|---|---|
| Dates | End of 2019 – September 2020 |
| Scope | The project included calculation and manufacture of vertical vessels of the VEE or VEP type (GOST 9931-85) (20 units). All vessels are of the same type, but of different sizes. |
| Project Specific | Carrying out certification of vessels for the EAEU countries (Russia), according to the new codes (GOST 34347 instead of GOST R 52630) – strength calculation strictly as per GOST is required. Previously it was carried out according to EN 13445. |

PASS/EQUIP Vessel calculation technologies and the product functionality helped to execute the project on time, in spite of the fact that the specialists did not have any experience in calculating as per GOST. |
| Results | All vessels were analyzed, manufactured and certified on time, and delivered to the customer. |
