QA)<br />
standards required for nuclear facility<br />
design as endorsed by the Nuclear<br />
Regulatory Commission (NRC) for<br />
use in reactors, material, waste and<br />
security.<br />
ASME NQA-1 is recognised as a rigorous<br />
safety standard for nuclear applications,<br />
focused on preventing defects before<br />
release. The new Caesar II Nuclear<br />
software has additional features that<br />
allow for its direct adoption in the<br />
nuclear sector for new facilities.<br />
