Mechanical Structure Specialists
Maticon Engineering specializes in the documentation, design, and calculation of mechanical structures.
We are specialists in pressure equipment and installations in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU, offering advisory and consulting services regarding PED and CE marking.
Our services also include strength calculations and FEM/FEA analysis of mechanical structures. We ensure that your structures are correctly dimensioned and comply with current standards and regulatory requirements.
As independent experts, we also undertake damage and failure investigations as well as expert appraisals and assessments within our field.
Specialized services within mechanical structures
PED & Pressure Equipment
We help companies with the design, calculation, and technical documentation of pressure equipment and facilities in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) and standards like EN 13445 and EN 13480.
Our expertise covers strength and stress analysis of pressure vessels, boilers, piping, refrigeration systems, and heat exchangers, as well as FEM/FEA modeling of complex structures.
With many years of practical experience, we have built deep specialized knowledge of pressure equipment, along with a thorough understanding of applicable standards and regulations.
We can act as your technical specialist to prepare calculations and documentation, or serve as your consultant to verify and quality-assure supplier documentation.
Since 2015, Maticon Engineering has contributed to developing pressure equipment standards through active participation in the Danish Standard S-132 committee.

FEM & Mechanical Calculations
Maticon Engineering specializes in the design, dimensioning, and strength calculation of mechanical structures, primarily in steel and aluminum, ranging from bolted and welded joints and components to substructures and technically demanding systems.
We prepare technical documentation based on relevant standards, codes, and regulatory requirements, providing a well-documented technical basis for your design.
We have many years of experience with FEM/FEA analysis of complex structures and components, including the assessment of strength, stability, dynamics, fatigue, and thermal loads.
Throughout the design process, we provide guidance to ensure that the finished product is safe and complies with applicable regulations.

Expert Appraisals
In the event of an accident or disputes regarding defects and deficiencies in a structure, significant disagreement can arise over the cause, liability, and scope.
In such cases, an impartial and qualified expert can carry out an independent, technical assessment of the actual circumstances to establish full clarity on the facts of the case. This is based on the questions posed, the case documents, and a thorough inspection of the structure.
Over the years, Lars Bo Hansen from Maticon Engineering has regularly acted as an expert in appraisal and assessment cases, focusing primarily on the design, engineering, manufacturing, and structural strength of mechanical structures, which includes assessments in relation to relevant codes, standards, and statutory requirements.

Damage & Failure
When structures fail, either wholly or partly, it is important to find the cause of the damage or failure, both to clarify the sequence of events and to prevent similar failures in the future.
Damage and failure investigations typically include a detailed review of the structure that failed, along with a thorough analysis of the design criteria underlying its manufacture, installation, and commissioning, which includes an assessment of whether the structure complies with applicable standards and legislation.
Over the years, Maticon Engineering has carried out or participated as an external party in a large number of damage and failure investigations within mechanical and structural engineering, including machinery, industrial plants, pressure equipment, and other mechanical structures.
