We know this work, so the tools fit it.
Twelve years of pressure equipment, enclosures, skids and heavy lift — long enough to know which parts get done by hand on every single job. Those are the parts we build tools for. Your engineers keep the decisions; the tool keeps the record, and plugs into the workflow it belongs to.
Where we build tools
01Four domains we have actually worked in. Each one hides the same problem: a sizing sheet, a checklist and a document set rebuilt by hand every job. That is what gets tooled. The first has a page of its own; the rest are open for enquiry, and grow as the work does.
Data centre enclosures & containment
Aisle containment, containerised halls, e-houses and BOP skids. The sizing, the layout checks and the handover dossier repeat on every single job — so they are built once, as tools your team runs.
ASHRAE TC 9.9 · TIA-942 · EN 50600 · ISO 1496 Open 02Pressure equipment & heat transfer
Vessels, columns, shell-and-tube and air-cooled exchangers, storage tanks. Code calculation sheets, drawing registers and the dossier your client signs — consistent every time, with the working kept.
ASME VIII Div 1 & 2 · TEMA · API 650 / 660 · PED Enquire 03Compact skids & accessory modules
Utility and dosing skids, pump and interface units, control cabins — the small packages a plant needs many of, where the same take-off and the same document set come round on every unit. Ideal ground for a tool: build it once, run it on all of them.
ASME B31.3 · ISO 1496 · AISC 360 · IEC 61439 Enquire 04Structures, handling & heavy lift
Support steel, platforms and access, lifting and rigging, route surveys and lashing for loads that will not fit on an ordinary trailer — the repeated checks and study sheets that today live in one person’s spreadsheet.
EN 1993 · ASCE 7 · DNV 2.7-1 · IMO CSS EnquireHow a tool gets built
02We start from what you already do, not from a blank page. Your spreadsheet is the specification.
Each tool stands on its own, and each one is a block. Build a few and they join up into the workflow the firm actually runs on — which is where ZbFlow Eng takes over. You get the calculation file, not just its conclusion: if a number changes later, you can see what it was and who changed it.
The tools themselves
03Calculation & design
- Sizing and code-check sheets — ASME, API, EN
- Your own spreadsheet, rebuilt as a tool the whole team can use
- Every revision kept — what changed, who changed it
- Model and layout review checklists
- One set of inputs, every downstream sheet updated
Estimating & commercial
- Estimate build-up — hours, materials, margin
- Quotation straight from the estimate, nothing retyped
- Variation orders, including the work you did not charge for
- Supplier enquiries and comparison
- Cost and price kept apart, so neither leaks
Risk & safety records
- Machine risk assessments — ISO 12100, OSHA, IEC
- HAZOP actions tracked through to close-out
- SIL / PL worksheets and validation records
- Findings that become actions, not a PDF in a folder
Logistics & delivery
- Route, access and heavy-lift study sheets
- Lifting, rigging and lashing calculations
- Packing lists and shipping document sets
- Delivery sequencing tied back to the job
Some of these run today; some are on the build list. Each says which, because a tool that does not exist yet is not a feature. None of them is limited to this trade — a firm of any kind with the same spreadsheets and the same paperwork gets the same tool.
