We Help Solve Industrial Challenges
Equity takes a multi-disciplinary approach to solving your typical industry challenges. See below for how we can help solve three of the top challenges our clients experience.
Eliminate Knowledge Gaps
The energy industry is changing. Subject matter experts (SMEs) are retiring and fewer engineers are stepping in to fill those roles. The energy industry is quickly losing SME knowledge and industry best practices.
The Equity Engineering Practices (EEPs) solve this knowledge gap. The EEPs license corporate engineering standards that support safer facilities, using knowledge, results, and experience. Choose the industry’s most comprehensive and customizable corporate standards.
Minimize Unplanned Maintenance or Shutdown
Unexpected maintenance or equipment shutdowns can be expensive. You must get the equipment operating quickly to minimize production and revenue losses.
As a specialized central engineering team, Equity Engineering provides P.E./P.Eng stamped deliverables to resolve any unplanned maintenance or shutdown activity. Our practical and proactive recommendations will help you to minimize damage, prevent future failures, increase operating efficiencies, control inspection costs, and maximize reliability.
Achieve Effective Inspections
Many plants waste valuable resources on broad, inefficient inspection programs that fail to address critical risks. Or struggle to know how to design an effective inspection and asset management strategy.
CorrSolutions will help make your job easier. We combine artificial intelligence (AI) with your data to develop a new program or improve an existing program that will streamline inspection and maintenance activities at your plant. We deliver turn-key inspection and maintenance plans.
We Are Equity

With a foundation built on curiosity, creativity, and ingenuity, we’ve earned our reputation as problem solvers, delivering practical and actionable solutions that prioritize safety, reliability, and performance.
Today, we are Equity, a unified and forward-thinking company that is focused on meeting our clients’ changing needs. Equity delivers specialized consulting, training, and corporate standards and develops innovative technologies to help you maximize equipment availability, manage risk, and control costs.
We approach every challenge with a detective-like mindset, uncovering opportunities where others see obstacles and crafting purpose-fit solutions for our clients’ unique needs. We remain dedicated to building on our legacy of problem solving and supporting our clients through their toughest challenges.
Repair decisions in fixed equipment are only as good as the technical basis behind them, and assumptions that go unexamined have a way of surfacing later as failures, compliance gaps, or unnecessary cost. Thismonth, Industry Insights explores maintenance and repairs from multiple angles, with articles covering local PWHT simulation and weld residual stress, proposed new guidance for fillet-welded patch design, and afoundational introduction to the repair process for early-career engineers.Â

Local PWHT and Weld Residual Stress: A Case Study in Welding and PWHT Simulation
A local PWHT procedure that fully complies with WRC 452 does not guarantee the residual stress relief assumed in fitness-for-service assessments, and for equipment susceptible to environmental cracking, that gap can be the difference between a successful repair and a repeat failure. This case study presents a coupled welding and PWHT finite element simulation of a fractionator head repair, comparing local PWHT outcomes against furnace treatment and identifying ramp rate as the most powerful lever for improving stress relief.
New Guidance for the Design of Fillet-Welded Patches
The current ASME PCC-2 Article 212 guidance for fillet-welded patch repairs is known to be conservative, frequently driving patch plate thicknesses past the 1.5-inch threshold that triggers mandatory PWHT. This article presents Equity Engineering’s proposed T-min methodology, an FEA-validated alternative that eliminates unnecessary thickness penalties and reduces PWHT risk while remaining technically rigorous and grounded in ASME design-by-analysis principles.
Engineering 101: Run, Repair, or Replace? A Guide to Pressure Equipment Repair
Not every inspection finding requires physical repair, and not every repair that looks straightforward actually is. This article in our Engineering 101 series outlines the full pressure equipment repair process, from characterizing damage and identifying the governing codes to selecting the right method and closing out the work with proper documentation.
