Our sister company Expert Design Systems (EDS) licenses these same tools to clients: Oil & Gas companies, governments and other pipeline engineering consultants. Our unique and user-friendly Ple4Win is a powerful Windows tool in pipeline analysis. Our three core areas of expertise: • pipeline strength and stability engineering • pipeline integrity engineering • technical software development for third parties.
