Since its beginnings, in 1989, Dynaflow Research Group (DRG) has been involved in shaping the landscape of fiberglass engineering through research, design engineering, and consultancy. Initially focusing on product design and engineering, DRG quickly expanded its offering to encompass project consulting and inspection services, catering to diverse stakeholders including owners, operators, EPC contractors, and suppliers.
Setting standards and driving innovation in fiberglass engineering
Throughout its history, DRG has been at the forefront of innovation in fiberglass technology. As a founding member of ISO 14692, the design standard for fiberglass pipes, DRG has played a pivotal role in shaping industry standards and best practices. Additionally, its involvement in EU R&D projects such as Geothermica highlights its commitment to advancing the frontiers of fiberglass research.
Moreover, DRG’s involvement in national and European committees on FRP reflects its dedication to setting and upholding industry standards. By actively participating in certification committees and standardization bodies, DRG ensures that fiberglass products meet rigorous quality benchmarks and adhere to stringent regulatory requirements.
Multifaceted approach to fiberglass consultancy
DRG’s multidisciplinary approach to fiberglass consultancy sets it apart in the industry. From pre-engineering and tender document writing to detailed engineering and installation support, DRG offers a comprehensive suite of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each project. Moreover, its expertise spans various domains including material qualification, stress and surge analysis, buried piping analysis, field supervision and route-cause analysis of failures.
In a complex landscape where fiberglass materials vary widely across suppliers, DRG’s third-party review and inspection services play a crucial role in ensuring quality and reliability. By scrutinizing raw materials, manufacturing methods, and design choices, DRG mitigates risks and safeguards against potential failures, thereby instilling confidence in fiberglass infrastructure.
In the event of failures in fiberglass infrastructure, DRG’s proficiency in root-cause analysis becomes evident. By meticulously investigating the underlying reasons behind failures and implementing targeted mitigation measures, DRG enhances the reliability and longevity of fiberglass systems, thereby minimizing operational disruptions and ensuring optimal performance.
DRG’s consultancy services extend beyond design and engineering to encompass operator training, project specification development, and operation and maintenance manual creation. By empowering operators with the knowledge and tools to effectively manage fiberglass infrastructure, DRG ensures the long-term viability and sustainability of fiberglass assets.
With a steadfast commitment to excellence and a forward-thinking approach, DRG continues to advance and redefine the boundaries of fiberglass engineering.
