- Notable Engineers: Figures like Dr. Haresh C. Shah (Stanford, seismic expert) or ASME’s piping committee members (e.g., at Fluor/Bechtel) use CAESAR II extensively. In 2025 interviews, they share experiences from projects like post-2024 Turkey earthquakes, where seismic tools saved lives via resilient designs. On sustainability, engineers at Ramboll/AECOM (e.g., ESG leads) discuss CSRD’s “data overload” but praise LCA for quantifiable impacts, like 40% lower emissions in green piping.

- Experience: In 2025 LNG projects (e.g., Qatar expansion), Fluor integrated CAESAR II for stress/seismic analysis, achieving 25% emission reductions via LCA-optimized composites. CSRD compliance streamlined EU audits, but data integration challenges delayed reporting by 2-3 months.
- Quote: Constable (2025 Fortune interview): “Sustainability in piping isn’t an add-on—it’s predictive engineering. Our seismic designs now embed ESG from inception, balancing safety with net-zero goals to cut lifecycle costs by 20%.” (On pipe stress/seismic in sustainable contexts).
Bechtel Corporation (Family-owned by Bechtel family; CEO: Brendan Bechtel)
- Experience: On 2025 California refinery upgrades, ROHR2/ETABS handled seismic loads in Zone D, with ESG audits via Enablon reducing material waste by 15%. Brendan Bechtel, a 5th-generation leader, emphasizes seismic resilience in green builds.
- Quote: Brendan Bechtel (2025 Humans of Globe interview): “Seismic designs must incorporate ESG from day one—our piping stress modeling ensures net-zero transitions without compromising earthquake safety, turning risks into resilient opportunities.” (Linking seismic/stress to ESG/CSRD).
Worley (CEO: Chris Ashton)
- Experience: Australian offshore projects (2024-2025) used CAESAR II for subsea stress, with open LCA cutting emissions 30% via bio-based linings. CSRD disclosures supported ESG goals, but supply chain data gaps posed challenges.

- Quote: Gilmartin (2025 LinkedIn/Sky News): “ESG is embedded in every stress calculation—seismic designs via LCA ensure climate-adaptive pipelines, reducing carbon by 25% while meeting CSRD mandates.” (From FY2023 results reflection).
TechnipFMC (CEO: Arnaud Pieton)
- Experience: Gulf deepwater projects (2025) used CAESAR II for riser stress, with IBM Envizi for ESG/LCA supporting 20% emission cuts. CSRD integration via SpheraCloud streamlined reporting.
- Quote: Pieton (2025 press release): “In subsea piping, seismic stress analysis drives ESG compliance—our LCA tools under CSRD ensure sustainable innovations, like 20% lower lifecycle emissions.” (On integrated EPCI contracts).
Ramboll Group (Employee-owned; CEO: Claus Q. Petersen)
- Experience: Green hydrogen piping (2025) used SimaPro for LCA, reducing impacts 35%; stress/seismic ensured durability under CSRD. Petersen notes CSRD’s “transparency edge.”
- Quote: Petersen (2025 Ramboll report): “CSRD forces transparency in piping sustainability—our seismic/LCA designs turn regulations into competitive advantages for net-zero infrastructure.” (On EU projects).
AECOM (CEO: Troy Rudd)
- Experience: Urban water projects (2025) integrated seismic-resilient piping with GaBi LCA, cutting emissions via ESG audits. Rudd emphasizes “seamless interoperability” for CSRD.
- Quote: Rudd (2025 AECOM ESG report): “Piping seismic designs with ESG/LCA are key to CSRD success—our tools ensure urban systems are resilient and low-carbon from the start.” (From sustainability update).
Stantec (CEO: Gord Johnston)
- Experience: Renewable transitions (2025) featured stress analysis for flexible piping; seismic in Canadian projects; LCA for net-zero. Johnston highlights “forward-thinking tools.”
- Quote: Johnston (2025 Stantec report): “Balancing stress and sustainability requires tools like LCA/ESG—seismic designs under CSRD drive net-zero goals efficiently.” (On energy transitions).
Jacobs Engineering Group (CEO: Bob Pragada)
- Experience: Net-zero plants (2025) used ROHR2/AutoPIPE with SpheraCloud for ESG/LCA/CSRD, gaining 25% efficiency. Pragada notes “climate response” integration.
- Quote: Pragada (2025 Jacobs ESG disclosures): “ESG in piping stress/seismic is a duty—LCA tools align with CSRD for 25% carbon reductions and resilient infrastructure.” (From PlanBeyond strategy).
Arup (CEO: Mahadev Raman)
- Experience: Rail infrastructure (2025) emphasized sustainable seismic designs; GaBi for circular LCA. Raman stresses “innovative materials.”
