Skid Piping
+
Piping Systems — ASME B31.3
Piping Engineering

ASME B31.3 piping design for industrial skids, process plants, and EPC packages. I deliver complete piping layouts, stress support, isometrics, and fabrication spools ready for the shop floor.

Nozzle Engineering — FEA-Ready Geometry
Nozzle Engineering & FEA Support

Nozzle load evaluation and FEA-ready geometry preparation for pressure equipment. I prepare STEP models ready for stress simulation, evaluate local loads, and document all reinforcement checks to code.

Fabrication Drawings & Documentation
Design, Drafting & Documentation

Complete fabrication-ready drawing packages from 3D model to 2D shop drawing. Every package I deliver is clear enough that the fabrication shop needs zero clarification — zero RFIs is the standard I hold myself to.

About
One engineer. Fast delivery. Real value.
Davide Ferrario

I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in Energy, and I have spent the last ten years working exclusively in pressure vessel and piping engineering — first inside large EPC environments, then as an independent subcontract engineer for companies across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.

I built this practice on a simple idea: most fabrication shops and EPC teams do not need a big consultancy. They need one engineer who knows what they are doing, delivers fast, and does not charge for unnecessary overhead. That is exactly what I offer.

My turnaround times are genuinely fast — the kind of fast that has saved project schedules more than once. My rates reflect the fact that I am a single-person operation with no middle layer. And every package I deliver, I sign off on personally.
