Anna Gentry
Engineer

Anna Gentry's experience includes Pipe Stress Analyses of new construction process piping. This involved the utilization of 3-D modeling software to evaluate the stresses and loads experienced by systems of piping and any associated vessels and/or equipment. The equipment included pumps, strainers, air coolers, as well as various types of heat exchangers. The analyses were performed in tandem with piping design and pipe support design to ensure the system functioned properly and complied with the applicable standards.

Ms. Gentry has experience performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA). She most recently worked on modeling and analyzing nozzles and associated vessel shells. The FEA results were then incorporated back into the Pipe Stress calculations and analyses.

Previously, Ms. Gentry also worked as a field engineer; supporting the onsite supervision involved in the construction of five full containment LNG storage tanks in Port Arthur, TX. This work included: layout, as-builds (for both monitoring and reporting purposes), and surveying. During the project, the job-site was submerged in the category 4 storm surge generated by Hurricane Ike. In the aftermath, Ms. Gentry was involved in damage assessment, material inspection (for chlorides, microbial attack, etc), and recovery efforts.
