Civil/Structural Engineering

Here at VITOK, we combine our knowledge and experience with our engineering expertise to design and build high-quality industrial plant facilities. Our clients experience the benefit of our Structural Engineers working together with the Mechanical and Process Engineers on the project. This “in-house” collaboration ensures that the various disciplines on the project are working in concert with one another, so you can be sure that the process and power equipment will be an appropriate fit, along with the proper building rating for the process or purpose of the design.

Our Structural Engineering design services include:

  • Building Design
  • 3D Scanning
  • Site Pavement Design
  • Site Layout
  • General Arrangement Layout
  • Structural Steel
  • Platforms/Mezzanines
  • Fall Protection
  • Foundations for Buildings, Equipment, and Utilities
  • Spill Containment
  • Underground Piping Systems
  • Concrete and Steel Floors
  • Concrete Structures
  • Modifications to Existing Structures
  • Supports for Ducts and Piping
  • Permitting Assistance

Tools we use for design:

  • RISA Structural Analysis and Design Software
  • AutoCAD
  • Plant 3D
  • Revit
  • Navisworks

Together, all of these services provide you everything you need to plan, design, permit, and construct your facility.

Safety & Engineering – Integrated

Safety Is Engineered In, Not Added On

At VITOK, safety isn’t a final checklist – it’s a design input. From the first feasibility conversation to construction assistance and start-up, our safety engineers work alongside our chemical engineering team at every stage. That means hazards are identified early, and relief systems are sized correctly from the start. and compliance is built into the process rather than retrofitted after the fact.

01

Hazard Identification

Safety engineers join feasibility and scoping discussions to identify process hazards, toxic release scenarios, and regulatory triggers before a single line is drawn.

02

Design Integration

PHA, HAZOP, and what-if analyses are conducted during conceptual design -not after- so findings shape the process rather than force expensive rework.

03

Detailed Safety Engineering

Relief systems, SIS. area classification, and containment are fully engineered in parallel with process and mechanical design, using shared models and P&IDs.

04

Commissioning & Beyond

We support pre-startup safety reviews (PSSRs), operator training input, and PSM documentation so your facility is compliant and ready to run safely from day one.

Pressure Relief System Design

Analysis of process relief scenarios and system design, including two-phase flow, piping analysis, acoustic-induced vibration, and flare system design.

Process Safety Management

Full PSM system development, process hazard analysis (PHA), HAZOP studies, and management of change documentation to keep your facility OSHA-compliant.

Process Flow & Instrumentation Diagrams

Detailed PFDs and P&IDs developed in coordination with chemical engineering design to accurately capture process intent and safety instrumentation.

Safety Instrumented Systems

SIS design and verification to IEC 61511, including safety requirement specifications, logic solver selection, and functional safety assessments.

Spill Containment Solutions

Secondary containment design for chemical storage and process areas, ensuring compliance with EPA, SPCC, and local environmental regulations.

Hazardous Area Design

Electrical area classification, equipment selection, and documentation for facilities handling flammable, combustible, or explosive materials.
