Structural Stability Assessment and Certification
The anchor engagement is a crane stress analysis by finite-element method at Aditya Birla Hindalco Dahej. Assessment and certification run against AISC 360 for structural steel, API 650 and API 620 for tanks, and ASME B31.1 and B31.3 for piping.

Overview
TCR Engineering, a NABL ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory (NABLT0726MH18640) in Navi Mumbai, assesses and certifies the structural stability of industrial structures, chimneys, stacks, equipment supports and plant buildings, applying ASME B31.1 and B31.3, API 650 and API 620, and AISC 360, with theodolite-based plumbness and straightness measurement.
Overview
Reference project: FEA stress analysis of crane structures at Aditya Birla Hindalco, Dahej. Structural audits under Maharashtra Clause 77 are delivered through TCR's Civil and Infrastructure practice.
- Reference project: finite-element stress analysis of crane structures at Aditya Birla Hindalco, Dahej.
- Piping codes: ASME B31.1 for power piping and ASME B31.3 for process piping.
- Tank codes: API 650 and API 620.
- Structural steel: AISC 360.
- Delivered elsewhere: structural audits under Maharashtra Clause 77 run through TCR's Civil and Infrastructure practice.
Standards: ASME B31.1 (power piping), ASME B31.3 (process piping), API 650 and API 620 (storage tanks), and AISC 360 (structural steel).
What structural stability assessment covers
TCR assesses and certifies the stability of industrial structures, chimneys, stacks, equipment supports, and plant buildings.
- Structures assessed and certified: industrial structures, chimneys, stacks, equipment supports and plant buildings.
- Supporting measurement: theodolite-based plumbness and straightness on chimneys, stacks, towers and tall building cores.
- Output: a verticality deviation report against IS 4998 Part 1, IS 11960 and IS 875 Part 3 wind-load implications.
Theodolite-based plumbness and straightness measurement supports this work. On chimneys, stacks, towers, and tall building cores it returns a verticality deviation report against IS 4998 Part 1, IS 11960, and IS 875 Part 3 wind-load implications.
The governing standards
Structural stability work is delivered against the piping, tank, structural-steel, and industrial-chimney codes below.

Frequently asked questions
What structures does TCR assess for stability?
Industrial structures, chimneys, stacks, equipment supports, and plant buildings.
How does TCR measure verticality of chimneys and stacks?
Through theodolite-based plumbness and straightness measurement, with the output a verticality deviation report against IS 4998 Part 1, IS 11960, and IS 875 Part 3 wind-load implications.
Which standards govern structural stability assessment?
ASME B31.1 and B31.3 for piping, API 650 and API 620 for storage tanks, and AISC 360 for structural steel.
Is structural audit under Maharashtra Clause 77 part of this service?
The structural audit under Maharashtra Clause 77 is delivered through TCR's Civil and Infrastructure practice, which cross-references the structural stability work.
